* Status:

Located in the inner city, Danang railway station is one of the biggest ones on the North-South rail route and is part of the national rail system. There are 29 train trips from Hochiminh city and Hanoi to Danang every week. From Danang, it is possible for travelers to buy tickets to all stations nationwide.

The Danang railway station was built and inaugurated in 1902 under the domination of the French based on the synchronized architecture from north to south. Since its establishment, much reconstruction and many improvements have been made, so there is no trace of the old architectural style. After the complete liberation of South Vietnam, Danang railway station was expanded to become a sectional unit with 3 functions: freight, travelers and technology demonstration stations.

Currently, Danang railway station is considered the biggest and most well-equipped one in Central Vietnam. It has been upgraded to be spacious and comfortable with an air-conditioned and well-equipped 200-person waiting lounge and can supply travelers with many additional services such as restaurants, bars, public telephone boxes, newspaper shops, washrooms and toilets. Security and order here are also assured.

* Development orientation:

- Improve and upgrade Kim Lien technical and freight rail station to serve the industrial zones of Lien Chieu and Hoa Khanh.

- By 2010, the passenger, freight and technical stations will have been moved and newly built at Hoa Minh, Hoa Phat near the foot of Phuoc Tuong mountain.
