A warm sea breeze meets diesel and engine chatter at Chan May Port as your private vehicle rolls away from the quay. The road climbs, and the ocean drops away—Hai Van Pass unspools in hairpin turns, the mountains holding the coastline like a long, watchful hand. From the pass you’ll look down on Da Nang’s sweep and the Son Tra Peninsula, where jungle pushes toward the sea and the Lady Buddha watches the city’s edge.
