Your driver will collect you from your hotel in Hue. You’ll travel south along the serene coastal road (QL49B), a less-frequented path that offers breathtaking views of the countryside and sea.

• An Bang Cemetery is renowned as one of the most unique cemeteries globally, famous for its intricate, colorful mausoleums designed in imperial and Buddhist styles. Often referred to as the “City of Ghosts,” it showcases Vietnam’s profound spiritual culture and the impact of overseas Vietnamese sending funds home to construct these family tombs. This surreal and photogenic location is an excellent start to your journey.

• Lap An Lagoon is a tranquil and picturesque brackish lagoon encircled by mountains and sea. On calm days, it mirrors the sky like a vast mirror — an ideal photo opportunity. You can also enjoy a quick coffee or sample fresh oysters, a local delicacy.

• Lang Co Beach features soft white sands, clear blue waters, and gentle waves. It’s a perfect spot to stretch your legs, enjoy the sea breeze, and capture some seaside photos before ascending Hai Van Pass.

• Made famous by BBC’s Top Gear, Hai Van Pass is one of Southeast Asia’s most dramatic coastal roads. Pause at the summit for panoramic views, old French bunkers, and the Hai Van Gate, the historic divide between northern and southern Vietnam. It’s an exhilarating drive — a highlight of the day.

• Linh Ung Pagoda on Monkey Mountain is renowned for its 67-meter-tall Lady Buddha statue, the tallest in Vietnam. The pagoda is perched on a hill overlooking the ocean and Da Nang city. It’s a serene spiritual stop with beautiful gardens, ocean breezes, and an iconic view.

• Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) consist of five marble and limestone hills named after the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. You can climb Thuy Son, the largest peak, to explore ancient pagodas, Buddhist caves, and viewpoints.

After a day of sightseeing, you’ll arrive in Hoi An Ancient Town, just in time to check into your hotel. We conclude the private car journey from Hue to Hoi An via the City of Ghosts and Monkey Mountain. We wish you a wonderful day trip with us!
