Ba Na Hills

Ba Na Hills, located about 40 kilometers west of the beautiful coastal city of Da Nang in central Vietnam, rises to an elevation of 1,487 meters, making it a popular summer retreat.

The history of Ba Na Hills dates back to the French colonial period. In the early 19th century, French nobles chose this mountainous area as a getaway to escape the heat. They constructed numerous buildings in various architectural styles on the mountaintop, including resorts, wine cellars, and an opera house, infusing Ba Na Hills with a unique French romantic charm.

Today, Ba Na Hills has transformed into a comprehensive entertainment destination that combines natural beauty, historical culture, and modern attractions, ensuring every visitor finds their own unforgettable experience.

Ba Na Hills Cable Car System: Holding the record for the longest single-line cable car in the world, stretching 5,801 meters, it also boasts the largest elevation drop at 1,291 meters. During the 28-minute ride from the base to the summit, guests seem to journey through the changing seasons. With breathtaking views of picturesque valleys, dense forests, winding paths, and distant blue skies, it truly feels like entering a fairyland.

Golden Bridge in Da Nang: This 150-meter-long golden bridge, supported by two giant hands, is also known as the “Hand of Buddha Bridge”. Walking on the bridge feels like being lifted to the clouds, offering a stunning vantage point to admire the breathtaking landscapes and majestic Ba Na Hills. The perfect blend of architectural artistry and nature leaves countless visitors in awe.

French Village: At the summit of Ba Na Hills, you’ll find a cluster of buildings designed to mimic a medieval French village, creating an illusion of being in Europe. You can stroll along the cobblestone streets, marvel at the beauty of the churches, squares, and fountains; dine in restaurants serving authentic French cuisine; and capture the unique charm of this romantic setting with your camera. The enchanting atmosphere is sure to linger in your memory.

Fantasy Park: Welcome to Vietnam’s largest indoor amusement park, where excitement awaits you at every turn! Get ready for thrilling adventures with rock climbing, drop towers, mirror mazes, haunted houses, roller coasters, carousels, Ferris wheels, bumper cars, horseback riding, shooting games, and immersive 4D and 5D movies. There’s something for everyone to enjoy!

Linh Ung Pagoda: Nestled at the summit, Linh Ung Pagoda is a significant Buddhist temple featuring a massive white jade sitting Buddha facing the sea, symbolizing protection and blessings. Here, visitors can experience tranquility and peace, offering a perfect retreat for spiritual reflection and renewal.

China Essence with Natural Wonders Exploration

We traveled to China during 05th May to 17th May, 2026. Here goes our comment.

Guilin & Yangshuo:

Mr. Tom was an excellent guide in every aspect. He made every experience a great adventure and beyond. With his energy and knowledge, he adjusted the schedule with extra activities such as visiting the pandas, which made it extra special. He is good at explaining everything in a clear and succinct way, since much is guiding us, we loved our time in China and couldn’t have done it without Tom. He is also frequently offering helpful knowledge we very much appreciated. He also took great pictures of us. Mr. Kong, the driver is very courteous & flexible.

Zhangjiajie, Furong & Fenghuang town:

Allen is a capable and smart guide who has an optimistic and patient personality. We feel fortunate to have her. She is very good at arranging the schedule and navigating the towns’ sights in an efficient manner. We appreciate her help to negotiate with the photographer and provide us good seats and advice. The driver Mr. Lee is a safe & excellent driver who is courteous to us, other drivers and pedestrians. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Zhengzhou area. The hotel was excellent!

Beijing:

Ray Liu is a very knowledgeable and smart guide with excellent English. We learned a lot from him about Chinese history, culture, and current life. He is on time and capable. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts and information, and it was easy to talk to him because he is friendly, talkative and has fluent English. Ray knows his way around & got us everywhere, and it was nice there was a charge port in the back. He can be more courteous to bikers & pedestrians, but we got everywhere safely.

This is the second time we plan a trip with Best Asia Tours and we love their service and attention to detail as well as their willingness to make your trip memorable and anything you want possible. Their planning is impecable and very efficient and if anything is not as you expected they will work to make sure it is. we did a 21 day itinerary for 7 including 2 grandmas back on 2018 and we just went back a couple of weeks ago with our daughter for 12 days and had an awesome time. We are already planning the next one. Zoe and Eric who had help us with the travel planning were both amazing their speed to comeback with the itineraries and changes is impressive and not matter how many times you ask them to look at changes or different hotels etc they are always willing to help with the most wonderful attitude . All the guides we had on the different cities and regions have be incredible . I can not recommend them enough. I have traveled al over the world and they are definitively on the top service of the agencies I had used.

Classic Japan Tour, Tokyo, Mt.Fuji, Osaka, Kyoto

Aug 2025

Best Asia Tours did a really good job planning our itinerary in Japan. Some times we had issues coming up I think mostly related to cultural differences, but our agent was amazing and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were comfortable and the trip was perfect. The hotels are centrally located, very easy to access to the city center. The guide and driver are friendly and nice. We spend a pleasant and amazing journey there.
