Ba Na Hills Guide | A Summer Retreat Mixed with Gigantic Structures and a Budget Disney Experience
| A Summer Retreat Mixed with Gigantic Structures and a Budget Disney Experience. Actually, before going to Ba Na Hills, I was hesitant about whether to go or not, since the ticket price is not cheap. However, I saw that the weather was going to be good the next day, so I decided to go with the 'since I'm here' mentality, you know. Well, Ba Na Hills is indeed not bad for taking photos📸, especially since I was initially attracted by the giant hand bridge. But if you're expecting something like Disney or Universal Studios, you might be disappointed because it's quite different. Before it became an amusement park, it was actually a summer retreat near Da Nang, with an altitude difference of 1500 meters, rich in natural resources.

There is no public transportation from Da Nang city to Ba Na Hills, so when booking tickets, you can choose a package that includes a round-trip shuttle bus🚌. Just pick the boarding point nearest to you, which is more convenient. It takes about 1 hour to get there from Da Nang.

Ba Na Hills can be seen as three areas connected by cable cars, divided into lower, middle, and upper mountain areas—
✅Lower mountain area. Mainly the entrance of the scenic area and the cable car station, with some small parks and landscapes for photography in between. However, most people don't stay too long in the lower area and go straight to the cable car.
·
✅Middle mountain area. Where the hand bridge is located. This area is mainly for photography, including the hand bridge, the Fantasy Park, and the white Buddha, all of which are quite photogenic. However, when we went there, there were too many tourists on the hand bridge. We only went to take photos in the afternoon when we were about to leave, and there were much fewer people.
·
✅Upper mountain area. The core area of Ba Na Hills, including the French Village and amusement park, etc. But you can't really look at them in detail. The imitation atmosphere is strong, such as the copied Winter Palace fountain, the Louvre Pyramid, and various churches and castles, which are very similar to the French-style town near Chengdu, with nothing but facades. As for the amusement park, it's not on par with Disney, not even Happy Valley, with mostly very basic amusement park rides. So, don't put too much time into the amusement facilities, taking photos and watching performances might be more suitable.

What actually impressed me the most about Ba Na Hills was the cable car🚡. Not only is it a long ride with a large drop, but there are also multiple cable cars running in parallel, operating different areas, which looks spectacular.
It was an awesome experience here. Especially, at night, the atmosphere was great with cold weather, and you would even feel like stepping in the world of fairy tales that much more romantic at night. Recommended to have a night stay here.
The place is amazing,I love to come back again in bana hills and spent over night in mercure hotel.It was a memorable experience with me and my wife.
Great trip! Nice weather with clear sky. Went in March. Buddha hand was crowded in the morning. Go buddha bridge after 3pm, lesser people. Many photos opportunies. The theme park is fun, many fun rides (free inclusive in our admission fee). No need buy buffet lunch at the entrance, same price at the restuarant. There are other buffet restuarants at the same price inside.
fantastic place to visit...breathtaking...absolutely beautiful. The cable car experience was really stunning, the view was fantastic.. it is must to visit 💖💖💖💖
Great experience!! would definitely recommend. you board the worlds longest cable car (fact) to the top of the ba na hills and get to see beautiful buildings, temples, walkways, water features, the golden hand bridge and way more. it involves a lot of walking and i would recommend a whole day for this activity
