The Hanoi street is 500 meters long and the train passes straight through twice a day.
Can you imagine someone living in such a street? Where their children play literally on the line,immediately after passing the train (let's not forget the noise too)
This street is said to be a unique attraction in Vietnam. Sure it is. Someone will said an extraordinary place to live. What do you say?

@LowRiderX Not all streets in Milan are large, the subway pass under some very old streets that are narrow... and near closed waterways, scary!

@LadyDuck Yeah 'only' twice a day 
I hope the train does not let the sound go through that street. It can be awkward in some situations. Actually, when I think about it ... in most of situations
Yes but that is subway of Milan, look at this street how narrow it is 
And believe it or not, they keep chickens too in this street...

@LowRiderX I have read about it before, as it is a tourist destination it is fair that people who lives there earn some money.

@nela13 Yes, but I think they can (and probably some already earn) ... in that street there is a boutiques, a coffee shops ...They can probably rent a rooms too, for example (!?)

Wow that is interesting LowRider. I had never heard of this place.
I love the sound of trains but at a distance.

@TiarasOceanView Understandably and why. I only hope that the train does not release the sound as it passes through that street.

@YrNemo Look a lot dangerous to me. I guess they're used to it, there's no second chance in that street, only one

@LowRiderX wow I would never imagine a place such as this! I would be too worried to live in that place or more worried about having children or pets there in case they were on the train tracks at the wrong time.

@VivaLaDani13 As I found it on the internet, they are used to, the train passes twice a day, in the morning and in the evening

I have been to Hanoi and heard about this but did not see this train passing through the street.
I think people know how to safeguard themselves.
I give below a video link - siva
A bite sized chunk of travel inspiration from Hanoi Vietnam. In the middle of Hanoi is a narrow residential street that is literally on the Hanoi to Ho Chi M...

Perhaps because it goes only twice a day, in the morning and evening. Thanks for the link!
