Cable Cars in Vietnam

Ba Den Mountain is the highest peak in southern Vietnam at 986 metres, rising sharply from the flat Tay Ninh plain and visible for 50km in every direction. A major Buddhist and Cao Dai pilgrimage site with three cable car lines, a 72-metre bronze Lady Buddha statue, and trekking trails through forest to the top.

Bà Nà Hills is a French-era mountain resort above Đà Nẵng reached by a cable car system that often passes through low cloud at 1,487 metres - home to the Golden Bridge, the French Village, and one of the most dramatic cable car rides in Southeast Asia.

Fansipan - the Roof of Indochina at 3,143m - is Vietnam's highest peak. Two ways to the summit: cable car (15 min, world's longest 3-rope gondola at 6,292m) or 2-3 day trek through ancient cloud forest. Buy tickets on Klook to skip the queue.

Hòn Thơm Cable Car is the world's longest non-stop three-rope cable car - 8km across open sea from Phú Quốc's southern tip to Hòn Thơm island, crossing at up to 174 metres above the water with panoramic views of the southern archipelago, fishing villages, and on clear days the sea floor visible below.

The Vinpearl Cable Car is marketed as one of the world's longest over-sea cable cars - a 3,320-metre gondola crossing from the Nha Trang mainland to Hòn Tre Island, with aerial views over Nha Trang Bay, the city skyline, and the surrounding islands at around 50 metres above the water, reachable with an inexpensive cable-car-only ticket if the theme park beyond it doesn't interest you.
