Optimal route for people in the South of Hanoi to watch the parade on the evening of August 24
The optimal route for people in the South of Hanoi (Duong Noi, Phu Luong, Kien Hung wards, Thanh Tri commune, even neighboring provinces such as Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa) to watch the parade on the evening of August 24
1. Using the Cat Linh - Ha Dong Metro Line
This is the best choice for people from the South. This metro line ends at Yen Nghia station, very convenient for people from areas such as Ha Dong, Thanh Xuan, and also those from neighboring provinces such as Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa can park their cars here and board train 28.
The train will take you to Cat Linh station. From here, it is just a short walk to the main streets where the parade passes, such as Nguyen Thai Hoc, Kim Ma, and Trang Thi.
Train schedule for the evening of August 24: Trains operate from 5:30 to 24:00 (2 hours longer than usual), with a frequency of 6-10 minutes/trip. This allows you to stay longer to watch the event and still have a train to return.
2. Combine with related bus routes
If going directly to the metro station is not really convenient, you can combine traveling by bus routes that pass through the central area and connect to metro stations. Some suitable bus routes from the South include:
Route 32:From Giap Bat bus station, go through Le Duan, Tran Hung Dao and Kim Ma streets.
BRT route:From Yen Nghia bus station, go through Le Trong Tan, Le Van Luong, Giang Vo, Kim Ma.
Route E09:From Smart City Urban Area (may be useful for some southern areas) go through Thang Long Avenue, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hoang Dieu.
3. Detailed itinerary and suggested viewing points
Parade route:The parade will pass through main streets such as Hung Vuong, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Kim Ma, Trang Thi, Trang Tien. After getting off at Cat Linh station, you can walk to these streets.
Ideal viewing point:From Cat Linh station, you can head to good viewing spots along Nguyen Thai Hoc, Kim Ma, or Trang Thi streets. These are places with wide views and convenient for observing the parade blocks.
To get a good spot, you should arrive 5-6 hours before the event (8:00 p.m.) due to the large crowd.
