Da Nang And Phong Nha Recommended Sightseeing Stops
One of the biggest advantages of traveling by private car is the ability to customize your itinerary and stop at attractions that interest you.
Hai Van Pass
Known as one of the most scenic coastal mountain roads in Vietnam, Hai Van Pass offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Ocean, mountains, and coastline. This iconic route was made famous by Top Gear and remains a favorite stop for photographers and travelers.
Lang Co Beach
Located at the foot of Hai Van Pass, Lang Co Beach is famous for its white sand, turquoise waters, and peaceful atmosphere. It is an excellent place to stretch your legs and take beautiful photographs.
Lap An Lagoon
Lap An Lagoon is a picturesque brackish-water lagoon surrounded by mountains. The peaceful scenery and local oyster farms create a unique landscape that attracts visitors throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee, fresh seafood, and beautiful views of the lagoon while observing the daily life of local fishermen.
La Vang Holy Land
La Vang Holy Land is one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in Vietnam, attracting millions of visitors and worshippers each year. According to local tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared here in 1798 to comfort and support persecuted Catholics seeking refuge in the area. Today, the sanctuary features impressive religious architecture, peaceful gardens, and the iconic Basilica of Our Lady of La Vang. Its spiritual significance, rich history, and tranquil atmosphere make it a meaningful stop for both pilgrims and travelers exploring Central Vietnam.
Hien Luong Bridge And Ben Hai River
Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River are among the most significant historical landmarks in Vietnam, located on the former Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Following the Geneva Accords of 1954, the Ben Hai River temporarily marked the division between North and South Vietnam, with Hien Luong Bridge connecting the two sides. For more than two decades, the bridge became a powerful symbol of separation, conflict, and the nation’s longing for reunification. Today, the site stands as a reminder of Vietnam’s turbulent past and its journey toward peace and unity.
Vinh Moc Tunnels (additional fee)
Vinh Moc Tunnels are part of an extensive underground network built during the Vietnam War to protect local residents from heavy bombardment. What began as simple bomb shelters gradually developed into a fully functioning underground village with living quarters, kitchens, and medical stations. Thousands of people lived and worked beneath the ground until 1972. Today, the tunnels stand as a remarkable symbol of the resilience and determination of the Vietnamese people.
