### **What to explore Sun World Ba Na Hills:**

There are 2 different routes by Cable car to the hilltop of
Ba Na

The most common one : start from Suoi Mo Station, you will
spend around 20 minutes trip on the 5042m long cable car system. Then you will
stop at Ba Na station, go out , if you turn right, you can go to the balcony
with amazing view of Danang City and the cable car system.

Then, if you want to visit the D’Amor Flower Gardens, you
need to buy the funicular ticket, which is 70.000 VND ( 3,5 USD), enjoy 5 mins
trip on the funicular to the top funicular station, where you can walk down and
enjoy the beauty of different flower gardens.

They also offer the French Wine Cellar, great view from the
good days, but the taste of wine is average, not really special.

Following the main road, you will go cross the checking
place, where they make a colorless stamp on you hand (to make sure that you
paid ticket at the bottom finucular station) you can see the big statue of
Shakyamuni – 27m high made by concrete, then stept down to visit one of 3 Linh
Ung pagoda in Danang at the height of 1400m . From here, you can walk through
the gate to see the panoramic view back to Danang City.

If you don’t to try the funicular service, on the right side
of that station, there is a road take you up to Linh Ung pagoda and the
Shakyamuni statue, you can not go through the checking place without colorless
stamp. It has many steps, and there are some trucks on the road. This way is
just good for adventurers.

After visitting those places, you can take the train back,
move to Debay station to get on another cable car system, spending 5 minutes on
it to Morin Station. From there, you can follow the exit to the Fantasy Park,
spending the relaxing time there, or find a food court and get some ernegy
first.

There are 3 floors amusement park, and you get 5 free games
there : bumper car, thrilling flyer, mirror house and jurasic park at 1st
floor, 29m high drop and twist tower at the 3rd floor.You don’t need ticket,
just keep in line and enjoy them !

Other games such as 4d, 5d movies, other video games require
ticket or coin that you can by from the shops in every floors. Just out side of
the jurasic park is the 300m long alpine coaster, which costs 100,000 vnd.
Other expensive game here is the wax showroom, where you can se more than 30
statues of the celebrities.

Actually there is a short trekking to the top of the moutain
( 1487m). Due to the French Village works, so they close that trekking at the
moment. But if you want to take many wonderful shots, from Morin station, you
turn right to go to Morin Hotel, they have a watching tower there where you can
be extremly stunned by the scenery. Or simply enjoy the moments with morin spa
center that very close to the watching tower.

There are many places for your meal, like kazka restarant (
the wood bulding where the people serve BBQ lamp or pork in Kazka style, or
other food vendors serve noodle soup, grilled sausage or chicken wings. The
food here are not really expensive, but tastes average. So bring a snack will
be a great solution. Otherwise, you can buy the buffet ticket – 180,000vnd and
enjoy the buffet there, but it is almost crowded.

In the peak season ( from April to July) both cable car
systems work ( Suoi mo – Bana ; Thac Toc Tien – Indochine) so if you have to
take the Thac Toc Tien one ( new one) , you will go directly to the top of the
mountain, then you can go down for visiting the funicular, pagoda, flower
gardens and statue by Morin – Debay route ( when you go out from Indochine
station, Morin station is on your left side) then, you can start your visiting
there.
