Bobbing Ba Na

Discovered by the French in 1901, Ba Na was built into a famous resort in Indochina at that time. In 1919, the French colonists established a hill station at the summit of Ba Na. In recent years, a tourism resort has been re-established at the site with hotels and guesthouses. Each one has its own flower garden with many types of aristocratic flower that Frenchmen left.

A modern system of cable cars helps the visitors get a spectacular view, very miraculous and attractive while enjoying a feeling of flying in the blue sly amidst the clouds and wind. All worries of life will likely disappear, giving place for pleasures and happiness. Ba Na is now a famous tourist site in central Vietnam.
