In The Clouds Cafe - A Must Visit Cafe At The Top Of Hai Van Pass

Hello everyone, how are you today?
Have you had coffee yet? If not, I would like to invite you to have a cup of coffee with me at a nice cafe called In The Clouds Cafe. This cafe is so named because it is located on a mountain top and is covered with clouds almost all year round.

Where is this cafe located?

This cafe has a very special location. Usually, people will choose crowded locations to open a coffee shop. However, this cafe is not only located very far from the city center, but also located in a place where no one lives. It is located on the top of Hai Van Pass. Not only that, it is located right at the boundary between the two cities of Da Nang and Hue. So it becomes an ideal stopover when driving between the two cities. Don't miss it when you pass by here. Stop for a cup of coffee to help you stay awake, rest and admire the beauty around.

A little bit about the owner of the cafe

The owner of this cafe is a 72 year old man. His name is Lai Thanh Ha. But he called himself and was also known by everyone as Lai Phien Ha because, according to him, he had encountered many troublesome things in life and love. He is known for building the first toilet at the top of Hai Van pass for passengers when they stop, admire the scenery and rest. It was also for this reason that he and his wife had a conflict and led to a divorce.

He was originally a driver transporting goods to Laos during the subsidy period with a good income. But then, in 1990, that shipping was discontinued. He lost his job. With a love of nature and poetry, he sold all his land and houses to go to the top of Hai Van to live and build a stopover for visitors. It is for that reason that people used to consider him a "crazy man", and his wife herself did not accept it.

Why is it a must visit cafe?

There are many reasons that make this cafe a must-visit. The first thing to mention is the beautiful scenery around. This cafe is covered with greenery and flowers. In addition, from different angles in the restaurant, you all have beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. Besides, don't forget to ask the owner or staff for the way to Thien Thai Mountain at the back of the shop, where you can not only admire the full beauty of the legendary Hai Van Quan historical site but also the panoramic beauty of Lang Van beach of Da Nang and Lang Co beach of Hue.

Also, if you are a nature lover then this is a perfect cafe for you. Far from the noisy and bustling cafes in the city, this cafe offers peace and relaxation. When you come here, you only hear the sounds of nature such as running water, wind, birds singing,...And even the arrangement of potted plants, the enthusiasm of the owner and staff, and the friendliness of the dogs here also brings me a sense of peace at home. Those things make this cafe the perfect place to relax, rest or even work. And especially, this will be a very romantic dating place for couples. And I repeat, don't forget to ask the owner or staff for directions to Thien Thai Mountain behind the cafe. It will be a romantic private place just for you and the one you love.

The price of drinks and food of this cafe is also very affordable. In addition, it also serves some specialties of Da Nang and Hue, so you can spend a whole day at the cafe with family and friends without worrying about going hungry. Wish you have a great time there.
