Tren de la Hanoi spre/dinspre Ninh Binh operat de Căile Ferate din Vietnam

We took the Chapa Express from Sapa to Hanoi Railway Station and then continued our journey directly from Hanoi to Ninh Binh by train. Train tickets can only be purchased online one month in advance. We tried searching for the 8:00 AM train on the official railway website, but couldn’t find any tickets available. However, we found the same train on the Klook app, so we decided to book it through Klook instead. The price difference was very small, and we also received a free 1GB eSIM, which was perfect for our trip in Vietnam. The redemption process was very convenient. We simply showed the QR code from the Klook app to the staff and were allowed to enter. The only confusing part was finding the correct platform at Hanoi Railway Station. It took us a little while, but we eventually found it. Another useful tip: Hanoi Railway Station has luggage lockers, so you can leave your luggage there if you need to travel around without carrying your bags.

on time train, clean train station, comfortable AC coach. this is really a great choice for transfer between Hanoi and Ninh Binh. hassle free booking through Klook. happy that got to experience public train from another country

Train was comfy, left on time. Easy to navigate through station. Guards assist in locating your carriage. Got to go through train street on departing Hanoi. Snacks offered for sale during the trip. Easy to book and last minute was possible with a quick follow up email to confirm booking

super easy to get through by showing the QR code. but honestly just show up at the airport and buy a ticket. it’s so much cheaper. on the app it’s about 250k but at the station it is only 90k.

Booking was easy. They honored our QR code. Train was okay, not that squeaky clean but its doable. AC is working well. Its also a comfortable ride. It also left on time, so be sure to be there at least 30min before.

On time. Clean & neat. The station easy to find and simple step. The train a lil bit old. Over all its a nice trip

ขั้นตอนการจองที่นั่ง: จองที่นั่งง่ายมาก และระบบออกตั๋วให้ภายใน 3 วัน สามารถนำตั๋วไปใช้ที่สถานีรถไฟได้เลย พื้นที่ที่ครอบคลุมการใช้งาน: ใช้งานได้ทันทีโดยไม่ต้องออกตั๋วใหม่

I find the train experience is not bad with decent seats & aircon working fine. You can buy foods on the train but not sure if can communicate well in English but you can also buy some stuff from convenience store at Ninh Binh station. There are two stops along the way from Ninh Binh to Hanoi, train was on time while whole journey duration took about 2.5 hour. If you already took car transport from Hanoi over to Ninh Binh, then I think the return trip is worth to take this train for a different experience.

公式サイトではベトナム口座と連携するクレカしか決済できず、klookで予約できることを知って安心しました。 ハノイ駅は小さくて、東京駅みたいだったら迷うなと心配してましたが、全く心配ないサイズで間違えようがありません。電光掲示板は外国人にもわかりやすい表示で、30分前にチェックインが必要とありましたが、思ったチェックインはなくて、電車が来たら改札でQRコードを見せるだけで、スキャンもされずでした。指定席ですが、番号がシートの背中にあり見づらいです。 ソフトシートは意外と古くて清潔感はないに等しいです。トイレは汚いので使わないように駅で行くべきです。 車内販売はかなりローカルな内容なので、衛生的にも駅の売店やテイクアウトバインミーなどを買って持ち込むことをお勧めしますが、ハノイ駅の売店は高くて微妙、駅前のバインミー屋さんのものもあまり美味しくないので、ご注意を。 ニンビン駅はガラーンとしてかなり寂しい雰囲気で、ちょっと心配になりますが、GRABで配車するとすぐに来てくれました。 流しの白タクもいないので、ニンビンではGRABは必須です。 片道を電車にした事で、ベトナムの風景がたっぷり楽しめました。帰りはタクシー利用しました。

The train journey from Hanoi to Ninh Binh was a really nice experience. The train was comfortable, and it was relaxing to sit back and enjoy the scenery along the way. The journey took around 2–2.5 hours, and it was much more enjoyable than travelling by bus. A great option if you want to experience local life and travel at a slower pace. I would definitely recommend taking the train!
