Must-Visit Attraction in Vietnam - Ba Na Hills
🎡Ba Na Hills is a 40-minute drive from the famous coastal city of Da Nang. The entire attraction is a magical world built above the clouds on the mountain top🌎. Taking the world's longest and highest (with the greatest drop) cable car through the clouds to the top of the mountain, the cable car ride lasts about 30 minutes, offering a bird's-eye view of the trees, waterfalls, and more on Ba Na Hills.
🏨This time, we stayed at the hotel on the mountain top, named Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills, the only one on the top. Of course, you can also choose to stay in Da Nang city and come in the morning and return in the evening.
🏰Upon reaching the top, after getting off the cable car🚡, you are directly inside the French Village, which features European-style buildings, including castles, churches, markets, and theaters. Since this is Vietnam🇻🇳, there are naturally also Chinese-style temples, such as the Linh Phong Zen Temple⛩️.
🎠As an amusement park, Ba Na Hills naturally has various amusement rides, including outdoor ones like carousels, swing rides, and roller coasters. Imagine riding a roller coaster above the clouds, looking at the clouds below☁️, it feels super thrilling; there are also indoor rides like drop towers and bumper cars. The park also offers song and dance performances, live cosplay, market restaurants, and more.
🌄At the edge of the eclipse platform in the distance, there are European-style sculptures. Watching the sunset below the clouds from here is truly beautiful! In the distance, there is a giant Buddha statue standing above the clouds, located at the Linh Ung Pagoda. From the top of Ba Na Hills, the Buddha statue looks like it is sitting in the clouds, with its upper body emerging from the clouds, which is quite impressive!
🫴🌉The most famous landmark here is the Golden Bridge, with two giant hands holding up a golden bridge. It takes tourists more than ten minutes to walk across the bridge. Since Ba Na Hills often gets foggy, walking on the foggy Golden Bridge adds to its ethereal and mysterious charm.
🤩You can't finish exploring Ba Na Hills in one day. That day, I walked over 13,000 steps, and it felt like just a quick tour. Moreover, this magical world has many projects under construction, and it will definitely be bigger and more exciting in the future.
💵Finally, let's talk about the costs:
- Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills hotel, prices range from 600 to over 1000 depending on the season,
- The round-trip cable car ticket is 630k VND per person, about 200 RMB,
- The restaurant at the Mercure hotel offers a buffet dinner, ranging from RMB 120-250 per person, with good taste.
- A private car from Da Nang city to Ba Na Hills costs about 300k VND one way, 600k VND round trip.
🏛️According to the exhibition pictures at the hotel, Ba Na Hills has been developed for over 100 years. When Vietnam was a French colony, Westerners began building structures on the mountain top. Ba Na Hills, as a beautiful cloud-top amusement park, is truly worth visiting❤️👍

Finding Peacefulness at Linh Ung Pagoda
I love traveling alone, especially when it takes me to exotic places so I can truly observe the local culture and make local friends.
I enjoyed visiting Linh Ung Pagoda as a solo traveler because of its zen gardens and the peaceful feeling it offers.
Linh Ung Pagoda is visible for miles and miles away since it was placed at a strategic location on Son Tra Peninsula. You can see Linh Ung Pagoda from as far as 40km away, because I can assure you I could see it clearly from An Bang Beach as well. Linh Ung Pagoda is quite new because it was built just 12 years ago.
I took a taxi to Linh Ung Pagoda since taxi is the best way to get around Danang. Taxi ride cost me just about 100.000VND and the driver offered to wait for me to take me back to the city. When I arrived at the Linh Ung Pagoda, I walked around bonsai trees and its multiple temples taking in the peacefulness and spending some time on my own.
Linh Ung Pagoda offers a spectacular view of Danang and the coastline for miles ahead. I visited Linh Ung Pagoda during great weather so I could even see the mountains that lay behind Danang City.
It is extremely nice to just sit down and relax with such spectacular view with the cooling breeze from the sea.
The sculptures and temples are built by a genius architecture because it’s just so beautiful and so perfect, a real masterpiece.
Enjoy the feeling of zen while visiting Linh Ung Pagoda 😊

Gorgeous Marble Statues and Panoramic Views
The Linh Ung Pagoda is one of the most famous attractions in Danang, a coastal city in Vietnam. While passing through this area on a 2 week journey travelling north to south Vietnam, this was definitely a highlight of our visit. Just walking up the steps to the main complex area, you'll find intricate marble carvings of dragons that pave the way in the direction you want to be heading - and these alone are stunning to look at. But on a hill on the Son Tra Peninsula, where the area is located, you will also find one of the tallest statues of the Goddess of Mercy - a huge statue, 67 meters tall, made of blinding white material.

