The Hai Van Pass, also known as Ai Van and May passes, lies at the geographical boundary between Da Nang and Thua Thien Hue Province.  Located at around 500m above sea level, the pass is 20km in length, traversing a spur of the larger Annamite Range that juts into the East Sea.

Here are some stunning photos of the Pass captured by Thuc Nhan, a freelancer from the DA NANG Newspaper.

Conquering the pass is a challenging but interesting experience which young adventurers, especially experienced bikers, really enjoy

The Gate was officially recognised as a national relic site featuring profound historical, architectural and artistic values by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2017
