Vietnam - Ba Na Hills in Da Nang, Lazy Guide to the Buddha Hand Bridge

📍Address: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang (Tickets are required, senior citizens can purchase discounted tickets with ID verification) (Booking through apps is generally cheaper than buying on-site) ‼️ At the entrance, staff near the escalator will hand out a card that allows you to enjoy a free glass of Ba Na Hills beer 🍻 🚗 Transportation After arriving at the Ba Na Hills parking lot, take the dedicated shuttle bus to the ticketing and entrance area. 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: Ba Na Hills is quite large, but many areas are still under development. ‼️ If your ticket includes a buffet meal, it’s recommended to explore the area near the entrance first‼️ as all the restaurants are concentrated in that area. Leaving and returning for lunch later can be time-consuming. The park provides maps at various locations, but they can be hard to read due to the dense text and the park’s segmented layout. The overall route is not very intuitive. Near the entrance, there are paid games (like archery, bean bag toss to win toys) and small amusement rides (like a carousel). Most visitors take photos and move on, but if you want to eat, you’ll need to return to the entrance area. Personally, I only recommend visiting the Buddha Hand Bridge, watching the 5/6D movie, and enjoying the beer. However, the place is often crowded, and Ba Na Hills lacks shaded areas or cooling spots. If visiting during summer, be sure to prepare for sun protection. That said, the photos 📷 you can take here are truly stunning.
