Thua Thien Hue and Da Nang city authorities are urgently completing the restoration work of the Hai Van Gate - a national monument - to welcome visitors in 2023.
Restoration activities began at the end of 2021 with a budget of more than 42 billion VND. Up to now, important sections of the construction have been completed such as Hai Van Gate, residence house, warehouse, fortresses, stone walls, and passageways.
Hai Van Gate is known as "world’s most majestic gate", located at an altitude of nearly 500m right at the top of Hai Van Pass. Once served as the military defense for the Hue Citadel, this defensive cluster was built under the Nguyen Dynasty in such a critical position to control the North-South road and Da Nang Bay.
After the war, the monument was abandoned for many years and severely degraded. Before the restoration, it had been the favorite attraction of many domestic and foreign tourists.
