There is a safe and comfortable twice-weekly train service between Beijing & Hanoi. A Chinese express train with 4-berth soft class sleepers and restaurant car runs from Beijing to Dong Dang on the Vietnamese frontier (you might need to get off and wait on the platform for an hour or two at Nanning while the train is shunted). At Dong Dang you pass through customs and passport control and board a connecting Vietnamese metre-gauge train for the final run to Hanoi.
The departure days from Hanoi is on Tuesday and Fridays. It arrives in Beijing on Thursday and Sunday. You should go to Hanoi station or Beijing station to get tickets. You will need to show your passport and a valid visa for Chine or Vietnam. The railway station does not do visa service.
