Reading Time: 4 minutes It was both beautiful and dangerous – sharp and blind curves, hairpin switchbacks, and serpentine stretches of roads that is barely enough for two vehicles traversing the opposite directions. Boasting striking scenery amidst deep chasms, the mountain pass lives up to its name of being the most treacherous of the four great mountain passes of Vietnam (alongside Pha Din Pass, O Quy Ho pass and Khau Pha Pass).
