 Hai Van Quan, a national historical relic and tourist attraction that wears the faded color of time, is a red brick border gate between Danang City and Thua Thien-Hue Province on Hai Van Pass.
The pass is 23.5 kilometers and about 500 meters above sea level. People trek up the gravel path covered by wild flowers to the peak of Hai Van Pass to contemplate the splendid mountains and forests and Lang Co Fishing Village, Danang City and Hue in the distance. The site is known for the ocean mist that rises up to the low flying clouds. Hai Van Quan was built under the Minh Mang Dynasty in the nineteenth century. The work is about ten meters high and has a floor for tourists to capture the breathtaking scenery below. Young people sometimes pitch a tent here and camp overnight. On the peak of the pass, tourists can also buy many souvenirs. Source: VNN |
