There are several cable car stations that service the enormous area of the Ba Na Hills; the one you need to aim for is the Hoi An Station, which takes you directly to the Golden Bridge.

>> How to get to Golden Hands Bridge?

Our suggested itinerary for Bana Hills :

• Hoi An Station -> Golden Bridge + Love Garden + Wine Cellar, Linh Ung Pagoda –> Bordeaux Station –> Louver Station –> French Village+ Amusement Park, Spiritual Zone –> L’indochine Station –> Danang

Entering the resort from Hoi An Station (05). Get to the lower level first, and walk on the Golden Bridge (20) before the crowds hit!  Once you are finished at the Golden Bridge, you can also visit Love Garden and Wine Cellar or ride the Funicular from Le Jadin Station (13) to D’amour Station (12). Finally, take the short cable car route from Debay Station (11) to Morin Station (29) and the French Village.

On your way out, don’t go through the lower level again. Instead, head to L’indochine Station (30) taking the long cable car straight to the ground floor. This way, you have the chance to ride the longest cable in the world on your way down (5.801m). But also, if it’s still daylight, enjoy the stunning waterfall that can be seen from this route.
