The Lunar Castle and the 2nd Ba Na Hills Funicular Ride
The Lunar Castle (Lau dai Mat Trang) is one of brand new buildings at Ba Na Hills’s French Village. From the cable car connecting the Golden hands bridge and the village, visitors can see it to the left. To get there, after landing, it’s needed to come to the Moon Square (Quang truong Anh Trang) and then follow the road to the right side. En route, the Giant man carrying a heavy stone is a popular stop for photos. Like the two hands of the Golden bridge, itself and the surroundings are constructed by fiberglass.
Instead of walking back, visitors can have a funicular ride that is the second in Ba Na Hills. First of all, let’s enter the Lunar Castle and then go downstairs to come to underground Hang Rong station (“the Dragon Den”). The ride will be around 10 minutes, and the train stops at Gieng Than station, inside the Arapang restaurant. After that, just go upstairs by escalators to return to outdoor areas.
Festivals and Celebrations in Ba Na Hills
Festivals and celebrations are organized in Ba Na hills all year round, in all seasons. Several times a day, visitors can come to the Dome square to witness outdoor performances carried out by European artists. After the show, the audience has the chance to take pictures with them. While wandering around, please ask the staff to check what available on the day and where to see. Due to bad weather, rainy or cloudy, the performances may be shut down without any prior announcements.
In the year, for more special celebrations, travelers should visit Ba Na hills in international and Vietnamese holidays or famous festivals of the world. By that, the experience in each one makes it different from previous and later ones. Decorations are unlike each other. Therefore, the hill station also draws second time travelers who repeat their visit alone, with friends, family or lover.
