Phong Nha to Hanoi by train – Vietnam Railways

Book your unforgettable journey from Phong Nha to Hanoi now! While there’s no direct train from Phong Nha, it’s easy to catch one from Dong Hoi train station, just 40 km away in Quang Binh city.

Experience the comfort and convenience of the Reunification Express, with six daily trains (SE8, SE6, SE4, SE2, SE12, and SE20) whisking you through the scenic 407 km route to Hanoi in about 8 hours. Choose from a range of ticket options to suit your needs: soft seat, 6-berth cabin, or 4-berth cabin.

Before booking the train:

• While train journeys in Vietnam are exciting, they may not meet luxury or European standards. Vietnam Railways’ trains and facilities are older, with some parts not well maintained.

• To ensure availability, book your Quang Binh to Hanoi train tickets at least 2 days in advance. Avoid booking within 5 hours of departure, as the system stops selling tickets by then. For urgent bookings, contact us directly on WhatsApp for assistance.
