Walking on the path in Lap An Lagoon in early morning
Another ideal choice is visiting Lap An Lagoon, also known as An Cu Lagoon, at the foot of Phu Gia Pass and near National Highway 1A. This used to be a favorite fishing place of Kings Khai Dinh and Bao Dai in summer. The lagoon is suitable for sightseeing, fishing, and checking-in. It is advisable for tourists to visit the lagoon in early morning to see a path in the middle of the lagoon. The path appears when the water recedes. Near the lagoon there is a small fishing village with restaurants offering Lang Co specialties. Tourists should try Vietnamese thick noodle soup with crab cakes and blood clam salad.
Also on this day, tourists should not miss exploring Hai Van Pass. This picturesque pass is some 20km long. On Hai Van Pass, tourists can view the panorama of Lang Co townlet in the North and Da Nang city in the South. In the middle of the pass stands Hai Van Gate that separates Da Nang city and Thua Thien Hue province.
