Best Motorbike Routes to Hue from Da Nang Hoi An 

Route 1 – Highway 1A

Highway 1A is the most popular tourist trail to go from Da Nang Hoi An to Hue because it runs along the coast. It means that visitors will see pretty beaches, sea views, and other natural things. 

Here is the direction:

– From everywhere in Da Nang, find the quickest way to Nguyen Tat Thanh Road. This wide road runs along the coastline of Da Nang Bay, and provides the view to Son Tra Mountain or Monkey Mountain, Son Cha Island, and cloudy Bach Ma mountain range (where Hai Van Pass is located).

– Follow Nguyen Tat Thanh Road (westwards) until the end – Nguyen Luong Bang crossroad (near the railway track). Visitors will go pass by Xuan Thieu Beach, Nam O Beach, Mikazuki Waterpark, and under Mikazuki Pedestrian Overpass.

– Turn right and go straight (following Nguyen Luong Bang Road). Before see Hai Van Pass, visitors will go cross Nam O Bridge over the estuary of Cu De River. There’re many hanging fishing nets in this area to see/photograph.

– Ride up to Hai Van Pass (20 kilometers). This is one of the most scenic coastal route, famous for spectacular mountain-to-sea views and hairpin turns. Here are recommended stops:

Spot 1: Lang Co Bay Viewpoint (see more information)

*visitors often spend 15 minutes here.

Spot 2: Hai Van Gate on the top of Hai Van Pass (see more information)

*visitors often spend 30-45 minutes here if like to sightsee the old fortress, and 30 minutes if just like getting a coffee with a view.

Spot 3: Turtle Rock (see more information)

*visitors often spend 15 minutes here, and longer if have a coffee with a view or take photos.

– After go under the massive bridges, go straight and at Trinh To Tam crossroad (16°13’20.7″N 108°04’59.1″E on Google maps), turn left to enter Trinh To Tam Road. 

– Follow Trinh To Tam Road (on the waterside of Lap An Lagoon) until the end (16°15’45.7″N 108°02’38.9″E on Google maps). This route is more peaceful than Highway 1A which runs through Lang Co town due to much less traffic. Along it, possible to see numerous oyster farms and meet farmers who collect or process fresh oysters, and the trains going pass by if lucky.

– Go through Phu Gia Pass (Deo Phu Gia). This mountain pass is 2.5km long, and it ends at Highway 1A.

*Visitors can choose going through the Phu Gia Tunnel if like to skip the pass route.

– Follow Highway 1A (go west wards). On both sides of this route, visitors can see lots of essential oil shops and distelleries. The specialty product of the area is the one made of local cajeput leaves.  

– At this point on Google maps 16°15’45.7″N 108°02’38.9″E, can find the entrance of Phuoc Tuong Pass on the right.

– Go through Phuoc Tuong Pass (Deo Phuoc Tuong). This mountain pass is 4km long, and it ends at Highway 1A.

*Visitors can choose going through the Phoc Tuong Tunnel if like to skip the pass route.

– Follow Highway 1A to reach Hue city center. After Phu Loc town, can see a small portion of Cau Hai Lagoon, the part of the Tam Giang Cau – Hai Lagoon System that is biggest in South East Asia.

*If still have time and energy, we recommend going to Thanh Toan Bridge. It’s a historic, covered pedestrian bridge located in the countryside, built in the late 18th century. Constructed with traditional tile roofing and wooden architecture, it is celebrated for its unique artistic value and as a cultural landmark commissioned by a member of the royal family.
