Ticket to the Realm of Memories of Hanoi
A nostalgic tramway reborn
Inspired by the historic ground-level tram system that served Hanoians for nearly a century (1901–1991), the new Line 6 Street Tram Experience re-imagines this beloved symbol right in the heart of the city.
Leng Keng Echoes - Following the Traces of Hanoi’s Old Tram
Along the edge of Truc Bach Lake, two-storey tram carriages have been transformed into a unique “street museum”, linking iconic cultural and spiritual landmarks such as Quan Thanh Temple, Tran Quoc Pagoda, Thuy Trung Tien Temple, and the Ngu Xa bronze-casting craft village. Visitors don’t just observe heritage, they experience it with all five senses: see, hear, touch, taste and feel.
Nine stops - nine immersive encounters
Each tram carriage acts as a mini gallery, sharing intimate stories of Hanoi’s lifestyle, cuisine and artisanal traditions.
Highlights include:
- Quan Thanh Temple: one of the Four Sacred Temples of Thang Long.
- Thuy Trung Tien Temple: Discover the Mother Goddess worship tradition and enjoy a live Chau Van performance by the lake.
