Da Nang to Dong Hoi Highlights
Hai Van Pass
If you enjoy sightseeing and taking photos, Hai Van Pass is a must-see stop on the journey from Da Nang to Dong Hoi by private car.
Known as the “Ocean Cloud Pass,” this scenic mountain road stretches 21 kilometers along National Highway 1A. It winds through the Truong Son mountain range, reaching out to the East Sea and forming a natural border between Da Nang and Thua Thien–Hue Province, near Bach Ma National Park. With its panoramic views and historical significance, Hai Van Pass once marked the boundary between the ancient Champa and Dai Viet kingdoms in 1306.
Lang Co Bay
La Vang Church
La Vang Holy Land, located in Quang Tri Province, lies approximately 55 kilometers north of Hue. The construction of La Vang Church followed the apparition of Our Lady, sanctifying the land as holy. This sacred site hosts the yearly pilgrimage for Catholics across Vietnam.
Hien Luong Bridge– Ben Hai River
Last but not least on the journey from Da Nang to Dong Hoi is the Hien Luong Bridge, a powerful symbol of Vietnam’s unity and resilience.
Spanning the Ben Hai River in central Vietnam, the bridge marks the historic 17th Parallel, where the country was divided into North and South after the 1954 Geneva Agreement. This agreement ended French colonial rule in Indochina, but it also led to a painful separation that lasted for over 20 years. Throughout this period, the Hien Luong Bridge stood as a silent witness to the nation’s long and difficult struggle for reunification.
Vinh Moc Tunnels (upon request +10 USD)
The Vinh Moc Tunnels are one of 114 tunnels, large and small, dug throughout the Vinh Linh district. However, this is the most typical construction compared to the 114 tunnels. The Vinh Moc Tunnels not only served as safe shelters for hundreds of people but also acted as crucial transfer stations for food and weapons to Con Co Island and the battlefields of the South.
The entire Vinh Moc Tunnels are divided into 3 levels and are interconnected through a main axis measuring 870m in length. The total length of the tunnel village is 1,701m, comprising 13 entrances/exits (including 6 exits leading to the hilltops and 7 exits opening towards the sea) and 3 air vents.
After visiting all the places above, our English-speaking driver will transfer you to your hotel/ homestay in Dong Hoi. We finish the Da Nang to Dong Hoi private car. Best Hue City Tour Travel wishes you a great day with us.
