The travel website Thrillist recently published an article listing the ten most spectacular cable car rides in the world, which included Ba Na.
According to Thrillist, the 5-km Ba Na cable line was built at a cost of USD39 million. Located just outside Danang, it got four listings in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2013 for the longest cable car line (5,771.61m); the highest difference in height between departure and destination (1,368.93m); the longest non-stop cable (11,585m) and the world heaviest cable rolls (141.24 tonnes).
Each car fits up to 35 passengers, and passes over a waterfall near the base station before gliding up Vong Nguyet Hill at a top speed of about 6 metres per second.
The Ba Na cable line was built by Austria’s Doppelmayr Cable Car and Switzerland’s CWA Construction Company, and became fully operational on March 29, on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of Danang's liberation.
Other cable car systems on the list includeed Hua Shan cableway in China, Grindelwald-Männlichen Gondola Cableway in Switzerland, Table Mountain Aerial Cableway in South Africa, Masada Cableway in Israel, Sugarloaf Mountain in Brazil, Aiguille du Midi cable system in France, Stanserhorn Cabrio in Switzerland, Timber Trail Cable Car in India and Ngong Ping Cable Car in China.
Recently, the Ba Na cable line was also voted among the top ten most amazing lines by the Telegraph.
