Tours of coffee shops along Hanoi train street prohibited

In lieu of the dangerous train traffic at the site, the Hanoi Department of Tourism has asked businesses offering tourism and transport services in the city not to launch tours of the train street, a popular destination for many foreign visitors.

The entry ban to the train street, famous for its makeshift coffee shops along the train track running from Le Duan street to Phung Hung street, aims to ensure security and safety for visitors, the department said, urging travel firms to encourage holidaymakers, especially foreigners, not to visit and take photos at the coffee shops.

The department also asked relevant agencies to seriously observe regulations on rail traffic safety and urban order, and assigned its investigation force to step up inspections and handling of wrongdoings.

It was reported that many tourists have visited the rail section in Hang Bong ward, with some groups transported to the barrier on Tran Phu street, causing traffic congestions there./.
