Travel Guide to Viet Nam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from a location in Northwest Vietnam, take the AH14 highway heading southeast towards Hanoi. Follow the signs for Hanoi and continue onto National Route 6. As you approach Hanoi, merge onto Thang Long Highway (also known as National Highway 32). After approximately 15 kilometers, take the exit towards Pháo Đài Láng. Continue straight until you reach 8 P. Pháo Đài Láng, which is the address of the Viet Nam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration. There is parking available nearby, but be aware that parking fees may apply.

• Bus

  From any major town in Northwest Vietnam, such as Sơn La or Điện Biên Phủ, you can take a bus to Hanoi. Look for buses heading to Mỹ Đình Bus Station. Upon arrival at Mỹ Đình, you can catch a local taxi or rideshare to get to the administration. Provide the driver with the address: 8 P. Pháo Đài Láng, Láng Thượng, Đống Đa, Hanoi. Expect to pay for the taxi fare, which may vary based on traffic.

• Train

  For those near rail stations, consider taking a train to Hanoi. From cities like Sơn La, you might need to take a bus to the nearest train station first, then board a train to Hanoi Railway Station. Once at the station, you can take a taxi or a ride-sharing service directly to the Viet Nam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration at 8 P. Pháo Đài Láng. Train tickets can be purchased online or at the station, and taxi fares will apply for the last leg of your journey.

• Motorbike Taxi (Xe Ôm)

  If you're already in Hanoi, consider using a motorbike taxi for a quick and convenient ride to the Viet Nam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration. You can find motorbike taxis in various locations. Simply tell the driver '8 P. Pháo Đài Láng, Láng Thượng, Đống Đa' and they should be able to take you there. The fare is typically inexpensive, but it's advisable to confirm the price before starting your journey.
