Hai Van Pass.
Made popular by BBC’s Top Gear programme back in 2008.
It’s a beautiful coastal drive with great photo opps.
A typical ride as a loop out of Hoi An is about 200km and 8 hours with regular stops.
The market at the top is at just over 400 meters altitude but from the Hoi An side you’ll do 7.5km on the road and 9.5km on the Northern side through switchbacks and climbs/declines of up to 11%.
Our usual itinerary is a swim at Dream Waterfalls at Lang Co, a beach run (depending on the time of year), lunch on the beach then head South with a stop at the market at the top of Hai Van Pass, “Hanging Rock”, fishing fleet and then drive back along the Han River in Da Nang.

Tra Que vegetable village was set up on a small island over 300 years ago and takes its name from a King.
It’s located on the main road between Ancient Town and An Bang beach and is famous for quality organic vegetables and herbs.
Take a look at the rich soil in the gardens and you’ll see what centuries of seaweed application to the local sand can do.
It’s peaceful, crowd-free and with the beautiful working gardens to view you can easily spend ours hhere getting around by foot or bicycle.
There are some great restaurants here along with a number of cooking classes and my wife and I have relocated our top-rated business, Heaven Garden Spa, to Tra Que late last year.
On Sunday the local speakers were busy and they were loud and the message was, simply, time to clean up because the tourists are coming back soon.
Well, nothing has been easy over the last couple of years so I'm not making any predictions, but hope to be able to welcome you to our beautiful corner of the world sometime soon.

Guys, we need to talk!
Double dipping and 3 times a charm!
In Vietnam women’s day is celebrated twice a year.
National Women's Day is on October 20th.
International Women's Day is today (March 8th).
If you’re a mum then throw Mother’s Day in the mix, plus a birthday, and you’re cracking it for 4 (FOUR!) special days a year!
Each one of these days means flowers.
So, that means 4(FOUR!) big bunches of flowers a year!
Chocolates and stuffed toys get a look in as well.
Valentine’s Day makes it 5 (FIVE!), by my reckoning!
Do you think that International men’s day is on the radar?
Not a chance!
But I jest.
Apart from celebrating women’s economic, political and social achievements, people here also celebrate love and beauty.
Today is a day where Vietnamese society shows their love and respect for Vietnamese women, who receive flowers and gifts from lovers, husbands and male friends.
