arrive at/in
If I say "he will arrive at Ha Noi next week", will people understand that he will arrive at Ha Noi station?
My teacher says I must have ''Ha Noi station" to have ''arrive at" and use ''arrive in Ha Noi"(no ''station'')
What I'm trying to ask is that if it's ok to say ''he will arrive AT Ha Noi"(Ha Noi is a city and a station as well)
My teacher says I must have ''Ha Noi station" to have ''arrive at" and use ''arrive in Ha Noi"(no ''station'')
What I'm trying to ask is that if it's ok to say ''he will arrive AT Ha Noi"(Ha Noi is a city and a station as well)

With 'at' I would expect 'Hanoi' to mean a station or airport. With 'in' I would expect 'Hanoi' to mean the city. You cannot use one preposition to mean both the station/airport and the city.

My English test question:
He will arrive _____ Hanoi next week.
a.in b.to c.at d.on
So both in and at are correct? Because Hanoi can be a station or a city..
Thank you.
