Cat Linh - Ha Dong: The capital's first elevated railway line
Since November 6, the Cat Linh - Ha Dong train has transported more than 600,000 passengers, an average of about 20,000 passengers traveling each day. Especially in the first 15 days, the free-ticket train route has attracted more than 300,000 passengers to experience. Currently, the train ticket price is quite economical, suitable for those who have just started working or have low income. "I work in shifts, many days I can only go home at 9:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Now that this train route is available, I can go early or come back late, no worries about rain or shine, especially no traffic jams or crowds like when traveling by motorbike or bus...", Ms. Huyen Anh, in Lieu Giai, Ba Dinh said.
Not only is it a new means of public transport, helping the capital's people to travel more conveniently, this place is becoming a place that attracts many young people to experience and check-in 'virtual life'. Hanoi's youth have quickly found the best photo angles at Hanoi's first elevated railway line. It is not too difficult to find a super beautiful check-in angle or need a skillful ability to adjust the camera angle. Train passengers only need to wear their favorite outfits to have outstanding photos on social networks.
Traveling and taking photos: An experience not to be missed
Taking photos next to the train is an experience that many young passengers love. This place is also chosen by many couples to take wedding photos, marking their happy day with the historical event of the capital. "In the morning, I proposed the idea of taking wedding photos at the train station, the bride and groom immediately agreed and we did it that same afternoon," said photographer Ngoc Thien.
The best time to take photos is in the morning and at noon during the week. For those who love to "live virtual", a tip to remember is to choose the last car to hunt for artistic shots by the window because this car is usually less crowded than the others. Anyone who is a "nerd" of Korean and Chinese movies and takes this train will definitely have moments of surprise, as if they are lost in the scene of a movie. Don't forget to admire the city scenery continuously passing through the train windows.
The wall is covered with thousands of bright colored tiles at the train stations, which are sought after by many young people to take pictures. Each station has a different color of tiles such as yellow, blue, orange... Passengers can stop at any station whose tile color best matches their outfit. Khuong Dinh station has yellow tiles, Cat Linh station has blue tiles and Ha Dong station has green tiles. A little tip when taking pictures is to take advantage of the diagonal lines from the stainless steel handrails to make the photo look more "attractive".
Some other impressive shooting angles are created by the white lighting system in the station. In addition, the 2nd floor area has a pretty "cool" shooting angle when there is sunlight in the morning or late afternoon.
Countless "deep" clips and "chill" photo angles are waiting for you to "hunt". Rest assured that this place is sometimes romantic, sometimes cheerful, but sometimes there is something peaceful...
