Vietnam may soon stop trains from running through its famous café streets of Hanoi. This street became popular because trains pass very close to cafés and tourists like to watch and take photos. The city is now planning to change the train route, as per reports.
Reports citing officials noted that the change is for safety reasons. Many visitors stand very near the tracks, and this can be dangerous. If trains stop running here, the street may lose its main attraction.
This café street became viral on social media as the tourists from around the world visited the place to experience the train passing just inches away. Local cafés also depend on tourists for business.
However, many have supported the decision. They believe safety is more important than tourism, others worry that local shop owners may lose income if trains no longer pass.
The final decision has not been announced yet, but if the plan happens, it could mark the end of one of Hanoi’s most unique tourist spots.
Many travel agencies are watching the situation closely. Some believe the area can still attract visitors with cafés, street food, and local culture even without trains. Business owners hope the government will support them during this change.
City authorities may also take public opinion before making a final decision, as per reports. For now, trains are still running and tourists continue to visit.
