What To See and Do
People flock to Ba Na for various reasons, but the rejuvenating atmosphere and stunning scenery are the main draws. In the past, visitors had to navigate a challenging 15-kilometer zigzag road to reach the mountain’s peak. However, thanks to the construction of the world’s longest cable car system, that arduous journey is now a thing of the past. Although adventurous souls can still opt for the road, it is highly recommended to take the cable car for a rewarding experience. Not only is it safe, but it also offers breathtaking panoramic views of Da Nang City, Vung Thung Bay, Hai Van Pass, Son Tra Peninsula, My Khe Beach, Marble Mountain, Thu Bon River, and Cu Lao Cham Island. The cable car ride provides a unique Fengshui-like picture that you won’t find anywhere else.

Natural Gifts
Ba Na boasts a diverse ecosystem, including pristine jungles that house 256 animal species and 543 plant species. This has led to the development of eco-tourism in the area, attracting visitors from all over the world. Throughout the 20th century, various villages, resorts, and hotels were built on the slopes of Ba Na Mountain and King Mountain. Although many of these structures were destroyed during the wars, they have been restored to their former glory. Today, Ba Na welcomes thousands of visitors annually, who come to witness its natural beauty.
