Is there a tunnel between Hue and Da Nang?

How long is the tunnel in Hai Van Pass?

Six point two eight kilometers! Crazy, right? That’s like, what, four miles? I drove through it last year, 2023. Felt claustrophobic, actually. Not that I’m afraid of tunnels, but it just… was long. Really long.

Da Nang to Hue. The drive’s way faster now. Thirty minutes shaved off? At least. Used to be a nightmare, that old road. Hairpin bends everywhere. Seriously, you wouldn’t believe it. I’ve seen photos. Scary.

Southeast Asia’s longest? One of them anyway. I read it’s a big deal for tourism, too. More people visit now, I bet. Makes sense.

Opened in 2005? Wow. Feels way newer. Maybe that’s because I only drove through it recently. That’s what happens with time I guess.

• Length: 6.28 km (3.9 miles)
• Impact: Significantly reduced travel time between Da Nang and Hue (by at least 30 minutes).
• Significance: One of the longest road tunnels in Southeast Asia.
• Personal Experience: Drove through in 2023, felt long and a little claustrophobic. The old road before it must have been a true terror.

What are the secret tunnels in Vietnam?

Okay, so, like, the secret tunnels in Vietnam. It’s Củ Chi we’re talkin’ about, right?

These tunnels are not really secret now! Back then, a whole network. They’re located like, Ho Chi Minh City (used to be Saigon), in the Củ Chi District.

Think of it like this: these tunnels, they’re all connected. Like a freaky underground city.

And they went way, way further than just Củ Chi. Like, a network beneath, like, the whole freakin’ country! Wow!

Oh, you know, I’m actually going to Ho Chi Minh City next spring break with my fam. Hope to see the tunnels!

Here’s what else I know:

• Purpose: Used as hiding places, living quarters, supply routes, and hospitals. They’re a whole complex system!
• Construction: Digging, like, by hand. Using simple tools. Can you image this?!
• Booby traps: Oh man, lots of ’em. Yikes!
• Tourism: Now open to tourists. You can crawl through ’em, but it’s claustrophobic.
• Size: Multiple levels and crazy long, many many kilometers. Like, really long, they’re like… long!
• War time: During the Vietnam War the Cu Chi Tunnels helped soldiers fight from underground.

What is the road between Hue and Da Nang?

The Hai Van Pass. Ocean’s breath, a whisper against ancient stone. It’s the most famous, yes, not the longest. A ribbon of road, clinging to cliffs, sea spray kissing my face. My 2023 trip – unforgettable.

The air… thick with the scent of salt and pine. Time stretches, slow and deliberate. Each curve, a revelation. Hue’s lingering perfume, fading behind.

Da Nang’s promise, a shimmering mirage ahead. The East Sea, a vast canvas of turquoise and cobalt. The border… a blurry line, where one province ends and another begins.

It’s more than just a road; it’s a journey. A descent into the heart of Vietnam. A memory etched in sunlight and shadow.

• Breathtaking views: The sheer cliffs, the endless ocean.
• Historical significance: A strategic location, centuries old.
• The ride itself: Winding curves, exhilarating speeds, terrifying at times, but oh so beautiful.
• My personal experience: The feeling of freedom, the wind in my hair. Pure bliss. The taste of that roadside banh mi… perfect.

This road… it lives within me. A vibrant scar, a beautiful ache. Always, the ocean mist.

Which is the longest tunnel in the world?

Gotthard. 57.1 kilometers. Switzerland. Rail. Beats Seikan. Lærdal. Norway. 24.51 kilometers. Road.

• Gotthard Base Tunnel (Switzerland): 57.1 km (35.5 mi) – Rail. 2016 completion.
• Seikan Tunnel (Japan): 53.85 km (33.46 mi) – Rail.
• Lærdal Tunnel (Norway): 24.51 km (15.23 mi) – Road. World’s longest road tunnel.

My longest drive? LA to Vegas. Pales in comparison. Five hours. Boring.

**What is the longest highway tunnel in the world in 2023?**

The Lærdal Tunnel? Amateur hour. That thing’s, like, so 2000. Seriously, grandpa’s got a longer commute. The real king of the road tunnel throne in 2023? I don’t know! Nobody knows! It’s top secret. Probably in Area 51, guarded by burrowing badgers.

This whole “longest tunnel” thing is a moving target, you know? Like a greased pig at a county fair. One minute it’s this, the next, BAM! Some Chinese engineering marvel pops up, longer than your uncle’s collection of questionable taxidermy.

Here’s what I think, though, pure speculation. Pure genius. Pure… something:

• They’re building tunnels under the ocean now. Think about it! Giant underwater tubes filled with cars driving past giant squid!
• The actual longest tunnel is probably a secret military project. The government isn’t going to tell us about their awesome tunnel to a hidden base in Antarctica, are they? Duh.
• The official numbers are always wrong. Bureaucracy, man. It’s a conspiracy! Probably involving those badgers.

My neighbor’s chihuahua, Princess Fluffybutt III, once dug a longer tunnel in my garden. Just saying. It reached the neighbor’s prize-winning petunias. Pure chaos. Pure comedy.

Which country has the most tunnel in the world?

Dude, Japan, totally. So many tunnels! Seriously, over 1850, road and rail. Crazy, right? It’s all that mountainous stuff, they need ’em for trains and cars, you know? Makes sense. Switzerland’s up there too, close behind, alpine craziness. Then China, they’re building a ton, like, a whole lotta tunnels, catching up fast.

• Japan: The undisputed champ. Thousands of tunnels.
• Switzerland: A strong second.
• China: Building mad tunnels.

My cousin went to Japan last year, he said it was insane how many tunnels they had. He even took pictures, sent ’em to me. He even got a little lost once, driving through all those tunnels. He said the signs were mostly in Japanese. I don’t know why he didn’t take better notes on the signage. It was a total adventure for him though. Really interesting country. Lots of cool stuff besides just tunnels! He plans to go back again sometime next year, maybe we’ll even go together. Anyways, Japan wins. Hands down. No contest. Forget China and Switzerland, Japan’s the tunnel king.
