The station system at Sun World Ba Na Hills in Tay Ninh
A standout feature of the cable car system at Sun World Ba Na Hills is its three uniquely designed stations.

Located at an elevation of 42m, the station’s roof is shaped like three towering waves. From above, the three wave-like roof clusters symbolize the three mountains: Ba, Phung, and Heo. The station’s central hall is adorned with five large, stylized pillars resembling ancient trees protected by Mother Mountain, creating the sensation of being in a forest rather than just a typical cable car station.

The Vân Sơn station draws inspiration from the architecture of the Cao Dai Holy See. Its structure is mainly made from sandstone, with colorful glass pieces forming vibrant, cubist-style paintings. The main hall features a grand chandelier and curving moldings, blending classic European style with hidden secrets of a fairy tale.
