Linh Ung Pagoda in Ba Na is one of the three Linh Ung Pagodas in Da Nang. It houses a towering 27-meter statue of Buddha, designed with eight sides, each representing a different phase in the Buddha's life. The temple grounds are vast, providing a peaceful retreat where you can stroll leisurely, away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding tourist areas.

Debay Wine Cellar is a remarkable architectural feat built by the French in 1923, carved deep into the mountain. The cellar stretches 100 meters in length, with a height of 2.5 meters and a width of about 2 meters. Inside, you'll find storage rooms, distillery areas, a bar, a fireplace, and a lounge. This is the only French-built structure still largely intact on top of Ba Na Mountain.

France is famous for its champagne and wine, and if you've ever experienced these classic French drinks, you'll never forget their rich, intoxicating flavors. It's a pleasant surprise that you can enjoy that same taste right here in Ba Na, Vietnam.

Entry fee: 100,000 VND, which includes access to the flower garden and wax museum.

The Wax Museum showcases lifelike replicas of famous political figures, celebrities, and historical icons from around the world.

This is a captivating and unique destination for those looking to capture stunning photos that will get plenty of likes. You don’t need to travel to France to admire the grandeur of the Saint Denis Cathedral or the historic Chateau De Chenonceau, as all these iconic French architectural features are recreated here at the Mercure Ba Na Hills French Village, or more simply known as the French Village.

A miniature Europe on top of Ba Na Mountain, the French Village was designed by renowned French architects, featuring majestic castles, cobblestone streets, gothic iron fences, and an enchanting, romantic atmosphere that pervades the air.

The French Village is also the only place offering accommodation atop Ba Na, ideal for visitors seeking a unique experience or simply a tranquil retreat. This 4-star hotel boasts 494 rooms, a spa, a gym, an indoor pool, and a selection of elegant restaurants.

Room rates start from 1,000,000 VND per night, reflecting the extraordinary experience of staying in a picturesque French-style village. For the best prices and comprehensive advice, it's recommended to book directly with the hotel rather than through third-party sites, and booking early is advisable during peak seasons. Check-in is after 2 PM, and check-out is before 11 AM. Even if you arrive early, there are plenty of places to explore in the French Village.

You can't miss the Fantasy Park indoor amusement park when visiting Ba Na. Spanning an area of 21,000 square meters, it meets international standards! The park features a variety of indoor games, from simple attractions for kids to thrilling rides such as the towering slide, adventurous rock climbing, the haunted house, the century-old Ferris wheel, and bumper cars—all included in the entry ticket. The best fun is had with friends, as time will fly by while you're enjoying the rides. One of the most popular attractions, especially among young visitors, is the outdoor super-fast toboggan ride. This exhilarating experience is sure to give you a rush with its grand tracks and spine-tingling excitement.

Ticket prices: 600,000 VND for adults and 500,000 VND for children between 1m and 1.3m; free for children under 1m.

There are numerous hotels within this resort area where you can rest, and if you're fascinated by mysteries and have always wanted to step into the ancient world of Northern European aristocracy, you shouldn't miss the Mercure Ba Na Hills French Village. This fantastic retreat not only offers breathtaking views from every angle but also gives you the enchanting feeling of being transported to another world, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

At the Mercure Hotel, you’ll have the chance to indulge in its uniquely designed, luxurious pool, reminiscent of the grand pools once enjoyed by European nobility. After a long day of exploration, there's nothing better than relaxing and unwinding in the cool, refreshing waters, right?

After exploring the many fascinating spots at Ba Na Hills, take a break and visit the Trú Vũ Tea House to enjoy a delicious cup of traditional tea. While the decor of the tea house may appear simple at first glance, it leaves a strong impression. From this peaceful setting, you can sip your tea while gazing out over the breathtaking natural landscapes and the lush, vibrant primary forest. Sounds delightful, doesn't it?

At Ba Na Hill's amusement area, you'll come across a variety of food stalls. One of the most popular treats is the infamous “legendary” sausage, which can be bought for just 25,000 VND. If you're feeling hungry, grab a hot sausage and enjoy it before continuing your adventure.

If you're a fan of traditional Vietnamese cuisine, head over to the Chợ Quê food area. Designed to evoke the peaceful, rustic charm of the Vietnamese countryside, Chợ Quê offers a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere. Visitors will love both the ambiance and the reasonable prices here.

