Mr. Hoang Phuong Nam, the owner of a cafe in Nghia Lo town in Yen Bai province, has spent up to six years to make a traffic mock-up with mountains, forests and sea that looks very real,
with vehicles like trains and cars programmed to run automatically.
Nam’s mock-up is perhaps the only one in Vietnam. It looks real, even the tiny details.
Nam, who was not trained at electrical or electronic schools, studied on the Internet how to create the design for the mock-up, which uses complicated techniques in electricity and electronics.
Nam said he spent tens of thousands of USD on this mock-up. He ordered every detail from overseas through the Internet.
The 30m long mock-up is inside a glass box on the first floor of the coffee shop named after the owner, Mr. Nam.
