They live in groups with an average size of 4 to 15, but groups of up to 50 have been recorded in Bana Hills. A group usually consists of one or more males and approximately two females per male.

Up the hills, you are impressed by the Alps in France. No, it is Bana and the castle looks like a French village. The cobblestone streets and European-style buildings are remarkably well-built considering that this resort is in Vietnam and at an elevation of 1,500 meters.

This museum is as creepy as it’s interesting. Have you ever wondered what your idol or the most famous people stand here and look like up close? Yes, in the Ba Na Hills Wax Museum, you get to see some statue that is the same as the real person in hair, height, clothe… And don’t forget to selfie with them.

5. Riding the pipe mountain coaster

Save the rides in the Fantasy Park for later and head to the Alpine Coaster first while it’s still daytime. The cars can drive up to 35 km/h, it is crazy when passing the hill but you don’t worry, the car control by its own braking system so we can go as slow or fast as we want.

Most of the restaurants can be found in the French village quarter, Fantasy Park. Eating and drinking are a grave art of life, a motto we adhere to fully and completely.