For those craving European or American flavors, there are upscale restaurants where you can enjoy exquisite dishes prepared by renowned international chefs. These restaurants serve authentic and distinctive flavors that are impossible to replicate.

Cham Stone is the only premium souvenir shop in Ba Na Hills, offering a wide range of unique and diverse items. Here, you can have custom portraits carved or purchase small, interesting gifts for your friends and family. However, keep in mind that prices here are on the higher side. Personally, I recommend buying local products in downtown Da Nang, where you can find delicious and affordable souvenirs for your loved ones.

In early June 2018, social media, especially young people who love checking in and taking photos, went wild with the first glimpses of the newly opened Golden Bridge at Sun World Ba Na Hills.

Located at an impressive 1,414 meters above sea level, Golden Bridge is a stunning architectural masterpiece stretching nearly 150 meters. The bridge offers a magical path suspended in the sky, becoming a must-see check-in spot with the experience of walking through the clouds. Its allure continues to grow, not only in Vietnam but also internationally.

After seeing many similar-looking structures, Ba Na Hills surprised everyone with a unique landmark floating in the sky. This innovative and striking construction has become one of the top photo opportunities in Da Nang. The Golden Bridge is a spot you can't miss when visiting here.

The highest point of Ba Na Hills is the Bell Tower. This is likely the spot you’ll want to visit for panoramic views of the entire Ba Na Hill attractions. From the top of the Bell Tower, you can enjoy the breathtaking landscape of Ba Na Hills, especially at noon when the fog clears. The Bell Tower itself is built in Buddhist architectural style, with a meticulously crafted one-ton bronze bell cast right at the sacred peak of Ba Na. The sound of the bell reverberates through the air, blending with the serene silence of the mountains, offering a peaceful and calming experience that feels like merging into the stillness of the void.

When visiting Ba Na, I recommend heading up around 11 AM. If you arrive later, the place tends to get crowded, and it might be harder to capture clear shots of Ba Na Hills. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the Son Tra Peninsula. Tip: Along the cable car stations, you’ll encounter the famous hydrangeas that are considered a specialty of Ba Na Hills. Be sure to have your phone or camera ready to capture the stunning scenery!

As you sit in the cable car cabin, you'll be treated to a panoramic view of the vast, sprawling forest, with its mist-covered mountains, lush greenery, and waterfalls. Take in the raw, majestic beauty of the towering mountain ranges and the fluffy, misty clouds that hover around the peaks.

The Ba Na cable car is divided into three stages. The first stage takes you from the Suoi Mo station to the Ba Na station. The second stage continues from Ba Na station to Morin station. The final stage transports you from Suoi Mo station directly to the Indochine station. For the best sightseeing experience, I recommend taking different stages for your ascent and descent to see Ba Na from various angles, truly capturing the essence of this “heavenly path.” The cabins are vibrant, spacious, and offer a comfortable ride. The cable car between stations 1 and 2 is free, and the cable car operates its first ride at 7:30 AM, with the last ride at 9:00 PM. Be sure to check the operational hours to avoid waiting too long.

The mountain train service is not included in the cable car ticket, and you will need to purchase a separate ticket for this experience. This fun mode of transport takes you to attractions like the Le Jardin D'Amour flower garden, the Debay wine cellar, and the tranquil meditation house. The train can accommodate 80 passengers, with departures every 15 minutes, and it runs on a 400-meter track up the mountainside. Rest assured, you'll be treated to breathtaking views along the way.

Ticket prices: 70,000 VND for adults, 50,000 VND for children between 1 - 1.3 meters; free for children under 1 meter. If you're bringing children, be cautious to ensure they don't fall when the train stops or slows down.

Le Jardin D'Amour translates to "The Garden of Love" in French. This enchanting garden is designed in a romantic, old-world European style, especially reminiscent of France, filled with vibrant, majestic flowers. The garden features many unique species not found anywhere else in Vietnam, thanks to the special climate at Ba Na, where all four seasons can occur in a single day.

Le Jardin D'Amour is divided into nine distinct sections, each with its own theme. One of the most captivating spots is the cool, quiet, and slightly mysterious maze, perfect for leisurely strolls and exploration.

What's more, this garden is a popular spot for young visitors looking for the perfect "Instagrammable" backdrop. It has inspired countless photos shared across social media, showcasing the garden’s enchanting beauty. Even foreign tourists visiting Vietnam are often in awe of the "fairyland" they encounter here.
