It is really difficult to find a place in the world having the railway next to the houses of residents
as the Old Quarter of Viet Nam, and the houses are far from the rail way less than one meter only.
When seeing this scene, many tourists call the place “unique place in the world” or “just only in Viet Nam”.

When coming to Viet Nam, Scott Pocock accidentally went to the railway hamlet in Le Duan area, near Ha Noi railway station.
He was really attracted by the railroad coming over the in front of the houses.

Many tourists share that their first feeling when seeing photos which Scott Pocock took is “dangerous and unsafe”.

However for very many years, the residents are familiar with that sometimes there are trains going in front of their houses.

Besides that, the life here still happens peacefully as anywhere in the busy capital, Ha Noi.

Every daily activities of people still take place normally, and not be disturbed by the railway in front.
Both adults and children play beside the railway naturally and calmly.

In each day, there are two trains going pass here, in the morning and afternoon.
Especially, when the train go through, there is no sign of warning and the people do also not panic to avoid the trains.
And this is the thing here making him fascinated.


They even-though open coffee shop right on the railway to bring travelers the unique feeling.
You cannot find out another railyway coffee shop like this in the others of the World.

This is the scene before and when the train arrives.
