Mist threads through the pine forest as the cable car lifts out of the valley, and the city noise below becomes a distant memory. Between Da Nang’s coastline and the Lao mountains, Ba Na Hills sits cool at roughly 1,487 meters, where cloud and forest trade places all day long. The ride itself is the overture — a record-holding cable car that glides above waterfalls and craggy ridgelines, depositing visitors on a mountain of colonial ruins, manicured gardens, and quirky attractions.
