On August 1, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center in coordination with the Department of Culture and Sports of Da Nang City opened Hai Van Quan to visitors after more than 2 years of restoration.

According to Mr. Phan Van Tuan, Deputy Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, the restoration process so far has basically ensured the restoration and renovation of some original construction items such as the "Thien ha de nhat hung quan" gate (facing Da Nang), Hai Van Quan gate (facing Thua Thien - Hue), the headquarters, and the Great Wall system. "The unit relies on survey records and archaeological documents to develop a suitable restoration plan for the remaining construction items, in order to preserve the historical military architectural value of Hai Van Quan Relic. For items that do not have documents or research on the terrain, there will be a restoration plan later," said Mr. Tuan.

On the first day of opening, Hai Van Quan relic attracted many domestic and foreign tourists to visit, enjoy the majestic scenery as well as take souvenir photos.

Mr. Phan Van Tuan said that Hai Van Quan relic site will be open for free until the two localities agree to build a suitable ticket price list. During this time, the parties will also collect opinions from the community to complete the plan, improve service facilities, and ensure the highest safety for visitors.

Many foreign tourist groups also visited and learned about Hai Van Quan historical relic on the first day of reopening.

A group of foreign tourists enjoy taking photos at Hai Van Quan relic site on the morning of August 1.

Hai Van Quan was built in the 7th year of Minh Mang (1826), located on the top of Hai Van Pass at an altitude of 496m above sea level, in the Bach Ma-Hai Van mountain range. This is a military fort with many structures including a system of ramparts, warehouses, headquarters, and cannon forts.

After 2 years of restoration and reconstruction, from August 1, Hai Van Quan relic site began welcoming visitors.
