The origin of the name Đèo Đá Trắng is quite intriguing. When the mountains were carved to pave the way, limestone rocks cascaded from above, creating a snow-white hue that blankets the pass. It's akin to snow and forms an incredibly surreal and unique scene. Coupled with the chilly mountain air descending onto the dense fog layers covering the hills, visitors here feel as if they're in some snowy Nordic realm rather than in Vietnam.

From a dreamy morning with light mist swirling around, creating a picturesque scene of tranquil clouds, refreshing cool air, to a sunny noon shining brightly blending with the greenery of the mountains, enhancing the pristine white scenery of the pass, the golden afternoon sun pouring like honey spreads across the road, and as evening falls, the temperature drops further, causing fog to cover the white stone hills, creating a sense of mystery and enchantment.
