Scenic Train Journeys in Vietnam in the Spotlight – A Breathtaking Way to Experience the Country

Train travel in Vietnam is emerging as a new and exciting tourist trend. Offering a more affordable and scenic alternative to flying, it allows passengers to soak in the beauty of the nation’s breathtaking landscapes, as highlighted in a May 2024 article in VietNamNet, an online newspaper. The introduction of luxury trains has further fuelled this trend as rail tourism caters not only to transportation needs but to also create unique travel experiences; it additionally aligns with the growing interest in sustainable tourism which is making it even more sought-after.

One such example is The Vietage by Anantara, featured in CNN’s 2021 list of “6 amazing Asia train journeys for food, scenery and culture.” This luxurious train provides an unforgettable way to explore Central Vietnam. Passengers can enjoy gourmet meals, high tea, and head & shoulder treatments all while taking in stunning views from their carriages. It remains a popular route for travellers journeying from Da Nang to Quy Nhon, a top coastal destination home to some of the best luxury resorts in Vietnam. After staying here at properties like Anantara Quy Nhon Villas and experiencing coastal bliss and cultural adventures, travellers can seamlessly continue their journey by train to Nha Trang. These unique experiences are driving the surge in popularity for train travel which is poised for continued growth throughout 2024 and beyond.
