Da Nang: Ba Na Hills Entry with Cable Car and Lunch Option
Golden Bridge and a giant cable car today. I love how this Ba Na Hills day ticket strings together the world’s longest cable car ride, the Golden Bridge photo moment, and fragrant stops like Le Jardin D’amour. One heads-up, it’s a mountain day at about 1,489 meters, so pack a layer because the air can feel cooler as you go higher, plus transportation to Ba Na Hills is on you.
At $55 per person, this is a smart way to check off the big-name sights in one place without adding lots of separate entry fees. The ticket is built around SunWorld’s Ba Na Hills area, with a QR code ticket you get 1 day before (make sure your phone number is correct on WhatsApp, Kakao Talk, Line, Wechat, Zalo, or email). You also get a neat convenience: the core includes round-trip cable car rides and entry to the main attractions.
Key Things to Know Before You Go

- World-longest cable car, round trip: You ride it twice with access from the foot to the summit.
- Golden Bridge access: Admire the golden railing set against the lush green backdrop.
- Linh Ung Pagoda stop: See Vietnam’s tallest pagoda and a 27-meter statue of Bodhisattva of Mercy.
- Le Jardin D’amour flower garden: Walk among blooming flowers and breathe in the scent.

Ba Na Hills, the Mountain Escape From Da Nang

Ba Na Hills feels like a full world of its own, built on a hillside at about 1,489 meters above sea level. The setting is meant to feel cool, with forests that help break the heat you might be used to in Da Nang. If you only do one big day trip out of town, this is one that’s designed for a fast hit of views, statues, flowers, and fantasy buildings.
This ticket focuses on the mountain highlights that most people come for. You’re not just riding up and walking around randomly. You’re guided by the included entrances, so you can keep the day feeling organized even when the schedule gets packed.
Price and What You Really Get for $55

This costs $55 per person, and the value comes from what is already bundled. You get round-trip cable car access plus admissions to multiple named attractions: Golden Bridge, Le Jardin D’amour, Luna Castle, Helios Waterfall, and the French Village. Fantasy Park admission is included too, with the reminder that games have extra fees.
The ticket includes several of the most recognizable visual stops, which matters because Ba Na Hills is the kind of place where you can easily burn time hunting for tickets or deciding what to skip. With this option, you can move straight from one “must-see” moment to the next.
There’s also a lunch option upgrade (buffet lunch) if you choose that version. That can be a big value if you’d otherwise have to plan food on the fly while the day is moving.
How the QR Code Ticket Works at SunWorld

Your day starts at the entrance to Ba Na Hills SunWorld. You show your ticket there, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point, so you are working inside a defined area.
Here’s the practical part: your QR code ticket is sent 1 day before. To get it, you need to provide a phone number that works on WhatsApp, Kakao Talk, Line, Wechat, Zalo, or use your personal email. If you do not receive the QR code, you’re told to contact the provider on those same channels.
Also, transportation is not included. So this isn’t a do-nothing-from-the-hotel situation. You’ll want to sort out your own ride to the Ba Na Hills SunWorld entrance ahead of time, so you don’t waste your morning searching for directions.

Round-Trip Cable Car: Your Main View of Ba Na Hills

The big headline is the cable car ride. This includes the ride up and down, with round-trip access, and it’s described as the longest cable car in the world. The distance given is nearly 6 kilometers, connecting the foot of the mountain to the summit.
Even if you’ve done cable cars before, this one is special because it’s built as a scenic ride. You get time looking out while you’re suspended above the mountain forests, which is exactly the kind of moment that changes the way the rest of the day feels. Instead of only seeing Ba Na Hills from the ground, you see it as a system, with hills and greenery wrapping around the attractions.
One more practical note: because you’re riding high and moving between levels, it helps to dress for temperature changes. The experience is in cool forest air, and conditions can feel different at the summit than at the entrance.
Crossing the Golden Bridge for the Photo Moment

Next is Golden Bridge, one of the signature sights of Ba Na Hills. The ticket includes admission, and the key feature to look for is the golden railing that catches the light against the lush green backdrop.
This bridge is also where you’ll naturally spend a bit more time because photos are the whole point. If you’re traveling with a phone camera or a real camera, this is your moment to slow down and compose. Take a couple of wider shots that show the bridge with the greenery, then get closer frames for the details on the railing.
The bonus here is that Golden Bridge is accessible as part of the included package, so you don’t need to treat it as a separate purchase. You can plan your day around it and then enjoy the next stops without feeling rushed.
Linh Ung Pagoda: 27-Meter Statue Up Close
The ticket includes admission to Linh Ung Pagoda, described as the tallest pagoda in Vietnam. The standout detail given is a 27-meter high statue of the Bodhisattva of Mercy.
This stop is different from the bridge because it’s not mainly about a single wow photo. It’s about the scale. When you’re looking at a tall statue from the ground, it makes the whole area feel more monumental and less like a theme park set.
If you like religious art and iconic architecture, this is one of the more meaningful moments on the day. Even if you’re mostly there for visuals, the pagoda gives you a calmer pause and a different kind of atmosphere than the more playful areas.
Le Jardin D’amour Flower Garden, Scent and Color

