Spectacular Hai Van Pass

      The Hai Van Pass was featured on the BBC motoring programme Top Gear on December 28, 2008 as part of its Vietnam Special. Nguyen Quy Duong shared some moments from his time on the pass.
Hai Van Pass is a mountain pass on National Road 1A in Vietnam. The pass is located on the border of Da Nang and Thua Thien-Hue province, near Bach Ma National Park.
Translated into English, Hai Van means "ocean clouds", and thus the pass is known for its misty vapors rising from the sea, reducing visibility. The tortuous road on the pass was long a challenge for Vietnamese motorists, but nowadays, since the completion of the Hai Van Tunnel, traffic flow has been facilitated.
