The recently approved plan for the 5th metro line, an impressive 40km route with 20 stations and 2 large depots, is set to revolutionize travel in the city. This line, running from Van Cao to Hoa Lac, offers a significant portion of underground travel, starting from Van Cao and continuing through Lieu Giai, Nguyen Chi Thanh, and Tran Duy Hung. The above-ground and elevated sections begin after the National Convention Center, following the Thang Long Boulevard to its terminus at Hoa Lac.
