Coastal Drive from Hue to Hoi An via Springs, Lagoons, and Beaches
The driver will pick you up in Hue city centre and depart for Hoi An. On the way from Hue to Hoi An, you will stop to visit several scenic and cultural attractions.
The Elephant Springs, about 53 kilometres from Hue, is an excellent natural spring that is well worth a visit. Especially on a hot day, the natural pool below a small waterfall offers a very refreshing dip. You can slide down the smooth rocks at the base of the falls, and there are plenty more spots upstream to explore.
Lap An Lagoon is a brackish water area covering more than 800 hectares in the west of Lang Co Bay, stretching from the foot of Phu Gia Pass to Hai Van Estuary. A winding small road surrounds the lagoon, and in the distance stands the majestic Bach Ma mountain.
The long white-sand beach and blue seawater of Lang Co can capture every visitor's heart at first sight. Visiting Lang Co Bay at sunset, you may feel nostalgic as you see a peaceful fishing village, a boat sailing on Lap An Lagoon near Lang Co Bay, and flocks of storks flying back to their nests.
The Hai Van Pass is an approximately 21-kilometre mountain pass on National Route 1A in Vietnam. It crosses a spur of the larger Annamite Range that juts into the South China Sea, on the border of Da Nang.
The Marble Mountains are a cluster of five marble and limestone hills located in Ngu Hanh Son, south of Da Nang city in Vietnam. The five mountains are named after the five elements: Kim (metal), Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire), and Tho (earth).
All of the mountains have cave entrances and numerous tunnels, and it is possible to climb to the summit of Mt. Thuy. Several Buddhist sanctuaries can also be found within the mountains, making this a famous tourist destination. The area is also well known for stone sculpture making and stone-cutting crafts.
My Khe Beach, with a coastline stretching 35 kilometres from Hai Van Pass to Non Nuoc, is part of Da Nang, one of Vietnam's most beautiful coastal cities. Close to the city centre, about 5 kilometres away, My Khe is the common name for the 10-kilometre coastline running from the base of the Son Tra Peninsula to the Marble Mountains.
