The North-South Railway, often called the Reunification Express, runs 1,700 km down the length of Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), passing close to many of the country’s major cities and popular tourist destinations. Ten trains (SE1 to SE10) run the full route, taking around 35 hours. Other services cover shorter sections of the line, including Hanoi to Da Nang, Hue to Da Nang, Hanoi to Vinh and Saigon to Nha Trang.
