Ba Na Hills: Europe’s Media Calls It Southeast Asia’s Most Exceptional Destination

Leading travel magazines across Europe — from the Netherlands, Belgium, France, to Finland — have praised Sun World Ba Na Hills. Many journalists describe it as “the most remarkable stopover in Southeast Asia.” They were especially impressed by the breathtaking cable car ride and the iconic Golden Bridge.

Da Nang: A Rising Star on the Global Map

According to the Da Nang Statistics Department, the city welcomed 12.8 million visitors in the first eight months of 2025. Among them, 5 million were international travelers, marking a 23.4% growth from last year.

European tourists are particularly fond of Da Nang. Writers from the Netherlands to Turkey call it “an unmissable stop on any Vietnam journey.” The city blends culture, architecture, and nature in a way that fascinates Western visitors.

In Azië & Down Under Magazine (Netherlands), journalist Mark Lieffers described Da Nang as:

“A city where tradition and modernity walk hand in hand, where past and future share the same glowing skyline.”

Ba Na Hills: A Fairytale in the Clouds

Standing 1,414 meters above sea level, Sun World Ba Na Hills is often called “a paradise among the clouds.” The cable car ride isn’t just a means of transport. It’s a world-class engineering marvel, holding multiple Guinness World Records.

Lieffers described the experience as “flying into another world.” Similarly, TourMaG (France) called it “a ritual of emotions,” where travelers escape city noise and step into a surreal landscape where architecture and nature blend perfectly.

At Ba Na Hills, Ayşe Akalın from Aviation Turkey called it “a fairytale realm within reality.” Meanwhile, Belgium’s TravMag compared it to “a mirror reflecting Europe through a dreamlike lens.” The place combines French romanticism and Vietnamese softness, creating “a fairytale world above the clouds.”

Ba Na’s changing weather adds even more charm. Akalın wrote:

“Morning feels like spring. Noon shines like summer. Afternoon breezes whisper of autumn. Night brings a touch of winter.”

Here, every hour feels different. Time seems to pause, letting travelers savor each moment in their own rhythm.

A Destination Full of Wonder

Ba Na Hills has everything visitors love — Instagram-worthy views, European-style villages, and endless fun.

Attractions include the French Village, Fantasy Park, and Ba Na Brewhouse, the highest-altitude brewery in Vietnam. Cobblestone streets, the St. Denis Church, lively squares, and street shows fill the area with joy.

According to Aviation Turkey, this harmony of landscape, architecture, and entertainment makes Ba Na Hills one of Southeast Asia’s top destinations.

The Golden Bridge: A Global Icon

The Golden Bridge remains the centerpiece of Ba Na Hills. It has become a symbol of Vietnam’s tourism and a global media sensation.

Floating gracefully among the clouds, the 150-meter-long bridge curves like silk. Two giant stone hands rise from the mountains, gently lifting it skyward.

The Finnish magazine Ikkunpaikka called it “a wonder beyond imagination.” TourMaG described it as “a scene from a dream.” Aviation Turkey said it felt like “a mythical giant holding the bridge in his palms.”

Where Asia and Europe Meet Above the Clouds

European journalists agree: Sun World Ba Na Hills is a must-visit in Da Nang. After relaxing by the beach and tasting Da Nang’s local cuisine, visitors can ride to the mountain peak for a surreal experience.

Up there, Asia and Europe meet among the clouds, blending cultures, architecture, and emotions into one unforgettable journey.
