Where is Ba Na Hills?
Bà Nà Hill Station (or Bà Nà Hills or Sun World Ba Na Hills) is a hill station and resort in central Vietnam, located in the Trng Sn Mountains west of Da Nang. The station, dubbed “the Da Lat of Danang province” by local tourism officials, was established in 1919 by French colonists. The colonists had constructed a resort to serve as a recreational destination for French tourists. It has a view of the East Sea and the surrounding mountains because it is 1500 meters above sea level.
Because of the resort’s height, the temperature is cooler than the surroundings near the coast. Linh Ung Pagoda is close to the station, and there is a cable car nearby that transports guests to and from the resort.
