It was alright. Nice high view of Da Nang and the winding road that you drive to get up there. The view point / fort area is small but free. You can see both sides of the pass from here.
Good for stretching your legs, but otherwise, quite dull. The road up is not that scenic. Lots of lush trees and peek a boo views of the water. There is a brand new water fall bath area that just opened at the base of the ascent. It's the biggest waterfall with mountain stream water. Only 1 other water fall that was basically a small, small, unimpressive stream after that.
The strip of shops have garbage piled along side of them that makes for a small sad sight. I'm not tourist that can ignore stuff like that. 1 star knocked for this. It obviously wasn't just garbage from the last day or two. I wish people (merchants, locals and visitors) would take better care of their neighboring spaces, not just their immediate spaces or property.
The fort itself is nice but not worth the extra 10km and time if you are prone to carsickness or have other things to see. I was fine with the ride but my mother got sick. Apparently, it gets really busy some days, with folks running across the road and no place for cars and busses to stop but it was very quiet when we were there. I'd definitely NOT go back if it was busy. I would be happier spending more time at one of the many seafood restaurants or drink spots along the way.
