Described on paper you would be right in thinking “madness, it can’t be done…” but it has been. Perched on top of the Ba Na Hills, 1487 metres above sea level, is the spectacular home of a fully-fledged French replica village of epic proportions.To reach this spectacular village you ride Ba Na Hills cable cars. They are of the top 10 in the world and hold two Guinness Records—for being both the longest and highest cable car. Taking you from Asia to Europe in little over half an hour, the views alone are spectacular and the ride up is breathtaking. You really do feel like you’re being carried away to somewhere quite magical.When you get off the cable car you feel the temperature change—it’s so much cooler up here. You are free to roam the beautifully manicured gardens with their giant chess pieces and pagodas. There’s a 27-metre tall Buddha and the new addition of the now-famous Golden Bridge. Its giant hands holding the bridge itself, providing you with an unforgettable panoramic view of the valley below.

Accompanied by restaurants from across the globe and a myriad of street performers, add the thousands of visitors into the mix and it can be all a little overwhelming at times.

Ba Na Hills History, Tour, And Attractions
The Ba Na Hills lie west of Da Nang in the Truong Son Mountains. In 1919, the area was established by the French, who used it as a temperate and cool playground for colonialists. It consisted of hundreds of villas, restaurants, and resorts. However, during the war, the urban centre of Ba Na was destroyed. Some ruins can still be found, but they’re quite the opposite of their once opulent state.
One of the main drawcards to the Ba Na Hills resort is the opportunities that the park provides for selfies and photos. It’s essentially a manicured social media dreamland for your next profile picture or Instagram post. Walking around and immersing yourself in the experience is a big part of what you pay for.
The French Village at Ba Na Hills is a unique experience. The incredible details really make you feel like you’re in Europe.
