Hải Vân Pass

One of the iconic places in Vietnam if you travel along in motorcycle. The road is in a good condition and you can see beautiful landscapes. If you watched the Top Gear Vietnam's special you should come here and route it.

Travelled this way back to Da Nang from Hue. Very windy and slow route but an interesting drive with great views. Stopped at the top for scenic views in all directions. Followed a low loader with three excavators on the back for some time at low speed!

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.

The ride is thrilling, with sharp turns and steep climbs, but the breathtaking scenery makes it all worthwhile. You’ll pass through misty peaks, historic bunkers, and scenic viewpoints — perfect for a quick stop and photos. It’s an ideal journey for adventurous travelers looking to experience Vietnam’s natural beauty up close.

If you like mountains and if you like to ride then you must do this if you’re in danang. You get beautiful views of the beach and the city. If you’re going by e bikes, see that it’s one person per bike because the bike won’t go if it’s two persons. If you really want to enjoy this ride take a normal bike and fill up. The whole route has breathtaking views. It takes around 45-50 mins from the centre of danang. There are many cafés with amazing views so don’t forget to stop and sip coffee with a view.

Stunning view with an absolutely amazing pass road up to the top. Took a motorbike and drove the pass all the way to the top and down to the beach. At the top they offer some drinks, coffee and even food for fair prices compared to other tourist hit spots. It wasn’t very busy and the view post offers some nice information about the history and its usage in the past.

Visit this when teavelling from Hue to Da nang. It took just 1.5 hours and be number 3 spot visited after Lang Co lagoon and Lang Co beach. The Hải Vân Pass (Vietnamese: Đèo Hải Vân, IPA: [ɗɛ̂w ha᷉ːj vən], 'ocean cloud pass'), is an approximately 21-kilometre (13 mi) long mountain pass on National Route 1 in Vietnam. It traverses a spur of the larger Annamite Range that juts into the South China Sea on the border of Đà Nẵng and Huế, near Bạch Mã National Park. Its name refers to the mists that rise from the sea, reducing visibility. Historically, the pass was a physical division between the kingdoms of Champa and Đại Việt from 1306 until Vietnamese invasion war in 1471.

Able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Danang and the surrounding. Very windy and cool at Hai Van and good spot to have a sip of coffee here
