When the wind of the train brushes across your face

🇻🇳When the wind of the train brushes across your face🚂💖🚉If I had ever encountered you on a train railway, I believe when the wind from the passing train brushes my cheeks, I must be holding hands with you on this exciting and surprising train street, where dual tracks no longer separate us. Hanoi Train Street, Vietnam.

✨In the old quarter of Vietnam, there is a special street that people call the Train Street. Most tourists come here just for the novelty of taking photos, but the locals have been living with this railway for decades.

✨The train passes by here twice a day, once at 3:30 pm and once at 7:30 pm. The speed of Vietnam's trains is as slow as our oldest green trains, about 40 kilometers per hour.

✨This track, built during the French colonial period, has nearly a hundred years of history. The people of Hanoi have become accustomed to the roar of these old-fashioned trains, living in harmony with them, and it seems that their lives have not changed because of it.

✨The tracks are only one or two meters away from the houses, with various fruit shops, barber shops, and restaurants on both sides. The residents here regard this track as their public area, where people cook and children play.

🚂Most residents of Vietnam are very open and even casual about the use of public space, and there are no urban management officers to disturb them here, which is probably why the people of Train Street can face their life situation so calmly.

🚂Everything here seems extremely old, old trains, old tracks, old houses, yellowed signs, and blurred street signs, but the smiles of the people here always seem more cordial and fresh than the merchants near the nearby Sword Lake.
