Vietnam’s administrative restructuring has merged Quang Nam Province into Da Nang City, expanding its footprint to include areas like Hoi An Town (formerly part of Quang Nam). 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.
Dive into the scenic charm of Da Nang Travel (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. The Han River fuels Da Nang’s tourism hub status, while over 50% of the area is forested, enhancing the cable car’s scenic allure.
Why Ba Na cable car has achieved many Guinness records? (Source: Source: Internet)The Ba Na Hills Cable Car, part of Sun World Ba Na Hills, was developed by Sun Group and opened in phases from 2009, with the longest line completed in 2013. Designed to European safety standards, it transformed Ba Na Hills from a French colonial retreat (est. 1919) into a global tourism icon. The system holds four Guinness World Records, awarded in 2013 by Carlos Martínez Nogués of Guinness World Records:
Longest non-stop single-track cable car: 5,771.61 m (Hoi An–Marseille line).
Highest elevation difference: 1,368.93 m between stations.
Longest total cable length: 11,587 m across all lines.
Heaviest cable weight: 141.24 tons.
With 201 cabins (10–15 passengers each) and a capacity of 6,500 passengers per hour at 6 m/s, it’s a feat of engineering and a gateway to Ba Na’s attractions.
The cable car system comprises five main lines, each offering unique views and access to Ba Na Hills’ highlights:
Line 1 (Suoi Mo–Ba Na): Connects the base to Ba Na station, offering jungle views and access to Linh Ung Pagoda.
Line 2 (Debay–Morin): Links Debay to Morin station, near the French Village and Fantasy Park.
Line 3 (Toc Tien–Tangerine Falls–L’Indochine): A scenic route to L’Indochine Square, passing waterfalls.
Line 4 (Hoi An–Marseille): The longest line (5,771.61 m), accessing the Golden Bridge and Le Jardin d’Amour.
Line 5 (Bordeaux–Louvre): Connects to the French Village and cultural attractions.
Open-air and glass cabins provide panoramic views of Da Nang’s coastline, forests, and mountains, creating a surreal “flying through clouds” experience. The ride, lasting 15–20 minutes per line, is a highlight of any Ba Na Hills visit.
Riding the Ba Na Hills Cable Car is an adventure in itself, offering bird’s-eye views of lush greenery, waterfalls, and misty peaks. The journey feels like soaring through a painting, with clouds often enveloping the cabins at higher altitudes. Passengers can choose cabins based on their destination—Golden Bridge, French Village, or Fantasy Park—making it both functional and thrilling. The cable car’s safety, comfort, and eco-conscious design (minimizing forest disruption) enhance its appeal. Combine your ride with Ba Na’s attractions for a full-day experience.
