Hoanh Son (also known as horizontal mountain) is a mountain range located in the south of Ha Tinh province and north of Quang Binh province. This mountain range stretches 50km, starting from the Truong Son range to the west and running to the East Sea, creating a horizontal line dividing the two provinces. This is the natural boundary of Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces, connected to each other through Ngang Pass. The highest peak of the Hoanh Son mountain range reaches 1044m. Previously, to cross this mountain range, people often had to go through Ngang Pass, 256m high and 6km long, this was an extremely arduous and dangerous journey. The Hoanh Son range has preserved many traces of history, from ancient times to modern times, with an extremely important strategic position. For a long time, Hoanh Son has acted as a natural boundary between Dai Viet and Champa. Today, on the Hoanh Son range, there are still ruins of Luy Lam Ap (also known as Luy Hoanh Son) of Champa from the 4th century. In 992, the pass through the Hoanh Son mountain range was built under the direction of Ngo Tu An. The Hoanh Son range runs from West to East, along with the Linh Giang (Gianh River) about 20km to the South, creating an extremely dangerous position in terms of national defense. This is also the place that witnessed many wars in history, especially in the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans.

This work is carved into Huyen Dinh (one of the Nine Peaks) in Hue citadel. Hoanh Son Quan was built of mountain stone, 11 meters long, 8 meters long, 5 meters high, with a door and walls according to the mountain position, demonstrating the solidity and strategic talent of the Nguyen Dynasty kings. The Hoanh Son mountain range, especially Ngang Pass, has become an endless source of inspiration for many people and travelers.
