via Vietnam Express, 21 July 2024: Hai Van Gate, located at the peak of Hai Van Pass in central Vietnam, has undergone a three-year renovation costing over VND42 billion. This historic site, nearly 200 years old and recognized as a national relic, now awaits visitors as it nears completion. Efforts are ongoing to resolve management plans between Da Nang City and Thua Thien Hue Province to open the site to the public by the third quarter of 2024.
Located at the peak of Hai Van Pass in central Vietnam, Hai Van Gate serves as the administrative boundary between Da Nang City and Thua Thien Hue Province, marking a natural division in climate and culture between the two regions. In 2017, it was recognized as a national relic by Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
Hai Van Gate is nearly 200 years old, and once damaged. Now it has been transformed through a renovation costing over VND42 billion (around $1.6 million), funded by Da Nang and Thua Thien Hue.
Thua Thien Hue, with its expertise in heritage restoration, led the project. The project completed the main components in early 2024.
