Walk the restored Nguyễn gate and look back at Vịnh Lăng Cô. It stands above 500 m on the Hue–Da Nang boundary, built in 1826 under Minh Mạng as the southern gate of the capital. Visitors have been allowed in since 1 Aug 2024, after restoration. Both cities manage the national historic site. The south edge of the 2018 Lang Co tourism zone is this pass.

From 2 June 2026 the fee is 70,000 VND per person per visit, the same for domestic and international visitors, through 31 Dec 2028. Children under 1.2 m go free, and residents of Hue and Da Nang, plus policy groups, pay half. Those concessions are not on the other statement of the same fee. Check the board.
Time on the summit is check on arrival. Go in the morning if you want the bay in the light rather than the gate in silhouette. Hours are 07:00–17:30 every day, and also left with no clock. Use the board at the gate if the two disagree.
