Da Nang 岘港 ,Vietnam(Day 2) - Ba Na Hills

Day 2 schedule is day tour to Ba Na Hills. Morning around Vietnam time 8, we wait the driver at lobby and he bring us to have breakfast then only heading to Ba Na Hills. Lucky my sister in law can join the trip, If not really a bit hard to communicate with the driver . Every time have to get the middle man Mr.John translate for us. 

               

He bring us to try another famous noodle in Vietnam also , is called " Bun Cha Ca "( Fish Cake Noodle) . It really delicious and the soup also nice. For the tourist who's don't eat beef can try this Bun Cha Ca .

After breakfast we heading to Ba Na Hills,it took around 30 mins drive from Da Nang Central.

Ba Na Hill is one of the newest and most exciting projects in Vietnam. It’s a mountaintop resort complex that looks like a medieval castle, but inside these stone walls are modern accommodations, 

world class restaurants and a Fantasy Park full of exciting rides. The ticket cost us 700,000 vnd ( around RM 123) . This ticket include all free games in Fantasy, ParkFunicular, Debay ancient wine cellar & Le Jardin D’Amour’ . Exclude the fee for visiting Wax Museum, cotton animal game and carnival skill at Fantasy Park

Ba Na Hill also under the Sun World Group. Before you visit Ba Na Hills, you can thru the website to understand more about this area and some extra festival show. 

There a lot of tourist from China and Korea arrived there in early morning and start going up to the hill and taking photo at the entrance. There a lot of photographer  under Sun World Group helping the tourist taking the group photo . Of course we also paid and took a family photo. If not you can't get a clear background to snap.

           

                 

Only entrance we already took 30 mins hang around. Some more we have to walk about 5 to 10min to get the cable car entrance going up to the hills. They have 3 cable car entrance to let us choose and queue. Lucky they have few cable car line, if not how to support such much tourist visit. We just queue less than 15 mins already can get into cable car.

I heard from some blogger mentioned that, Ba Na Hills hold a record the longest cable car ride in the world with 5 KM distance from the starting point to the peak of French Village. OMG..really long distance. We enjoy along with the beautiful-misty natural scenery and the kids also feel excited.

                   

               

The natural scenery from the cable car. It really beautiful and amazing.  

           

               

This cable line bring us up to the D'amour Garden (or Le Jardin D'amour) , but we wish to start walk from the French Village. So get transfer to another cable car up to the French Village. 

The timing really bad. By the time we arriving, start raining. We bought so rain cloth for the kids and wear our jacket as well. Because it really cold. 

French Village is a beautiful small town. All the architecture of the buildings was highly inspired by the European buildings which normally dominated with stone and wood. The feeling a bit like you going to Europe.

This is the center of the French Village, you to go for your left you can visit Wax Museum ,Fantasy Park,Arapang Cafe and another cable car line. On right are those hotel, restaurant , church and further up are Ling Ung Pagoda,Linh Chua Lunh tu Temple,Tru Vu Tea Shop and etc.

             

This building can go to Fantasy park and the Wax Museum also. 

              

This is the Arapang Cafe Buiding. Whole building is restaurant and we have our lunch buffet there. It cost us 200,000 vnd per person. The food their quite good and suitable for us.

            

            

            

               

               

The whole way from the church until close to this point, further up will going to Ling Ung Pagoda,Linh Chua Lunh tu Temple,Tru Vu Tea Shop and etc.

This is Ling Ung Pagoda Entrance.

This is Tru Vu Tea Shop

               

   

              

We rest about 20 to 30 mins at Tru Vu Tea Shop. It really so relaxing and comfortable.

This is Linh Chua Lunh tu Temple

The whole view take of French Village.

This is Linh Phong Tu Tower

                

            

           

          

There also have Wax Museum but have to paid additional entrance fees, it cost 100,000 vnd ( RM 18+-) . Ba Na Hills Wax Museum just a mall museum only ,and the wax figure a bit rigid.

Regrettably is we didn't explore much of Ba Na Hills. We only enjoy at the French Village and the spiritual landmarks which near French Village. Around 4 we already take cable car going back to entrance parking area. ( We want to avoid the crowed time for the cable car) .

After Ba Na Hill, we also ask the driver bring us to Han Market to but some local coffee and the snack. This Thuan Yen 52 store in Han Market quite good. The lady boss know how to speak Chinese and the price also good.
