Ba Na makes top 10 list of most amazing cable cars

The Ba Na cable car route located in the central city of Da Nang has been ranked seventh among the top 10 most amazing cable cars in the world by US news station CNN.

The cable car route, which was put into operation in 2013, runs from the foot of Ba Na Mountain to the peak of the neighbouring Vong Nguyet Mountain.

It is the longest one line car cable in the world covering a distance of over five kilometres with a total of 86 cabins, which can each carry a maximum of ten people.

It takes visitors around 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain, which stands at 1,500 metres above sea level.

Sitting on the cable car, people can look down the Mo stream and admire the sceneries of beautiful primitive forests and waterfalls.

From the top of Ba Na Mountain, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of Son Tra Peninsula, Thu Bon River, Hoi An City and inner Da Nang.

Other top amazing cable cars on the list include Peak2peak Gondola (Whistler, Canada), Titlis Rotair (Mount Titlis, Switzerland), Mi Teleferico (La Paz, Bolivia), Sugarloaf Mountain Gondola (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Vanoise Express (Les Arcs, France), Palm Springs Aerial Tramway (California), Stanserhorn Cabrio (Lucerne, Switzerland), Skyline Queenstown (New Zealand) and The Ngong Ping 360 (Hong Kong).
