May 13, 2025 marks the 70th anniversary of the complete liberation of Hai Phong Port City. During that long journey, Hai Phong has not only grown strongly on the socio-economic map but also affirmed its position as an important cultural and tourist center of the North. Not simply a means of transportation, "Hoa Phuong Do" was born to be positioned as a unique tourism product, elevating the experience of traveling by rail. The train consists of 20 brand new carriages, standing out with a modern, comfortable design, bearing the imprint of local culture.
"Traveling from Da Nang to Hanoi to experience the Red Flamboyant Week, especially admiring nature on the special train celebrating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Hai Phong city in a different way. This is the first time I have sat in such a modern and comfortable train cabin. This could be an unforgettable memory for me" - Mr. Van Phuc, a passenger from Da Nang, shared.
On the Red Flamboyant Train
With a name inspired by the symbolic flower of Hai Phong, “Red Flamboyant Flower” not only awakens memories of a bright red summer but also represents a youthful, creative and connected spirit that is true to the stature of Hai Phong in its new development stage.
The train is expected to become an attractive highlight for domestic and foreign tourists when coming to Hai Phong, both enjoying a relaxing journey and exploring the beautiful scenery along the railway, from the peaceful Northern villages to the modern life of the Port City.
VIP Indochine Car - Luxurious space in the heart of the train
The most special highlight of “Hoa Phuong Do” lies in the two VIP carriages - where the quintessence of design and attention to detail converge. Inspired by the Indochine style, the blend of traditional Asian beauty and Western luxury, the VIP carriage space opens up a fascinating world, where each passenger seems to return to the nostalgic Indochina period, but with international standard amenities.
Business class has a bar serving drinks to passengers.
Carefully selected natural wood floors, along with high-quality wood-grained PVC Nano wall panels, create a cozy and elegant feeling. The interior is divided into three separate areas with single sofas and long sofas, ensuring privacy while still being convenient for chatting, enjoying coffee or admiring the scenery outside through large windows.
The ceiling is covered with delicate floral fabric, combined with LED lights and artistic table lamps to create a sparkling space like a miniature royal train. A small bar serving coffee and drinks is cleverly arranged inside, providing a truly relaxing space. In particular, live music performances will be held right on the train, elevating the travel experience to a new level, a lively, artistic space right on the rails.
Mobile check-in point in the middle of royal poinciana flower season
The exterior of the train is also impressively designed with three main colors: blue - white - red, directly reminiscent of the blooming royal poinciana flowers every summer. The soft lines combined with bright colors make the train not only stand out in the middle of the station but also become an ideal check-in spot, especially for young people and tourists who love taking photos.
Admire the full beauty of nature through the glass window
Large windows and fabric curtains open on both sides, creating a feeling of closeness to nature, allowing passengers to easily admire the changes of the country through each frame. This is also a "privileged perspective" to record the picturesque journey from Hanoi to Hai Phong - from the vast rice fields to the ancient train station, from the quiet countryside to the modern bridges connecting the two banks of the river.
Not only focusing on the VIP carriages, the “Hoa Phuong Do” train has invested synchronously in both interior and service. Free wifi system covers all carriages, helping passengers easily work, entertain or share moments of the trip on social networks.
In particular, the 56-seat carriages are equipped with 180-degree swivel seats - a small improvement but a big change. Passengers can flexibly adjust their seating direction to avoid motion sickness, and proactively choose the best seating angle for themselves. Details such as separate charging sockets and mini folding tables also contribute to comfort and convenience throughout the journey.
Modern air conditioning system, natural wooden floors and good soundproofing and anti-vibration materials help reduce noise and create a quiet space - ideal for light conversations or simply a short nap as the train glides gently through the countryside.
The appearance of “Red Flamboyant” is not only an impressive welcome for the 70th anniversary of Hai Phong Liberation Day but also marks a strong step forward in the tourism thinking of the Vietnam Railway industry. From a simple means of transportation, the train has now become a “green tourism product”, environmentally friendly and deeply attached to the cultural identity of each land it passes through.
As the need for personal experiences and sustainable travel trends are on the rise, “Hoa Phuong Do” has promptly captured the spirit of the times: not only taking passengers from point A to point B, but also leading them on a meaningful multi-layered journey, where comfort meets culture, where modernity meets tradition, and where every trip is worth keeping in the heart.
Welcome the future from the rails today
After the pandemic, the railway industry experienced an unprecedented period of difficulty. But with a strong comeback, especially through projects like “Hoa Phuong Do”, it can be seen that a spirit of innovation, readiness to adapt and breakthrough is spreading throughout the industry.
The train is not only a symbol of connecting two major economic and tourist centers of the North, but also an affirmation of the ability to create and innovate to keep up with the trend of integration and development. Each train rolling is also a promise for a modern, attractive and closer railway future to people's lives.
“Red Flamboyant Flower” is a meaningful gift of gratitude on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Hai Phong’s liberation, the result of close coordination between the local government and the railway industry in promoting civilized and modern tourism. More than a means of transport, “Red Flamboyant Flower” is a poetic invitation: get on the train, sit in the seat, listen to the sound of the iron wheels grinding on the rails, and let this journey take you to beautiful things – between modernity and memory, between speed and tranquility, between Hanoi and Hai Phong.
