View from the Hai Van Pass

As the pass was covered in clouds I couldn't make any photos from the pass top. The pass also called ocean clouds pass and we'd a direct feeling to the clouds on its top.
Now there is constructed a tunnel through the mountain and its not necessary anymore to go over the pass.
Hai Van Pass in Vietnamese: ?èo H?i Vân, is a mountain pass on National Road 1A in Vietnam. It traverses a spur of the larger Annamite Range that parallels the South China Sea. The pass is located on the border of Danang and Th?a Thiên-Hu? 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. Historically, the pass has long been an obstacle on the north-south road of Vietnam and was an physical division between the Kingdom of Champa and Dai Viet. The twisting road on the pass has long been a challenge for many Vietnamese drivers but nowadays, since the completion of Hai Van Tunnel, the traffic flow has been facilitated.

    Ich erinnere mich dass ich oben auf dem Pass stand, alles Wolken und Wind und ich habe gefroren, es war bitter kalt. Später dann und wesentlich tiefer und wärmer ein fantastischer Ausblick auf die Lagune von Lang Co.
