Vietnamese government decides to close down all cafes along Hanoi city's railway over safety concerns for selfie-seeking tourists

Tourists sit in cafes near a railway track as others take a picture on it, along a street in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam October 8, 2019. Picture taken October 8, 2019.

The sight has become such a draw in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi that authorities have set a weekend deadline for the removal of dozens of cafes that have cropped up, citing safety concerns. It uses an old-fashioned French narrow gauge, and is so old that when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited Hanoi in February for a summit with US President Donald Trump, he had to stop at the border and continue by car.

In recent months, crowds of tourists have gathered along the railway to snap selfies with passing trains or lounge at trackside cafes.
