Stepping off North–South express trains SE1, SE3, SE19 or the heritage train HD1 at Da Nang Train Station can feel hectic when dozens of street taxis crowd the main gate. Knowing the exact passenger exit layout and private car pickup lane along Hai Phong street (the 202 Hai Phong station zone) lets your family walk less than 50 metres from the ticket gate directly to your waiting vehicle.
Station exit layout and private car pickup lane (202 Hai Phong)
Da Nang Train Station sits along Hai Phong street in Thanh Khe District and is easily recognised by the historic steam locomotive displayed on its front plaza. Once your train comes to a complete stop on the platform:
- Walk from the platform to the main ticket gate: Follow the covered walkway from your coach into the ground-floor arrival concourse and pass through the ticket check doors onto the station forecourt.
- Spot your driver with a name board: Your driver stands right outside the passenger exit gate facing the Hai Phong street car park (gate 202 Hai Phong pickup lane and the 202 Hai Phong steam locomotive plaza), holding a sign with your name.
- Under 50 metres of flat rolling distance: Because private pre-booked vehicles park inside the forecourt lot rather than out on the public sidewalk, your driver takes your suitcases right at the exit and loads them into the trunk before passing the station barrier gate.
