Vietnam Da Nang best things to do - Ba Na Hills

 YR2023 DEC:

Where is Da Nang? What Ba Na Hills? Really must go? 


These hands holding the golden bridge up in the sky, you should have seen before in the Instagram or somewhere, when you search for places to go in Vietnam. It was also the top 10 best destinations of the world in 2018.

We arranged Grab driver who was okay to fetch us there. We landed at this huge carpark.


One of the longest Cable Car (almost 6km) in the world.


This amusement park is about 1.5km above sea level.


The ticketing zone and entrance.


The queue will be very long, but it was well organized. 


Fortunately the cloud was cleared after 30mins when we were up there. We cannot even see the people who were few steps away - disappointed. 













The favorite zone was "French Village" with their classical landmarks. There were 4-stars hotels in this village and you can enjoy days in the wonderful weather. I am sure you be able to catch the great view from your window of Ba Na hill.



There were more than 30 restaurants for you to indulged during your hectic day.

Weather very hot. Don't waste it, I walk through this huge air-con shopping mall - (2) Mahkota Parade. If you love shopping, this area is for you. There are few around.

(4) Melaka Menara Taming Sari (Taming Sari Tower). 
110 metres in height, its revolving structure offers a 360-degree panoramic view.
