Hanoi to Ha Long Bay in 23 minutes: This is how Vietnam’s first high-speed railway will look like

Last month, the Quang Ninh People’s Committee and VinSpeed High-Speed Rail Investment and Development JSC, a company of billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong’s conglomerate Vingroup, in coordination with the Hanoi, Hai Phong and Bac Ninh People’s Committees, broke ground on the Hanoi-Quang Ninh high-speed railway, scheduled for completion at the end of 2028.

Total investment is VND147.37 trillion (US$5.59 billion), funded by the investor, not including VND10.27 trillion in site clearance costs fully covered by the state.
