No matter what part of photography, culture, or adventure interests you, there is something unique for everyone at Ba Na Hills.

The Golden Bridge

Your trip to Ba Na Hills is more memorable with the first stop – famous Golden Bridge. With a height of 1,000 meters above sea level, this bridge has a unique structure with two colossal stone hands, which represent the hands of gods lifting a strip of gold. If you want to enjoy a fully fresh atmosphere here, the mornings are the best choice when you can walk among the clouds. Don’t forget to take some beautiful photos to save memories in the morning or the late afternoon to avoid the larger crowds.

Le Jardin D’Amour Flower Gardens

Located a short stroll from the Golden Bridge, Le Jardin D’Amour is a floral wonderland comprised of nine themed gardens. Each section of the park conveys a different aspect of love, from the Secret Garden to the Garden of Dreams. With gentle classical French music playing, this is a great opportunity to slow down, relax, and take some amazing postcard-worthy pictures amongst thousands of colorful blooms.

Linh Ung Pagoda

Situated at about 1,500 meters above sea level, Linh Ung Pagoda in the Ba Na Hills is a favorite among all tourists. This place allows you to chase clouds as well as being a place of worship. It forms a spiritual “tripod” with the other two Linh Ung Pagodas, one on the Son Tra Peninsula and another in Marble Mountains. With its imposing statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, calm and majestic on the horizon, the pagoda lords over majestic mountains and clouds.

Debay Wine Cellar

Constructed by the French in 1923, as you can see, the Debay Wine Cellar is an excellent cool place to relax and enjoy. It keeps a consistent temperature of 16-20°C throughout the year, and you will experience the aroma of oak barrels and aged wine while walking through the 100-meter tunnel. You should stop at the European-style bar for a cool glass of French wine or buy some unique souvenirs. It is also a good opportunity to listen to wine history and culture while drinking some wine.

Entrance fee: 4 – 12.5 USD/adult and free for children (under 1m4)

The French Village

Next, the French Village, which is situated on top of the Chua Mountain, is a wonderful replica of medieval France. With Gothic-style cathedrals, cobblestone streets, and romantic towers here and there, it almost feels like you made it to Paris! The area consists of seven sections, representing musical notes; there is an entire “symphony” of architecture in perfect harmony. The golden colors of the entire area, from sunrise to sunset, light up each corner with an attractive glory for dreamy photo ops and leisurely walks throughout the area.

The Lunar Castle

Lunar Castle is Ba Na Hills’ new and most beautiful spot for your next stop. The castle rests on 38,000 square meters and has themed spaces, such as Dragon’s Lair, Wolf Kingdom, and Moonlight Square. Inside, there is a view of wonders with a 2,000-seat, state-of-the-art stage for high-standard shows. It is as if you are in a world from a fairy tale, which sounds wonderful, don’t you think?

The Helios Waterfall

Next to the French Village and the Lunar Castle is the Helios Waterfall. This complex is reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman legends with 43 larger-than-life statues of deities, including Apollo, Venus, and Athena. The art and scale of the statues are wondrous and exciting, transporting visitors through a beautiful European sculpture garden. Everywhere you turn is a photo-op, and beyond that, the waterfall is dazzling and refreshing amidst the mythological statues.

Fantasy Park

Over 100 games, with kid-friendly rides and heart-pounding adventures, are available at Fantasy Park for both families and thrill-seekers. Are you ready to try the bumper cars, the 4D movie theater, or the Freefall Tower to see how brave you are? The “Back to Jurassic” game also takes you to prehistoric times with life-sized dinosaurs and realistic sound effects. It is really one of the most thrilling attractions. Your admission ticket covers all of the unexpected games that surprise you on the first try!

Alpine Coaster

Are you prepared for some exhilarating thrills? With Vietnam’s first twin-spiral tracks, the Alpine Coaster gives riders control over their speed as they speed through breathtaking mountain scenery. As you wind and turn around the slopes, it’s exhilarating and beautiful, giving you a feeling of freedom. Finally, remember to smile at the camera to take random pictures throughout your journey.

Ticket fee: 2.8 USD/adult

The Freefall Tower

Breathe deeply, this is not for the faint-hearted! Within two seconds flat, the Freefall Tower will shoot you straight downwards after shooting you up 29 meters high. So amazing! You will be screaming with delight and laughing out loud, and crying with fear at the sheer thrill and terror. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that witnesses the wild, adventurous heart of Ba Na Hills.

The Wax Museum

As the final spot in Ba Na Hills, at Vietnam’s first wax museum, you get the amazing chance to “meet” life-like statues of some of the biggest stars in the world. Such as, for example, Angelina Jolie, Barack Obama, Lady Gaga, and Steve Jobs. They are all hand-sculpted by Italian artists, so it’s a work of art for those who enjoy art as much as it is for pop culture fans. Entry only sets you back 100,000 VND, and it’s a decent spot to grab some photos or just appreciate one-of-a-kind artwork.
