Frequently asked questions
About Family Express Train From Hanoi to Sapa.
What time does the train leave Hanoi and when does it arrive?
The train departs Hanoi Railway Station (120 Le Duan Street) at 22:40 and arrives at Lao Cai Railway Station at 06:40 the next morning — an overnight journey of about 8 hours, so you sleep on board and wake up ready for Sapa.
Does the train take me all the way to Sapa town?
No — the train terminates at Lao Cai station, about 35 km from Sapa town. A shared or private onward transfer to your Sapa hotel can be booked as an add-on.
What's the difference between the Deluxe and VIP cabins on the Hanoi to Sapa train?
The Deluxe Cabin ($45/ticket) is a shared cabin with 4 berths, so a family of four can book the whole cabin. The VIP Cabin ($90/ticket) is a private 2-berth cabin for couples or solo travelers who want privacy.

Each passenger can bring up to 20 kg of checked luggage plus one small handbag of about 5 kg.
