The journey

“Three centuries in a hundred kilometres.”

A short, dense triangle linking three UNESCO World Heritage sites — the imperial capital of Huế, the lantern-lit trading port of Hội An, and the Cham temple ruins of Mỹ Sơn — over the scenic Hải Vân Pass.

The route

Along the route

  1. 01

    Huế

    Imperial Citadel, royal tombs and the Perfume River.

  2. 02

    Hải Vân Pass

    The country's most cinematic coastal road.

  3. 03

    Hội An

    Ancient Town — lanterns brightest on the full-moon night.

  4. 04

    Mỹ Sơn

    Cham brick sanctuaries — go early before the heat.

People and traditions

Three layers of history meet here: the Nguyễn dynasty's imperial court at Huế, the Cham brick civilisation at Mỹ Sơn, and Hội An's centuries-old merchant guilds of tailors and lantern-makers.

What to eat

Central kitchens: bún bò Huế, cao lầu, mì Quảng, bánh bèo and Hội An's white-rose dumplings.

Safety

Know before you go

⚠

Time the rains

Central Vietnam's rainy months (roughly Sep–Dec) can bring flooding to Hội An's old town. Aim for Feb–Aug.

⚠

Full-moon lantern night

On the 14th of each lunar month Hội An dims its lights for the lantern festival — book accommodation ahead.

⚠

Cross the pass by day

Hải Vân's views are wasted in fog or dark. Ride it mid-morning; the train tunnel is the wet-weather backup.
