More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine clicks to life and the coastal wind grabs at your hat as the open-top US Jeep eases out of Hue, heading south toward the spine of Vietnam’s central coast. You climb toward Hai Van Pass—about 490–500 meters at its high point—where switchbacks reveal sudden views of blue sea, rocky headlands and the thin ribbon of the ocean road below. The vehicle’s roll bar frames each vista; the driver, a local who speaks English, points out landmarks and local stories between stretches of comfortable silence.
