Ba Na Hills Shore Excursion is an ideal day trip for cruise ship passengers docking at Chan May Port, offering a full exploration of the stunning Ba Na Hills and the iconic Golden Hands Bridge. Known for its slogan “Ba Na Hills – the way to heaven,” this mountain retreat is situated about 25 kilometers from Da Nang, at an altitude of 1,487 meters. It provides a cool, refreshing climate year-round, a stark contrast to the coastal heat below. The Ba Na Hills complex is famous for its scenic beauty, French village-inspired architecture, and various attractions, making it one of Vietnam’s premier tourist destinations.
Historically, Ba Na Hills was developed by the French in 1919 as a hill station for colonial elites looking to escape the summer heat. The name “Ba Na” is believed to come from the local Katu ethnic group, with “Ba” meaning “mountain” and “Na” possibly referring to the abundant banana trees that once covered the hills. Over time, Ba Na Hills has evolved into a modern resort and theme park, home to one of the world’s longest cable car systems, a replica French village, the beautiful Le Jardin D’Amour flower garden, and thrilling amusement rides.
One of the most remarkable attractions is the Golden Hands Bridge, a unique architectural wonder where a pair of giant stone hands appears to hold up a shimmering pedestrian bridge, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can also explore the Linh Ung Pagoda, Fantasy Park, and the Debay Wine Cellar, built by the French over a century ago.
Ba Na Hills is a place where history, culture, and modern entertainment blend seamlessly, providing visitors with an unforgettable experience.