Highest Lady Godness statue Linh Ung Temple Danang
Linh Ung temple is located in an area known locally as Bai But or Buddha’s Sanctuary on Son Tra Peninsula. It is very near to Danang city center which take about 15 mins to reach by taxi. But I suggest you to ask the taxi to wait for your and sent you back to city after your visit, as not easy to find taxi over there.
The temple is considered the most magnificent work in the central city of Da Nang in terms of architectural and artistic value. One of the main attraction to see here is the 67 meters Lady Buddha, Goddess of Mercy or Quan Yin Statue watching over the local fishermen at sea and 35 meters in diameter lotus, which is rated as a highest Buddha Statue in Vietnam.
If you want to learn more about Buddhism, you can go into the main building of this pagoda and discover many statues of different Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhats and a set of sculptural relief describing about the life of Shakyamuni. Next to the Lady Buddha Statue, there are steps down to a balcony where you can completely enjoy the stunning views and romantic sunset over Da Nang City. Going to this place at night, about 6-8pm you are able to watch the endless light stripe from Da Nang to Hoi An, illuminated statues and a number of fishing boats catching seafood.

I was overwhelmed by its overwhelming size!
In addition, Linh Ung Pagoda is located on the coast, has a great view, and the temple is pretty

During my visit to Da Nang, one of the most captivating moments was seeing the stunning Lady Buddha statue standing tall at the Linh Ung Pagoda. The peaceful atmosphere around the statue, the intricate details of its design, and the panoramic views of the city and ocean from the pagoda's location left me in awe.

We also saw a lot of people going inside to light incense and pray. One must respect and be quiet inside. It is really a magnificent view inside with the the golden statues. The view from here is also beautiful as you can see the city especially in good weather.
Tip: Be sure to take an umbrella or wear a cap as it is really hot on a sunny day.

🇻🇳Our Danang Diaries🇻🇳
“Linh Ung” itself means “wishes answered miraculously”. These two sentences means that if you pray sincerely inside the pagoda, all your wishes might come true,hence we did not miss the chance to visit this amazing sight even on our last day❤️We also made sure to wish while we were there.
The Lady Buddha can also be seen from the coast of Danang so we were able to see it everyday from our hotel by the beach, clear during the day and all lit up at night⭐️
On a beautiful sunny and clear day, the sight is stunning and worth it to visit.

