On the morning of March 26, Vietnam Railway Corporation coordinated with the People's Committee of Thua Thien - Hue province and the People's Committee of Da Nang city to organize the opening of the train "Connecting Central Heritage", in the form of combined transport business with exploitation of tourism services.

At the ceremony, Mr. Dang Sy Manh, the Chairman of the Board of Members of Vietnam Railway Corporation, said that putting the Hue - Da Nang section train into operation not only contributes to ensuring traffic connection of people between the two cities of Hue and Da Nang but also an interesting experience for tourists when coming to the two most ancient and modern tourist cities in the country.

With a travel time of about 3 hours, the train will take tourists through Hai Van Pass - a place known as "The most majestic place in the world" to reach Da Nang, where its long coastline is known as one of the six most beautiful beaches on the planet.

And in the opposite direction (Da Nang - Hue), visitors will set foot in the heritage land, the ancient capital of Hue.

From the boat, visitors can admire the majestic and beautiful natural scenery, where the North and South region of Vietnam meet, with one side being the endless Truong Son range and the other side the immense sea.
