Vietnam’s administrative restructuring has merged Quang Nam Province into Da Nang City, expanding its footprint to include Hoi An Town. The district level has been eliminated, making Da Nang the nation’s largest city by landmass. Enhanced by sustainable infrastructure—cycling paths, electric buses, and a VND600 billion flood mitigation project (2024)—the city ensures seamless access to Ba Na Hills and other attractions.
Photograph the serene allure of Da Nang’s heritage (Source: Source: Internet)Located 764 km south of Hanoi and 964 km north of Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City is bordered by Thua Thien Hue, Quang Ngai, Kon Tum, Laos, and the South China Sea. Covering 1,283.42 km² (241.51 km² urban, 1,041.91 km² rural), it features a tropical monsoon climate with a dry season (February–August, 24–35°C or 75.2–95°F) and a rainy season (September–January, 18–30°C or 64.4–86°F), with peak rainfall in October–November (150–500 mm). The city’s terrain, from the Truong Son Mountains to coastal plains, creates a stunning backdrop for Ba Na Hills, while the Han River fuels its tourism hub status.
Start your Da Nang Travel with breathtaking vistas (Source: Source: Internet)Ba Na Hills, situated atop Chua Mountain in Hoa Ninh Ward, is 25 km from Da Nang city center, accessible via a 5,801 m cable car system, the world’s longest non-stop single track, holding four Guinness World Records: longest cable car (5,771.61 m), highest altitude difference (1,368.93 m), longest cable length (11,587 m), and heaviest cable weight (141.24 tons). At 1,487 m, its temperate climate (16–20°C) and lush forests make it an eco-tourism gem. Key attractions include the Golden Bridge, a 150-meter pedestrian bridge held by giant stone hands, Fantasy Park (21,000 m²), a recreated French Village, and Linh Ung Pagoda with a 27-meter Buddha statue.
Discovered in 1901 by French Captain Marin Debay, Ba Na Hills became a colonial retreat by 1919, with villas and resorts for escaping lowland heat. Post-1945, it served as a U.S. military post before falling into disrepair. Since 2007, Sun Group’s investments transformed it into a global destination, earning accolades like Vietnam’s Leading Theme Park (World Travel Awards, 2019). The name “Ba Na” may derive from French “Banane” (banana trees) or the Katu word for “my mountain.” Its cultural blend—French architecture, Vietnamese spirituality, and modern attractions—creates a unique identity.
Ba Na Hills offers a diverse experience, from the thrilling cable car ride with views of Da Nang Bay, Hai Van Pass, and My Khe Beach to exploring the Golden Bridge’s Instagram-famous vistas. Fantasy Park features over 100 games, including a 29-meter Drop Tower and 4D cinemas, while the French Village hosts festivals like the Ba Na Wine Festival. Spiritual sites like Linh Ung Pagoda and cultural spots like Le Jardin D’Amour gardens add depth. Eco-conscious dining at restaurants like Doumer emphasizes local ingredients. Guided eco-tours ensure sustainable exploration, bundling attractions for maximum value.
