Section 1 after passing Truong Lam mountain will avoid the Hoang Mai Cement Factory area, in Hoang Mai ward, heading west, located between the current North-South railway corridor and the expressway. In the photo is the flat area between the Hoang Mai Cement Factory and the expressway. Photo: Tien DongThe planned route will cross the Hoang Mai River between the old railway and the highway.

This season, seen from above, the villages appear amidst the green fields. Photo: Tien DongBecause the Quynh Van commune area has many hills and mountains, the Thong Nhat train has to run in a winding route. According to the studied route, the high-speed railway will be located between the expressway and the current railway. Photo: Tien DongThe area is expected to pass through Quynh Luu commune (merged from Cau Giat town, Quynh Hau commune, Quynh Dien commune, Quynh Giang commune and Binh Son commune of the old Quynh Luu district). Photo: Tien DongWhen passing through Hung Chau commune (an area belonging to Dien Truong commune, old Dien Chau district), the high-speed railway basically runs parallel to the current railway and is 100m - 400m to the West. Currently, the North-South railway through this section runs close to National Highway 1A.
