Permanent Vice Chairman of Thua Thien Hue Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh and Vice Chairman of Da Nang City People's Committee Nguyen Thi Anh Thi co-chaired the meeting; also attending the meeting were leaders of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, relevant departments, and branches of the two localities.
The Hai Van Frontier Post relic site was joined hands by Thua Thien Hue province and Da Nang City to be restored since the end of 2021, with a total cost of more than 42 billion VND from the budgets of the two localities. After more than 2 years of restoration, on August 1, 2024, this relic site opened to visitors for free.
During this time, the two parties also received community opinions to complete the plan and improve service facilities to ensure safety for tourists.

Currently, the Hai Van Frontier Post relic site still lacks some infrastructure such as a parking lot, ticket counter, souvenir shop, working place for tour guides, and security guards. Small trash cans are equipped along the paths and signs are installed to serve visitors. In particular, inside the display room, pictures and information boards about the relic site in Vietnamese and English have been completed and hung to serve visitors' needs to learn about the history of the relic. At the same time, QR codes have been installed at each category to meet the needs of people and visitors to learn about the work.
The two localities have also established a security team of 8 people, half of whom are from Da Nang and the other half from Hue, divided into 2 shifts working 24/7 at Hai Van Frontier Post. In the future, the two localities will establish a management board to carry out the management and exploitation of the relic. At the same time, they will research and organize exhibitions, displays, and activities related to Hai Van Frontier Post to spread the message of this scenic spot.
At the meeting, representatives of departments and branches proposed plans for the management, exploitation, and promotion of the value of Hai Van Frontier Post relic, focusing on building parking lots, ancillary services, landscape embellishment, traffic diversion, etc.

Hai Van Frontier Post is located at the top of Hai Van Pass with many structures including a system of ramparts, warehouses, pillars, and cannon forts, ranked as a National Monument in 2017.
Hai Van Frontier Post was built during the Tran Dynasty and restored during the Nguyen Dynasty in the 7th year of Minh Mang reign (1826). The gate facing Thua Thien Palace has the three words "Hai Van Quan", and the gate facing Quang Nam has the words "Thien Ha De Nhat Hung Quan".
This construction contains many cultural and historical values and is a famous scenic spot between the two localities. Up to now, the restoration of the relic has ensured the restoration and renovation of some original construction items such as the "Thien ha de nhat hung quan" gate, Hai Van Quan gate, the headquarters, the wall system, etc.
