2. The Ba Na cable car The cable car system at Sun World Ba Na Hills stands as Vietnam's largest, securing four Guinness World Records for its remarkable dimensions: length, height, gradient, and weight. This monumental achievement is the result of a decade-long effort by more than 200 workers. Having a four-sided glass design, this cable car offers passengers an immersive experience, allowing them to bask in refreshing breezes while being treated to awe-inspiring vistas of the sky and forest. A long the way, you'll encounter a tapestry of natural wonders, including the Toc Tien Stream, the Ba Do Phot Waterfall, etc. Despite its brevity, lasting about 20 minutes, this aerial journey promises an unforgettable experience, making every moment worthwhile. The cable car ride offers its most enchanting views around 5:00 pm. As the day wanes, the sky transforms into a captivating palette of warm oranges, with the sun gently slipping behind the clouds, casting a romantic ambiance. However, it's important to be aware that the service ceases at 6:00 pm, and that the return journey tends to be quite crowded.

This way, you can leisurely soak up the picturesque surroundings and sidestep the bustling crowds. Here are some important considerations for your cable car ride in Ba Na Hills:

• Health concerns: Due to the effects of high altitude on breathing, individuals experiencing any health issues such as rapid heart rate or dizziness are advised to abstain from the ride.
• Dress warmly: As temperatures can drop after 5:00 pm, it's highly recommended to carry a jacket to stay comfortable and ward off the chill while exploring Ba Na Hills.
• Beverage choice: To prevent spillage during the journey, opt for bottled drinks over those served in cups, ensuring a mess-free and enjoyable experience.
• First-time riders: If it's your voyage on a cable car and you're apprehensive about motion sickness or dizziness, it's advisable to stay seated and minimize movement inside the cabin.