It's not Sanya, but the shock comes from the highest Guanyin statue in Southeast Asia
The area around Da Nang is quite suitable for motorbike riding. After returning from Haiyun Ridge in the afternoon, I went straight to the Shan Cha Peninsula to watch the sunset, keeping busy without a break.
We watched the sunset on the Shan Cha Peninsula at a place called Lingying Temple. This temple, built with donations from the Chinese community, is the largest in Da Nang. Its location is very unique; from any angle of the temple, you can look down and see the sea.
The most famous feature of the temple is the tallest white jade Guanyin statue in Southeast Asia, standing 67 meters tall with a diameter of 35 meters. It's no exaggeration to say that I could see its figure from the hotel on Da Nang's Meixi Beach, truly a colossal presence.
Below is a summary of places worth visiting on the Shan Cha Peninsula:
✅ Basket Boat: Close to the Shan Cha Peninsula, you will pass a port where you can see a cluster of basket boats on the beach, which the Vietnamese call CANO. The origin of the basket boat, it is said, dates back to the Nguyen dynasty, when local fishermen invented it to avoid fishing boat taxes. These basket boats are said to be very suitable for nearshore fishing, can navigate through coconut groves, and even perform difficult maneuvers like drifting and circling.
✅ Mountain Gate: Following the steep stairs upwards, you soon reach the mountain gate. The gate is very Chinese in style, resembling temples in Fujian, with its eaves curling upwards and the carvings on the roof ridge vividly alive. Each archway is adorned with a couplet in Chinese characters, which we find very familiar, though most local Vietnamese probably don't recognize them.
✅ Daxiong Hall: Not far past the mountain gate is the main hall. The eaves of the main hall are made of green tiles, different from ordinary buildings, and blend perfectly with the natural backdrop of green pines. The main hall also looks simple and majestic, without too much intricate decoration. Four coiled dragon stone pillars support the entire hall, with dragons winding from top to bottom on the pillars, and the carving of the dragon's body and head is exquisitely detailed, reminding me of Quanzhou.
✅ Linglong Pagoda: Next to the temple on a higher ground stands a Chinese-style pagoda. This pagoda has 9 floors, each with 6 eaves, totaling 54 dragons, each one vividly alive, with Chinese characters and patterns visible everywhere. But just when you think you're still in China, the intrusion of Vietnamese characters brings you back to reality.
✅ Guanyin Statue: Of course, the most popular attraction in the temple is the white jade Guanyin statue, taller than a 20-story building. The statue backs against the mountain and faces the sea, with eyes looking down, overseeing all beings. One hand holds a lotus gesture, and the other a vase of nectar, symbolizing the sprinkling of peace water on fishermen at sea, turning fierce winds and giant waves into calm seas. She stands like a guardian deity, blessing Da Nang with peace and favorable weather.
Of course, in terms of refinement and scale, this Guanyin statue is still quite inferior to the Nanshan Guanyin statue in Sanya, but the atmosphere of Lingying Temple is better, without the heavy commercial vibe, and more of a devout atmosphere.

⭕ Note | You can park your motorbike at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and then you can walk up the mountain. Be aware that there are quite a few monkeys near the parking lot, comparable to Mount Emei, so it's best to carry a bamboo pole for protection.

For those going to Bana Hills, please come in|day-3 citywalk
Bana Hills is divided into 3 major areas, the upper level has French Village, Mercure Hotel, Fantasy Park; the middle level attractions include the Golden Bridge, Dream Garden, Wine Cellar (we can go together); the bottom is the cable car station.
🏠Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills / Mercure Hotel
📌European castle appearance, very retro hotel
📌The hotel has buffet service, lots of choices
📌You can use the room card to go to the indoor swimming pool, very comfortable! The pool is not in the same building, you need to walk a distance
🏰French Village
📌As soon as you walk out of the cable car exit, the European-style buildings and scenery that come into view are too shocking! Everywhere you take pictures looks good!
📌There is a church next to the hotel, both inside and outside are very spectacular, it should be the most characteristic building in the entire French Village
🎡Fantasy Park (Amusement Park)
This is the happiest place for children, included in the ticket, no need to buy another ticket. I just walked around, there was no time to queue up to play
🫴Golden Bridge
I came down from the mountain at 8 o'clock, there were so many people, and the wind was very strong. At that time, it was basically impossible to avoid the crowd, it was difficult to take pictures that came out
🌹Dream Garden
It has the feel of a European garden~ But you can learn some angles to take pictures without seeing the crowd
🍷French Wine Cellar
I walked through it all at once, you can taste the wine there, I forgot how much it was, but it's not too expensive. For those who don't know how to taste wine, they don't know whether it's good or bad when they drink it 😂
🙏🏻Lingfeng Zen Temple, Lingying Temple
Finally, you can climb to the commanding heights to overlook the entire panorama of Bana Hills🤩
📌The wind is very strong and cold at night, remember to bring a jacket
📌I suggest you stay there for two days and one night. When you go there in the morning on the first day, you can leave your luggage at the hotel, and then you can start to stroll around.

Lady Buddha Captured My Heart ❤️
#2024wish
Lady Buddha is the tallest Buddha statue in Vietnam.
It’s located at the Linh Ung Pagoda in Da Nang. The statue is equivalent to a 30 story building.
But the Lady Buddha is not the only spectacular site to see. As I walked around the courtyard, I also spotted a marvelously crafted dragon overlooking the Son Tra Sea.
I was so inspired by this dragon that I got a tattoo of it on my arm!
This place is magical with its sweeping views of the ocean and the faint site of the city of Da Nang in the background.
The next time you visit Vietnam 🇻🇳 don’t miss seeing the lovely Lady Buddha and her dragon in Da Nang!
