The Hai Van Pass
The drive between Hoi An and Hue is one of the finest in Vietnam and fans of the BBC's 'Top Gear' may already be familiar with it (think three men-children on motorbikes, one with a model Spanish galleon strapped to the back, driving down a meandering mountain road towards one of the most picturesque fishing villages on the planet).
The Hai Van, or Ocean Cloud, Pass winds its way over the top of the Truong Mountain Range, dropping down to the wonderfully photogenic fishing village of Lang Co on the Hue side. The road to Hue then continues to keep you enthralled as you pass mile after mile of undeveloped beach, passing through villages and at times driving alongside the tracks of the famous Reunification Railway.
