Tourists visit local cafes set up just inches away from a track regularly used by high-speed trains in Hanoi city, Vietnam.

The video of the narrow street taken on August 8 has reportedly become a popular attraction, with tourists supposedly trying to touch the train as it moves by which is "very dangerous".

An extremely interesting street, called “the train street”. The video captured in Ha Noi city, Viet Nam on August 18.

The Old Quarter section – this has cafes, homestay and shops along the tracks. They sell basic hot and cold drinks including smoothies and beers.

Despite being warned in the press about violating safety corridors, the number of curious visitors to this "special" railroad has increased. The cafes serving tourists also sprout up along the road.

When the train passed, many tourists also tried to touch the train. This is a very dangerous action.

Before each train passed, these Hanoi train cafes were crowded. Guests sit in the middle of the coffee and beer rails.

The Train street was very crowded and active, which contrasted with the old houses. People had several nationalities, from American, European, Korean, Southeast Asian, to Vietnamese. Many stores are established: coffee shops, souvenir shops, ao dai shops, and even a nail salon.

This is a crowded residential area in Hanoi that a speeding train passes straight through twice a day. The street is so narrow that all residents must ensure their bikes and precious personal belongings, are all safely inside the house before the train passes.

Visitors always pose along the tracks when no trains are coming which is fine.
