Overview

Mountain pass. It sits on the central coast, where the rains come in autumn rather than summer.

Why visit: Hai Van and Ma Pi Leng — switchback roads along cliff edges and sea coast, among the great motorcycling routes anywhere.

Things to do

›Ride it on a motorbike if you are experienced — this is why people come north
›Hire a local rider ('easy rider') if you are not
›Start early; cloud and rain build through the afternoon
›Stop at the viewpoints rather than riding it straight through
