Is There A Lot of Walking at Ba Na Hills?
Yes, visitors need to walk a lot to explore Ba Na Hills. Therefore, wearing comfortable shoes (sneaker, trainer,…) is one of the most important things to do before go to this theme park. It also means that high heels and flip-flops are not suitable.
In the base of Ba Na Hills, it’s needed to walk to the cable car station. The nearest station (Hoi An Station) is 500 meters from the main entrance. The distance to furthest station (Champa Station) is around 800 meters.
Around the top of Ba Na Hills, walking is the only way to go to almost all places. However, the main area French Village has flat streets and squares to stroll.
Attractions like temples (Linh Ung Pagoda, Nui Chua Summit) are accessible by foot. There is no escalator/elevator or train ride to reach them.
During the rainy season (October to January), visitors need to walk under the uncovered paths. The distance to cable car stations or other attractions can be longer.

How to Minimize Walking at Ba Na Hills?
Tip 1: Buy Ba Na Hills entrance ticket online in advance. It helps you to skip the line at the official ticket counters.
Tip 2: Get a wow pass (skip the line ticket). With this pass, you can use the elevator near the big TV screen inside Cong Thanh (the big gate) to go upstairs, and then walk on a flat way to the cable car station.
Tip 3: Take the cable car at Hoi An Station to go up Ba Na Hills because it’s the nearest station. Make sure that this Station opens on your day of travel.
If have wow pass, you will use a private elevator to go upstairs and take the cable car immediately then. After the cable car landing, can take escalator up to Golden Bridge, the place not to miss.
Tip 4: Do not go down to Le Jardin D’Amour Gardens and Debay Wine Cellar, if can not handle 2 steep slopes. There is no other ways than walking to access these places today. If skip them, go up to Bordeaux Station near Golden Bridge to reach French Village area and keep exploring.
Tip 5: Skip the Big Buddha and Linh Ung Pagoda if have problem with many stairs.
Tip 6: The quickest way to reach French Village from Golden Bridge is taking the cable car at Bordeaux Station. Meaning that do not take the funicular train at L’Jardin Station even you go pass by it while going from the gardens to the bridge.
Tip 7: Do not choose Four Seasons Restaurant for lunch. If like a buffet, choose Bharata Restaurant (Indian/Halal), Little Tokyo Restaurant (Japanese buffet), Arapang Restaurant (international buffet) or restaurants inside French Village (L’Etable, La Crique, Brasserie, Kavkaz, Kungfu Noodle, Lotteria, Bulgogi,…).
Tip 8: Skip Nui Chua Mountain Summit (King Peak) because of too many stairs.
Tip 9: Book a local guide. He or she knows well Ba Na Hills, including all paths and directions. Instead of checking online or asking the staff, you just need to talk with your guide to minize the walking during the day.
Tip 10: Prepare a good, comfortable shoes to wear on Ba Na Hills day.
Tip 11: If like seeing Lunar Castle, take the lava train from Mystery Well Station (to Dragon Den Station). To access it, walk into Arapang restaurant’s bulding, take the elevator to get down the lowest level, and then see the train immediately (skip the escalators!).
To return or get down from Ba Na Hills, use the lava train again.
