Hanoi: Life along the railway and with Hát Bôi on the street

• Reality

Episode overview

The photographers have found their temporary home base in the bustling capital, Hanoi. Here lies the remarkable phenomenon of ‘Train Street,’ a narrow street where trains thunder past the houses just a few meters away. Daily life literally unfolds on and around the tracks: residents cook, chat, and relax while the train passes at fixed times. This unique combination of urban life and rail traffic makes it a fascinating location for reportage photography. In addition to this extraordinary street scene, the group also delves into the rich and colorful world of Vietnamese opera, where centuries-old traditions and expressive art forms come together.
