The train, operated by BHL Tourism Service Trading Company, draws inspiration from the ancient Thang Long Citadel. Its carriages are named after five historic gates — Quan Chuong, Cau Den, Dong Mac, Cau Giay, and Cho Dua.
Accordingly, two trains BHL1/BHL2 and BHL3/BHL4 will depart every day from Hanoi, pass through Long Bien, Gia Lam, Yen Vien, Tu Son, before returning to the starting point. Tourists can check in 30 minutes prior to the departure times at 8am and 1.30pm and will arrive at the destination at 8.41am and 2.32pm.
For the first time, a tourist train has been created to showcase Hanoi’s culture along the railway, combining nostalgia with modern comfort and offering a new travel experience.

The ticket sale system will be expanded at the official counters of Vietnam Railway Corporation at the Hanoi Station, website www.hanoitrain.vn, as well as through the network of domestic and foreign travel agents.
