Off to Hue Through the Hải Vân Pass
Of the entire 1600-kilometer train journey which unites North and South Vietnam, the most spectacular is the short segment connecting the cities of Danang and Hue, where the tracks climb over the Hải Vân Pass.

Toward the end of April, we went to the station in Saigon and boarded the Reunification Express, a train which connects the two capitals of the once-divided Vietnam. But we wouldn't be taking the train straight to Hanoi, a journey which would require 34 hours. No, we'd be taking it in stages, stopping off in a number of Vietnam's most historic cities. First stop: Danang.
