A brand new check-in spot in Hanoi.
The 8.5 km elevated section of the Nhon - Hanoi Station metro line has officially begun commercial operation. After a week of operation, the metro line has quickly become a new entertainment and experience destination for Hanoi residents. Young people make up the majority of passengers, coming here not only to ride the train but also to take photos and experience new things.
“My first feeling upon boarding the elevated train was one of excitement and novelty, along with joy and enthusiasm at being among the first to experience this new train station,” Pham Tu (born in 1994, from Thai Binh) shared with a Travellive reporter.
After a week of operation, the tram line quickly became a new entertainment and experience destination for people in the capital city.
For the first three months, trains ran regularly every 10 minutes, from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM, offering passengers a convenient and fast travel experience. The Nhon - Hanoi Station metro line has a total length of over 12 km, including 8 elevated stations and 4 underground stations.
The elevated section of the Nhon - Hanoi Station metro line passes through four districts: Bac Tu Liem, Nam Tu Liem, Cau Giay, and Dong Da. This is a high-traffic artery, frequently experiencing congestion, and many intersections are considered traffic "black spots".

"The secret to getting great photos on the elevated train is to capture the moments of the train arriving and departing, the moments of the passengers on the train, the camera angles inside the train carriage, and the views from the train looking out. If you're taking individual check-in photos, you should wait until after the ride time to avoid crowds and get the best angles," Pham Tu shared.
