Hải Vân Pass named among world’s most beautiful drives

 

The Hải Vân Pass in the central Vietnamese coastal city of Đà Nẵng has been named among the 10 most beautiful drives in the world by renowned US magazine Travel + Leisure.

The Pentagon Motor Group (PMG)’s Instagram data analysis was used to compile the list.
PMG analysed more than 7 million Instagram hashtags to find the world’s most stunning routes and divided the number of images of selected routes by their length.

With a length of 20 kilometres and 2,686 pictures per km, the Hải Vân Pass came fourth in the list, behind the Great Ocean Road (Australia), Big Sur (California), and Jebel Hafeet (United Arab Emirates).

Jonathan Lingham, marketing director at Pentagon Motor Group, told the magazine: “Despite the looming question over international travel, road trips are still on cards, thanks to the luxury and convenience of our wheels.”

“As there are so many driving holiday destinations around the globe, we were curious to find out which route is officially the most beautiful. It’s great to see so many bucket-list-worthy road trips cropping up from all around the world — from the UK to Australia, and Norway to the USA — it proves that everyone can jump in their car and embark on an epic adventure,” he added.

According to Travel + Leisure, the Hải Vân Pass was once dubbed “one of the best coast roads in the world” by Jeremy Clarkson, former host of UK motoring television programme Top Gear.

The website also recommended those travelling along the route slow their speed when weather conditions become foggy.

PMG’s search noted that the pass has become one of the most popular destinations for visitors to snap photographs on, with more than 55,000 photos taken at the site uploaded to Instagram.

The Hải Vân pass is approximately 20km long and 500m above sea level.

It is on National Highway 1A, some 80km from the heart of Huế to the south and more than 20km from the centre of Đà Nẵng to the north, running across Bạch Mã mountain which stretches from the Trường Sơn range to the sea, creating a natural boundary between Thừa Thiên-Huế Province and Đà Nẵng City.

The pass has lush jungle on one side and the sea on the other. The crooked road winding along the mountainside has been compared to a ribbon crossing heaven and earth.

Tuong street performances, other arts events to make comeback

 

A weekly Tuong (classical drama) street show will make its comeback to the Da Nang public for free on Sunday, April 4, at a public park located on a section of riverside Tran Hung Dao Street, near the eastern end of the Tran Thi Ly Bridge. Apart from enjoying impressive Tuong performances by seasoned artists from the Nguyen Hien Dinh Tuong Theatre, both locals and visitors will be introduced to the arts of Tuong mask drawing and its dress codes. Also, the audience will enjoy interesting moments whilst having their photos taken in colorful Tuong costumes available for rent at reasonable prices. That classical drama takes to the street is a new way Da Nang has initiated to make this form of time-honored stage performing arts more accessible to the public, thus ensuring its revival.

Performances consist of highly stylized singing, dancing, and music that are filled with symbolism. In a similar vein, the evenings of Saturday and Sunday every week will see the bustling ambiance created by a series of other unique cultural and entertainment events taking place on the eastern bank of the ionic Han River. Notable amongst them are numerous exciting performances on traditional Vietnamese music, folk songs, and ‘bai choi’ (singing while acting as playing cards) on a section of Tran Hung Dao Street. Likewise, a street carnival of live music and dancing will take place on the last Saturday of every month between 8:00pm and 9.30pm along with a section of Tran Hung Dao between its intersections with Ly Nam De and Trieu Viet Vuong in Son Tra District.

At the same time, it will roll out major transport projects, including one on upgrading and expanding Da Nang International Airport towards an annual capacity of serving 30 million passengers, and another on building Lien Chieu Port that can handle 50 million tonnes of cargo a year.

Danang, March 2021 – Ariyana Convention Centre – Furama Resort Danang has recently upgraded their Covid-19 epidemic prevention system. The Convention Centre is now equipped with a remote Thermal Camera and Temperature Monitoring device. Catering for large MICE groups that attend conferences at the Ariyana Convention Centre is now more convenient and safe. The initiative reduces the check-in time upon arrival of delegates to the 2,500 person capacity complex that was the host venue for the 2017 APEC conference.

The system includes a modern dual-camera with motion detection function, measuring and displaying temperature according to the color palette, displaying images to the central control screen, and alerting by lights and sounds when detecting moving objects with high temperature. The safety and well-being of our guests, customers, and colleagues is a top priority at Furama Resort Danang as well as Ariyana Convention Centre.

According to Mr. Brett Burton – Area General Manager of Furama Resort, Villas & Ariyana Danang: “In the context of the epidemic’s challenge to the tourism industry and the change of market to local visitors, we will invest in strengthening disease prevention, to create a safer tourism environment that is capable of welcoming and controlling large groups of MICE. Thereby giving visitors confidence and peace of mind when returning to Danang”.

“Ariyana Convention Centre and Furama Resort Danang remains committed to enhanced levels of cleanliness and will continue to build on existing rigorous safety and cleanliness protocols previously applied. The new remote Thermal Camera and Temperature Monitoring system will complete our safety and epidemic prevention system and increase our capacity to serve larger groups”, Mr. Burton added.

This is also a move in response to the tourism promotion programs of Danang City when the government introduced policies to support businesses to restore MICE services, “Danang By Night” night activities, Lighting Performances, and Summer Rendezvous for example. The cities expectation is to welcome 100 MICE delegations in 2021 and increase the number of guests by more than 85% compared to 2020. In March and April, Ariyana Convention Centre will welcome 3 to 4 MICE groups.
