DA NANG TO DMZ BY PRIVATE CAR
We allow travelers to select their departure dates, times, starting points, stopovers, etc. However, as this private car service acts as a DMZ tour, we highly suggest you start early. Refer to our sample itinerary as follows to plan your trip better.
At 7:30 am, our Da Nang private car and driver will pick you up at your hotel/apartment in Da Nang. After that, we start the private car Da Nang to Vietnam DMZ. Along the way from Da Nang to DMZ Vietnam, our professional driver will stop at some beautiful landscapes for you to admire the panoramic views and capture some photos, such as:
Hai Van Pass
It is a breathtaking mountain pass renowned for its panoramic views of the East Sea, Lang Co Bay, and Da Nang City. This iconic pass was a historically significant route, once dividing the kingdoms of Champa and Dai Viet, and later serving as a strategic point during the Vietnam War.
Our driver will stop at Hai Van Pass’s peak and foot for you to enjoy the wonderful views and take some beautiful photos.
Lap An Lagoon
Next, we will stop at Lap An Lagoon, an 800-hectare brackish lagoon with views of oyster farms, fishing nets, fishing boats, and local daily life activities on the lagoon. You will have a chance to walk on the white sandy path in the heart of the lagoon as well as sip a cup of the best Vietnamese coffee here.
Hien Luong Bridge-Ben Hai River
Please note that Hai Van Pass and Lap An Lagoon are not DMZ sites. Keep doing the Danang to DMZ by private car, we will explore the DMZ Vietnam relics with some famous Vietnam war attractions.
The first stop is at Hien Luong Bridge and the Ben Hai River. These hold historical significance in Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, the Ben Hai River served as the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that divided North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The Hien Luong Bridge was the bridge over the Ben Hai River that symbolized the physical separation between the two regions.
The Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River have since become important symbols of the reunification of Vietnam following the war. Nowadays, they serve as a memorial site known as the Hien Luong-Ben Hai Historic Cluster, where you can learn about the country’s history and the resilience of its people.
Doc Mieu Airbase
The Doc Mieu Airbase, also known as the Dong Ha Airfield, was a military airfield located in Quang Tri Province in central Vietnam. The airbase was used by the U.S. Marines and other American forces during the Vietnam War.
It served as a crucial location for air support, helicopter operations, and logistical support for military operations in the northern region of South Vietnam and near the DMZ.
These days, this airbase and the surrounding area are now part of a historical site and museum dedicated to the Vietnam War. You can explore the remnants of the airbase, view displays and artifacts related to the war, and learn about the history and significance of this location.
Long Hung Church
Long Hung Church, located in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam, is a historical and cultural landmark known for its significance during the Vietnam War. Built in the 19th century, it served as a place of worship and refuge for the local Catholic community.
The church is famous for being one of the few structures that survived the intense fighting and bombings during the war, making it a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. These days, Long Hung Church stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Vietnamese people and is a popular destination for visitors interested in the history and heritage of the region.
Vinh Moc Tunnels
Then, the main attraction in our Da Nang to DMZ private car is the Vinh Moc Tunnels. The Vinh Moc Tunnels are a remarkable underground network located in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. These tunnels were constructed during the Vietnam War as a shelter for the local population, particularly the villagers of Vinh Moc, who sought refuge from the intense bombing campaigns in the area.
The tunnels span several kilometers and include living quarters, meeting rooms, healthcare facilities, and storage areas. Today, the Vinh Moc Tunnels serve as a historical site and museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during the war, as well as the challenging conditions they endured while living underground.
After all, our experienced driver will safely transfer you back to Da Nang hotel/apartment. We finish the private car Da Nang to DMZ and Phong Nha Private Car Travel wishes you a great Vietnam DMZ Tour with us.
