A daredevil's ride up Hai Van Pass, Da Nang

Winding roads and heart-stopping U-turns, intimidating cliffs and single-lane loops. These are what you'll experience riding up and down the legendary Hai Van Pass. The Hai Van Pass is a dragon-shaped 21km stretch of road through the mountains, connecting Da Nang to Lang Co. It takes travellers through the Annamite Range that protrudes into the sea. Throughout the 1-hour ride, there is no shortage of stunning views of the surrounding mountains and coastline. From central Da Nang, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the start of Hai Van Pass. Expect a long but scenic ride before you reach Deo Hai Van, a beautiful, old fortress/tower. Unfortunately as of Jan 2023 it is still under conservation work. If you have the time, continue on and you'll reach Lang Co, a town famous for fresh seafood. Expect corners with a steep drop down and lots of thrilling sharp turns - perfect for daredevils. Tips for conquering the Hai Van Pass: 1. Do NOT attempt if you have no motorcycling experience/confidence. Hire a private driver. 2. Always slow down when approaching sharp corners and blind spots. 3. Stay alert for hazards such as roadworks and sand. 4. Wear a sunglass or riding goggles.
