Starting from May 25th, two trains, MR1 and MR2, will resume daily operations between Hanoi’s Gia Lam station and China’s Nanning station, offering a convenient travel option for passengers.

Train MR1 will depart from Gia Lam at 9:20 pm, arriving in Nanning at 10:06 am the following day. Meanwhile, train MR2 will leave Nanning at 6:05 pm and reach Gia Lam at 5:30 am on the next day, providing a comfortable and efficient journey.

Furthermore, starting from May 27th, direct trains will be operated between Gia Lam Station in Hanoi and Beijing Station in China, offering an even more extensive travel network.

Ticket prices for the Hanoi-Nanning route are set at approximately VND 1 million one way, while the Hanoi-Beijing route costs around VND 9.37 million. Children under 4 travel for free, and those aged 4 to 12 receive a 50% discount. Each adult is allowed to bring one child, and groups of six or more people are eligible for a 25% discount.

Tickets for the cross-border routes are currently available at Hanoi, Gia Lam, Bac Giang, and Dong Dang stations, sold by the Vietnam Railways Corporation.

The resumption of cross-border train services between Vietnam and China is a positive step towards strengthening economic ties and optimizing cross-border infrastructure. It also presents an attractive travel option for international tourists wishing to explore both countries by train. To ensure a seamless travel experience, immigration checks have been streamlined through collaboration between the railway corporations of both countries.

Depending on the demand in the coming months, the frequency of train services may be adjusted to cater to the needs of travelers.
