The peaceful beauty of the forgotten ‘gate of heaven’ at the foot of Hai Van pass

This place is located at the foot of Hai Van Pass, bordering the two provinces of Hue and Da Nang.
Connecting between the modern and dynamic tourist city of Da Nang and the ancient and contemplative nature of Hue is the Hai Van Pass. In this place, there is still a vestige of time, a connecting place between the present and the past, which is the Don Ca Arch Bridge.

Don Ca arch bridge is located in the boundary between Da Nang and Hue, next to the monuments of Don Ca and Bai Bac Station, also known as Hai Van Bac station. This train station is a stopover for the North-South railway, connecting Hue’s Lang Co station with Da Nang’s Hai Van station.

This bridge is located across the pass, at the foot is a gently flowing stream. Surrounding the arch bridge is surrounded by majestic mountains and forests, the green color of nature makes the stone pillars stand out in a corner of the sky.

A few scattered houses on both sides of the road, the rows of green trees stretching along the winding track will make you want to immerse yourself forever in that fairy world.

It is the design of that dome bridge that many people associate them with the shape of the gates in heaven, so this place is also fondly called “heaven’s gate”. About every 30 minutes, a red and blue train crosses the bridge once. If you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to see this very interesting scene.

The soft stream crosses the bridge like a soft silk embracing the sleeping princess. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet)
