DON CA ARCH BRIDGE - Hue
Intro - Don Ca arch bridge is located modestly at the foot of Hai Van pass, surrounded by the green color of wild mountains. Unlike other Hue tourist destinations, this ancient bridge is completely separate from the noisy atmosphere in the city, making anyone who comes here does not want to leave.
Getting There - Don Ca arch bridge is located on the Hai Van railway line, which is the natural boundary between Da Nang and Hue. Without the hustle and bustle of people, the ancient bridge, over a century old, is embraced by the green of the mountains and forests, making the space more peaceful and quiet. Although located next to the ruins of Don Ca and Bac Hai Van station, this place is less known because of the difficult road and difficult location to find.
Highlights - Don Ca arch bridge is located on Hai Van pass, this pass is the separation between the tropical climate in the South and the temperate climate in the North. That is why when you come to Hai Van pass, you will admire the impressive natural scenery running along the way.
Especially to mention Don Ca arch bridge, surely you will be stunned by the beautiful scene like a movie when coming here. Around the bridge is a lush green forest, fresh air and murmuring streams, rustling leaves and chirping birds create a colorful natural symphony.
At the foot of the bridge, there is a small stream with many large rocks, which is a unique background for you to save beautiful photos in the wild natural scenery, majestic mountains and forests.

A daredevil's ride up Hai Van Pass, Da Nang
Winding roads and heart-stopping U-turns, intimidating cliffs and single-lane loops. These are what you'll experience riding up and down the legendary Hai Van Pass.
The Hai Van Pass is a dragon-shaped 21km stretch of road through the mountains, connecting Da Nang to Lang Co. It takes travellers through the Annamite Range that protrudes into the sea. Throughout the 1-hour ride, there is no shortage of stunning views of the surrounding mountains and coastline.
From central Da Nang, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the start of Hai Van Pass. Expect a long but scenic ride before you reach Deo Hai Van, a beautiful, old fortress/tower. Unfortunately as of Jan 2023 it is still under conservation work. If you have the time, continue on and you'll reach Lang Co, a town famous for fresh seafood. Expect corners with a steep drop down and lots of thrilling sharp turns - perfect for daredevils.
Tips for conquering the Hai Van Pass:
1. Do NOT attempt if you have no motorcycling experience/confidence. Hire a private driver.
2. Always slow down when approaching sharp corners and blind spots.
3. Stay alert for hazards such as roadworks and sand.
4. Wear a sunglass or riding goggles.
Address: Highway 1 between Thua Thien - Hue province and Danang City

A unique Dragon Structure in Vietnam
Hồ Thủy Tiên (Thuy Tien Lake) is a smallish natural lake located about 8km south of Hue’s Imperial City. An old entertainment complex that nowadays is abandoned.
Here you can find the famous dragon structure.
The park is currently open and unattended – we had no trouble moving around as we wished. You can even climb a staircase to the top of the dragon’s head.
The entrance fee is around 1$ each, no proper tickets are given, since is not a legal activity. The guard that should take care of the area accepts 1$ to let you visit the dragon. #Vietnam #hue
The most Creepy Park in Vietnam 😱
#vietnamtrip
Thuy Tien Lake Water Park or well-known as Hue Abandoned Water Park is located at Thien An Hill, about 7km from city center of Hue, Vietnam 🇻🇳
It is one most of the mysterious abandoned park in Southeast Asia that attracted thousands of international tourists especially from western countries for exploration of its creepy beauty.
The giant magnificent dragon sculpture is an iconic symbol of Hue Abandoned Water Park. When I walk inside to the dragon via the bridge walkaway, I feel like it is the scenes of Stephen King’s movie, its so horror & scares.
Walk cautiously inside the dragon because there are breaking glass on the ground. The graffiti walls inside the dragon made the atmosphere even more darkness.

The Tomb of The 12th Emperor!
#celebratewithtrip
Khai Dinh Tomb is a part of the Complex of Hue Monuments, recognized as World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. It is located in Chau Chu Mountain about 10km away from Hue City, Vietnam. It is the burial place of the 12th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. It is the longest built, most expensive, most sophisticated and the strangest of all 7 royal tombs in Hue. This historical attraction is accessible by every vehicle. We rented a motorbike going there since it is the most convenient and cheaper way in Vietnam. The weather was chilly which was comfortable to explore Hue City. It is one of the most interesting cities in Vietnam in terms of culture and traditions.
