How to get from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City by train?

Getting from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City by train is an interesting and relatively comfortable way to travel, which is worth it if you have time and want to save on a hotel night. Trains cover this distance in 17-20 hours.

It is best to take the night train in a Soft Sleeper class compartment (4-berth). It has air conditioning, sockets, and you can lie down at full length.