Le Jardin D’amour is the flower garden stop, and the ticket includes admission. The description is pretty clear about what you’re getting: you’ll breathe in the aroma of blooming flowers while you stroll through the garden.
This is the kind of break that balances the day. You’ve already had big skyline views from the cable car and a major landmark moment at Golden Bridge. Then the garden shifts your senses from height and stone to color and scent, which makes the day feel less repetitive.
Practical tip: wear comfortable shoes. This is not just a quick peek, it’s a walking stop designed for strolling. If you tend to rush, slow down here for a few minutes. The garden is one place where you can let your eyes relax.
The French Village Replica, and Why It’s Fun Even in Day Trips

The French Village is included, and it’s described as a replica of classical and romantic France. The details given are specific: it includes a square, a cathedral, and inns.
This is the part of Ba Na Hills where the imagination takes over. Even if you’ve never been to France, you’ll recognize the idea: charming streetscape planning, building silhouettes, and the vibe of strolling in an old European town. It’s the sort of stop that helps the whole day feel like a theme, not just a list of checkpoints.
One good way to use this stop is to treat it like your “wander time.” You can move at your own pace, take photos, and decide what you want to see more of, because you’re not dealing with a short, rigid viewing window.
Luna Castle and Fantasy Park: Switch Into Play Mode

The ticket includes admission to Luna Castle, described as a fantasy world escape. This is a straightforward change of pace. After the garden and European-style replica, Luna Castle brings a more storybook feeling.
You also get admission to Fantasy Park. The note is important: games are an additional fee. The description says you can purchase fun games and win exciting prizes, which tells you to treat this as optional spending. If you’re not into games, you can simply walk the area and enjoy the setting.
If you do plan to play, set a small budget before you get there. It’s easy to want to try everything once you see the game choices.
Helios Waterfall: A Breather That Fits the Route
Helios Waterfall is included, and that makes a difference because water features can be a natural break in a day filled with bridges, statues, and photo stops. It’s not described as the single star of the day, but it is part of the included package admissions.
This is the kind of stop that can help you reset before you go back to busier areas. If you feel your legs getting tired, prioritize moving through Helios Waterfall at a comfortable pace instead of racing to the next photo point.
Lunch Upgrade: Buffet Lunch Option Worth Considering
This ticket offers an upgrade option that includes a buffet lunch. If you choose that version, you get the benefit of having one planned meal during a day that can feel like nonstop movement.
For value, lunch matters most when you want fewer decisions. When you’re on a timed day trip and trying to fit in many attractions, a buffet can reduce stress. On the other hand, if you already know you’ll want a specific kind of meal and you’re happy to plan around it, the base ticket may be enough.
Bottom line: if you want the day to feel smoother, the lunch option is likely the better fit.
What’s Not Included, So You Can Plan Ahead
You’re not buying every possible Ba Na Hills attraction with this ticket. The data lists several exclusions, and it’s worth scanning them so you do not get surprised at the gate.
Not included:
- Transportation to Ba Na Hills
- Tickets to the Wax Museum, Debay Wine Cellar, and Rain Sheltering Teahouse
- Admission to the Alpine Coaster or the Climbing Game
- Fees to join games at Fantasy Park (games are not included)
This matters because some people go to Ba Na Hills expecting to play everything. With this ticket, you’re covered for the cable car, Golden Bridge, key gardens and castles, and several named zones. For the extra rides and special attractions, you’ll need separate tickets or pay the additional fees.
Who This Ticket Fits Best
This Ba Na Hills ticket is a strong match if you want:
- A one-day, organized route through major sights
- The cable car ride as a headline experience
- The big photo stops, including Golden Bridge
- A mix of nature (flower garden) and built sets (French Village, Luna Castle)
If you’re visiting with kids, the Luna Castle and Fantasy Park angle can be a win. If you mostly care about visual landmarks and want to avoid extra ticket searching, this package is built for that.
If you dislike a packed itinerary, you might still be fine, but you’ll want to go in with a plan. This ticket covers multiple named admissions, so you should be ready to move from one included highlight to the next.
Should You Book This Ba Na Hills Ticket?
Yes, I think you should book it if your main goal is to get the essentials in one day: round-trip cable car, Golden Bridge, Linh Ung Pagoda, Le Jardin D’amour, the French Village, and Luna Castle. The high rating of 4.3 from 25 reviews also lines up with the idea that people get a satisfying hit of the big attractions without needing to stitch together separate entry fees.
Skip it or consider the base version if:
- You plan to leave your meal choices open and don’t want the buffet upgrade
- You already have tickets for other attractions you care about more than the included set
- You do not want to deal with a mountain day at higher elevation and cooler air
If you’re coming through Da Nang and want one ticket that covers the headline sights in a clean, day-trip format, this is one of the easier ways to do it.
