Ba Na Hill Station and Hai Van Pass Two of my goals while in Danang were to visit the Ba Na Hill Station and Hai Van Pass. Ba Na was founded in 1919 by the French Colonial Government. It was suppose to be the “Dalat of Danang.” The reason: It is cool. When it is 36 degrees C on the coast it might be between 15 and 26 degrees C at Mt. Ba Na.

This is my 12 visit to Vietnam My current mission in Vietnam is going to the home villages of all my neices and nephews that have helped me in Vietnam In 2005 I biked from Hanoi to Saigon. Probably the greatest trip I ever experienced. I look forward to returning to Vietnam and enjoying the people and land of Vietnam. I will be staying with my former Rotary Exchange Student Trang and her husband Huan and daughter Sarah. I keep a bike at Trang's house and will be biking around Saigon on short trips. The cover photo is me biking the Red River Islands near Hanoi.... full info

stationed @ hai van pass 67-68
Hello, i was stationed @ hai van pass in 67-68 with the usmc on hill 724, that would be the one on the east or ocean side of the village. Doesn't appear to be anything on the mountain top anymore but i remember the bunkers & the village. The hwy was one lane but now i see it has been widened to two lane, i think the army did this not to long after i left. Ialso see from my surfing the internet that they have now built a tunnel thru the mtns. Enjoyed the pictures & i would love to visit there myself. SEMPER FI

Hello
Larry, You should go to Vietnam. With your experience, you would have a good time. I think you would be amazed how much Vietnam has changed and is changing every day. Yet, you go out in the country and it is much the same. I leave for VN the 16th for a month. Not long enough but I have to return anyway. Yours, Kent
