Bà Nà Hill Station is a hill station and resort located in the Trường Sơn Mountains west of the city of Da Nang, in central Vietnam. The station, advertised as "the Da Lat of Danang province" by local tourism authorities, was founded in 1919 by French colonists. Sun World’s Ba Na Hills resort is located nearly 1,500 meters above sea level and roughly half an hour west of the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang, a coastal city of over one million people known for its sandy beaches, French colonial history, and proximity to the ancient city of Hoi An (a UNESCO World Heritage site). Ba Na Hills gives visitors yet another reason to visit Da Nang.
Upon arriving to Ba Na Hills visitors are greeted by a lovely village of bridges, statues, and water features meant to replicate the town of Hoi An. From there it is on to perhaps the park’s second most famous attraction – the Ba Na Cable Car, an extraordinary, European-built system that holds the world record for the longest nonstop single-track cable car ride, at over 19,000 feet in length.
