Sun World Ba Na Hills is Da Nang's most famous attraction, home to the Golden Bridge held by giant hands, the French Village and one of the world's most impressive cable car systems. Here is everything about tickets, timing and tips.
Contents
Ba Na Hills sits on Chua Mountain, about 25–30 km west of central Da Nang, with its summit at around 1,487 m above sea level. Since French colonial times it has been a hill station thanks to its cool climate – you can feel "four seasons in a day". Today it is famous for the cable car over the mountains, the Golden Bridge and the French Village.
What to do at Ba Na Hills
- Golden Bridge: a curving 150 m walkway among the clouds, lifted by a pair of giant stone hands – named by many international media as one of the world's most striking bridges.
- Cable cars: lines that sweep over primary forest, clouds and waterfalls, having held several Guinness records for length and elevation difference.
- French Village: squares, a church and classic European-style hotels – a photographer's playground.
- Le Jardin D'Amour and Debay wine cellar: the cellar was built by the French in the early 20th century.
- Linh Ung Pagoda Ba Na: a large Buddha overlooking the valley.
- Fantasy Park: an indoor amusement park with thrill rides and 4D–5D cinemas, great for kids, plus an outdoor alpine coaster.

How to get to Ba Na Hills
- Join-in tour: pick-up from your Da Nang hotel – the easiest option.
- Taxi or ride-hailing: about 40–45 minutes from the centre.
- Private car with driver: great for groups and flexible return times – see car rental prices.
- Motorbike: parking at the foot of the mountain, but the road is long and hot – not recommended for families.
Ba Na Hills tips
- Go early: be at the cable car station by 7:30–8am to photograph the Golden Bridge with fewer people.
- Bring a light jacket: it's only about 15–20°C at the top, with fog and sudden showers.
- Wear trainers: the park is huge, with lots of walking and slopes.
- Avoid weekends and holidays if possible; if not, consider a WOWPASS.
- Check the weather: strong storms can temporarily stop the cable cars.
Suggested day plan: take the cable car and head straight to the Golden Bridge before it gets busy, then the flower garden, wine cellar and Linh Ung Pagoda; lunch buffet in the French Village, Fantasy Park in the afternoon, then down the mountain.
