You will travel along the beautiful Hai Van Pass, also known as the Pass of Ocean Clouds, and pass through the charming fishing village of Lang Co. This route is not only scenic but also historically significant, as it once marked the boundary between the Dai Viet and Champa kingdoms, as well as between northern and southern Vietnam.

Upon reaching Lang Co lagoon near Lang Co beach, you'll board a local boat to take in the stunning vistas and crystal-clear waters, nestled beneath the Annamite Cordillera Mountain range.
