Hai Van Quan relic is a military fortification guarding the top of Hai Van pass with many structures, including a system of ramparts, warehouses, posts, cannon forts...

Under the Nguyen Dynasty, Hai Van Quan was an important pass, the gateway to the Hue Capital from the South. Therefore, the Nguyen Dynasty concentrated a large force and weapons at Hai Van Quan to guard it.

In 2017, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism decided to rank Hai Van Quan as a national monument. This is a work containing many cultural and historical values and is also a famous scenic spot, contributing to the tourism development of Thua Thien Hue province and Da Nang city.
