I've done the hai van pass a couple of times simply because I'm an avid top gear fan and it definitely didn't disappoint, no video can really do it justice

There are so many amazing coastal roads in Vietnam. Hai Van is popular because most tourist are only in Da Nang for a few days. So it is a quick & easy ride to do. Wait until you do the North side, amazing rides there.

While I visited Vietnam in January 2020 I stayed in DaNang as a base but actually visited Hue and Phu Bai which were places that I served while in the US Army 101st Airborne Division. Because I visited those areas looking for certain things from my time while serving, I drove the Hai Van Pass 4 times round trip. It is one of the most fun rides that I have had because of the elevation and also the views of the coast are unbelievable. Seeing those pristine beaches were awe inspiring. Nice job again Gabi.

Beautifully described! Thinking for Da Nang after 10 days 👍🏻

It’s funny now that it’s a tourist attraction. When I lived in vietnam as a child, I kept hearing people talked about how dangerous it was because of the narrow roads. Hai Van Pass or đèo Hải Vân as we call it felt so dangerous to me as a child but now it looks so beautiful. Hải = ocean. Vân = clouds. You’re so high up that you can almost “touch” the clouds.

yeah, only seeing 1 side is the ocean and 1 side is the cloud at the same time :) that is what I had experienced

Great video! Brings back memories. I did the same in 2019. After crossing the mountain I drove around the lake and went back to Da Nang and chill at the beach. Good luck with your travels!

Hai Vân pass have a nice views of sea & mountains but 4 Top Great Pass of Việt Nam is Khau Pha, Ma Pi Leng, O Quy Ho, Phadin all in Northern.

Thanks for sharing…my dream is to do the Mae Hong Son Loop in Thailand. I have been on pieces of it and I’ve stayed in Mae Hong Son several times but I hear the whole journey is the best.

Based upon the videos you showed, I agree with you that the coastal road you showed on previous episodes were prettier...I mean, the Hai Van Pass is beautiful, but I love the clips you showed of different types of rocks, sand dunes, etc.

I like the great sceneries of Vietnam in this video as well as the useful explanation.😀👍👍

Hi Gabi, we loved the Hai Van Pass. Will you also be doing the Ha Giang Loop?

Love your vlog Gabbi. For your Vietnam second round, can I suggest you 2 destinations Ha Giang loop, and Ô Quy Hồ pass(Lai Châu province, not much tourist know this, this one is the highest, longest(over 50km)and the most dangerous pass in VietNam). Take your own risk, you are gonna pay off

Amazing coastal roads near Nha Trang or in Ninh Thuan are part of a newly developed major plan of coastal highway throughout Vietnam. At the time when Hai Van pass was streamed on Topgear, it was the only coastal road in Vietnam.

Great video! Thanks

Looking forward to when you visit again and do Da Nang to The North. I'll be here to advise you once you reach Ninh Binh as I'm doing a 30day loop of the North in September :)

It was more famous many years ago i.e. before 1975. It was death defying to go through the pass.

Nice road ... like you said you've been on other like this

Another striking feature, absence of damaged or 15+ year old vehicles. Compared to richer Saudi Arabia ...

Great Man ohh

Ha Giang Loop in northern Vietnam is much scenic Gabi. You will see it for yourself if you keep go north.

@@ridewithgabi Vietnamese people as well as Vietnamese police are very friendly with foreign tourists. Vietnamese police rarely (almost never) arrest foreign tourists if you go by motorbike. If you don't have a motorbike license when the police arrest you, you can ask them to let you go if you speak Vietnamese.

According to WHO there were almost 30.000 fatalities (29,81 per 100.000) on the roads in Vietnam in 2020 making it only slightly safer than Thailand with around 22.500 (30,48 per 100.000). In comparison the rate in Italy was 4,13 per 100.000

I might do that when I go to Danang, what happens to you motorbike if you flying to Saigon?

Was there fifty three years ago today.

I think between those two channels, they covered a lot, but they still missed a few gems that other youtubers found. Hope you find all the hidden goodies when you do your trip there later this year.

@@ridewithgabi you should have started from the North. The South is mostly flat and doesn’t have dramatic scenery. The South is famous for beaches (Phu Quoc), river life (Mekong delta), sand dunes. The North is famous for dramatic mountains, caves, massive rivers and lakes. If you start from the North, you head South you can relax on the beach, it makes more sense than the other way around as people tend to get lazier towards the end of the trip

Does anyone know how difficult it is to do the trip from DaNang to Hue (via Hai Van Pass) by bicycle? Am heading to DaNang late November (I realize it is the rainy season) and wonder if it would even be possible at that time (early December). Also, how hard is it to rent a decent bike in DaNang and is it easy to get a bike back from Hue to DaNang via public transportation (I'd only want to bike one way). Have been searching the net, but can't find much information about doing this trip by bicycle... only by motorbike. Thanks for any information.

Not to caves in dang nang is so beautiful dare

Did it back in 2018, 100% worth it.. even if it did tain abit 😅
