Crossing rail tunnel
When you and your friends reach Hai Van pass, stop by a railway on the right and park you vehicles. Then walk to railway tunnel. Ask rail station guard about schedule. As far as I am concerned, there is a train every 30 minutes. Then cross the tunnel. Inside the tunnel, there are some slots. If the train is coming while you are in the tunnel, you can enter such slots to be safe. Each slot has capacity of 3 to 4 people.
