Australian Magazine: Sun World Ba Na Hills makes Da Nang more interesting for tourists

In a special edition released on July 16, Australia's leading travel magazine - Escape - delighted readers with images of the Golden Bridge and gave much praise to Da Nang and the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist area.

Five years since its launch, the Golden Bridge - a tourism icon of Vietnam - has continued to attract the attention of the international community. Recently, the bridge continued to "cause a fever" in the Australian tourism community when it appeared on two large pages of Escape - the country's leading travel magazine.

Specifically, the image of the Golden Bridge opens the article "Thrill and Chill" by author Ronan O'Connell, with the aim of selecting the top 5 cities worth visiting in Vietnam in 2023. Returning to Vietnam for the 14th time, during a month-long "roaming" trip across the S-shaped land, Ronan said that this country never ceases to surprise him and he voted for Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi , Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. In his article, Ronan especially praised Da Nang.

According to Ronan O'Connell, Da Nang is the most family-friendly city in Southeast Asia, second only to Singapore. "Da Nang is modern, clean, peaceful, has little traffic and is surrounded by stunning natural beauty. To the east is the sea and to the west are lush green hills," the writer described. Attractions such as Da Nang Cathedral, the Museum of Cham Sculpture, and APEC Park are all only about 3km from the beautiful beach.

During this trip to Vietnam, Ronan also commented that Vietnam's cities are developing rapidly and this "busyness" makes him want to find peaceful places to balance, true to the title of the article "Thrill and Chill". Therefore, besides choosing the top destinations, he also suggests to readers peaceful "oases" near those destinations. For Hoi An, it is My Son Sanctuary. For Hue, it is Lang Co Bay. And for Da Nang, Ronan chose Sun World Ba Na Hills.

Not only does it have many attractions, shopping and nightlife activities, Da Nang scores more points than other cities in the region, thanks to the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist area on the mountain, with many experiences suitable for the whole family.

Located at an altitude of about 1,500 m above sea level, Sun World Ba Na Hills is the place that "makes Da Nang more interesting for all visitors", commented Ronan O'Connell. Parents can experience golf at Bana Hills Golf Club, pray for peace at Linh Ung Pagoda with picturesque scenery and taste wine at the 100-year-old Debay Wine Cellar. Meanwhile, children will also be fascinated by Sun World Ba Na Hills when they can enjoy thrilling games, indoor rock climbing and visit the wax museum. Young people will find the most unique check-in photos at Le Jardin D'Amour flower garden, French village and Golden Bridge.

This is not the first time Sun World Ba Na Hills has been praised by the international community. At the 2022 World Travel Awards, the “Oscars of the tourism industry”, Sun World Ba Na Hills was honored as the World’s Leading Cable Car System and the World’s Leading Iconic Tourist Destination, while the Golden Bridge was honored as the World’s Leading Iconic Tourist Bridge.
