Da Nang will hand over management to Lien Chieu district on a three-year rotation basis, and assign the People's Committee of Phu Loc district to preside over and coordinate with the People's Committee of Lien Chieu district on landscape planning.

According to historical documents, Hai Van Quan was built during the Tran Dynasty and was restored during the Nguyen Dynasty (7th year of Minh Mang, 1826). Over time, this relic located on the top of Hai Van Pass between the administrative boundaries of Thua Thien Hue and Da Nang provinces has deteriorated and needs to be invested in, restored, and its value promoted.

In December 2021, the project to preserve, restore, rehabilitate and promote the value of Hai Van Quan relic was started, with a budget of 42 billion VND, implemented by the Hue Monuments Conservation Center in coordination with the Department of Culture and Sports of Da Nang city.

This is a project with many cultural and historical values ​​and is also a famous scenic spot of the two localities. Up to now, the restoration of the relic has basically ensured the restoration and renovation of some of the original construction items of the relic such as the gate of the most majestic gate of the world, the gate of Hai Van Quan, the headquarters, and the wall system.

Since August 1st this year, Hai Van Quan relic site has been open to visitors free of charge until the two localities agree on the construction of a suitable ticket price list. During this time, the parties also received community opinions to complete the plan and improve service facilities to ensure safety for visitors.

In the first phase of serving tourists, the functional units have installed a system of railings, protective glass, and instruction boards... to ensure the safety of tourists. In particular, inside the headquarters, pictures and information boards about the relic in Vietnamese and English have been completed and hung to serve the needs of tourists to learn about the history of the construction.

Currently, the two localities have coordinated to establish a relic protection team, issued working regulations, and prepared all necessary facilities for management and protection activities. In the coming time, the two localities will build a management board to carry out the management and exploitation of the relic. At the same time, research and organize exhibitions, displays, and activities related to Hai Van Quan to spread the message of this special landscape.

The cultural sectors of the two localities continue to coordinate in exploiting, preserving and promoting the value of this relic, as well as coordinating management, ensuring security and order, environmental landscape, space for displaying tourism products, etc. to contribute to promoting the project and attracting tourists to visit.
