Description
The Hai Van Pass, meaning 'ocean cloud pass' is an approximately 21 km long mountain pass on National Highway A1 north of Danang that traverses a spur of the Annamite Range that juts into the South China Sea. It is described as 'a deserted ribbon of perfection'. Its summit is 1,627-ft above sea level.
The Hai Van Pass has been of major strategic importance in the history of Vietnam and for a long time represented a major barrier to any land army that attempted to move between the Northern and Central regions of the country.
The pass once formed the boundary between the kingdoms of Dai Viet and Champa.
The pass was of strategic importance during the French-Indochinese War of the 1950's and again during the Vietnam War of the 1960's and 1970's.
This view is from the summit in a southeasterly direction toward Danang.
