Hai Van Pass

Hai Van Pass is 20km long and lies between the borders of Thua Thien Hue Province and Da Nang City within the Truong Son Range. At an elevation of nearly 500 meters above sea level, Hai Van Pass is renowned as the most beautiful and also the most treacherous mountain pass in Vietnam.

To the south of the pass, looking down from above, Da Nang City emerges modern and magnificent with its high-rise buildings nestled along the soft blue coastline, shining like a jewel on the East Sea.

To the north of the pass, in Thua Thien Hue Province, Lap An Lagoon and the fishing village of Lang Co, create a distinctly peaceful scene. The well-maintained houses with new tiles reflect on the deep blue sea, while pristine white sand dunes stretch endlessly, and in the distance, mountain ranges covered in white clouds rise majestically.

High in the sky, the bridge leading to the Hai Van Tunnel cuts straight into the mountain’s heart. Together, these elements form a picturesque landscape that leaves visitors in silent admiration.

Lap An Lagoon

This is the largest brackish lagoon in Hue with an area of up to 800 hectares located under the Hai Van Pass foot. It is about 60km from Hue city center and 40km from Da Nang.

Lap An Lagoon has a wild but no less poetic natural beauty. There is a small fishing village with the local daily lives at oyster farms, small fishing boats, and huge fishing nets. You can step your feet on the white sandy path in the middle of the lagoon to hunt unique photos or sit in a cafeteria by the lagoon to admire the calm beauty of the lagoon.

Long Hung Church

Going to the South of town down Highway 1A towards Hue, you will get to Long Hung Church. A catholic church was built in 1955 using reinforced concrete which is evidence of the damage incurred in 1972 still exists today.

It stands as evidence of the strength and bravery shown against the South Vietnamese and American forces. In 81 days the North Vietnamese force held the church while the American forces fought to get it back with grenades, machine guns, and even rockets from warships.

Hien Luong Bridge

Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River are located in the group of relics along the banks of Hien Luong at the junction of National Road 1A and Ben Hai River.

Hien Luong Bridge, spanning the Ben Hai River, is a powerful symbol of Vietnam’s division and reunification, marking the former boundary between North and South Vietnam. The river’s tranquil flow belies its historical significance, where families once stood separated by the bridge, yearning for reunion.

Nowadays, the bridge and surrounding area serve as a poignant reminder of the country’s turbulent past and the enduring spirit of its people, attracting visitors who come to honor and reflect on its history.

Doc Mieu Firebase

The former American base, located in the East of Highway 1A, Doc Mieu military base is located in Gio Phong- Gio Linh commune, about 7 km South of Hien Luong Bridge.

Doc Mieu Firebase, once a key strategic point during the Vietnam War, now stands as a poignant historical site near the demilitarized zone. Perched on a hilltop, it offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, a silent witness to the intense battles that once raged here. Nowadays, visitors can explore the remnants of bunkers and artillery positions, reflecting on the site’s turbulent past amid the peaceful rural setting.

Vinh Moc Tunnels

The Vinh Moc Tunnels, situated in the rugged terrain near the former Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Vietnam, stand as a remarkable testament to human resilience in the face of conflict. Dug by hand into the soft clay soil, these tunnels served as a sanctuary for hundreds of Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1972.

Unlike the Cu Chi Tunnels near Saigon, Vinh Moc was primarily a shelter for families, featuring wider passages and deeper chambers to accommodate daily life activities. Visitors today can explore the maze-like network, experiencing firsthand the cramped living conditions and marveling at the resourcefulness of those who called it home.

To make sure that hundreds of people can eat, and live safely and conveniently, along the tunnels, a lot of houses are built, and each family house has enough space for 3 to 4 people. Inside the tunnel, there are three freshwater wells, a meeting room (with a capacity of 50 people), a clinic, a maternity home, a telephone station, surgery, a Hoang Cam kitchen, rice storage, etc.

The tunnels offer a somber reminder of the hardships endured by ordinary people caught in the crossfire of war, yet they also inspire awe at the human spirit’s ability to persevere even in the darkest of times.

After all, our experienced driver will transfer you back safely to your hotel/homestay in Hoi An. Best Hue City Tour Travel hope you have a great Hoi An To DMZ by private car with us.
