HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): As Vietnam aims to build the longest flower path of its kind in the country, stretching over 3,000km along the north-south railway line, many experts and residents have applauded the plan as a potential tourist draw, though concerns over railway safety have also been raised.

The flower path will feature specific flowers that represent the 34 provinces and cities that it passes by, according to Dang Sy Manh, general director of the Vietnam Railways Corporation, which is in charge of the railway line.
