On July 27, the leader of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center said that this agency and the Department of Culture and Sports of Da Nang City basically agreed on a plan to open Hai Van Quan to visitors.

The site still lacks tourism infrastructure such as parking lots, ticket offices, work areas for tour guides and security guards, and souvenir shops.

In addition, due to its location at an altitude of more than 500m above sea level, the technical infrastructure system has not been invested in synchronously. The relic is located in a difficult location, so phone and internet signals are limited, and human resources are thin, making management difficult.

The total investment of the project is more than 42 billion VND from 50% of Da Nang city budget and 50% of Thua Thien Hue province budget, the project implementation period is within 2 years.
