Da Nang - Ba Na Hills

We did a day trip to the Ba Na Hills which are a sight close to the city of Da Nang. They are essentially another crazy amusement park on a mountain created by Sun World, just like Fansipan (see our Sapa - Fansipan footprint). To get there, we took a taxi and happened to have a driver who had to talk so much that he had to slow the taxi down occasionally to finish a point. But we did eventually get there and made our way up to the mountain by cable car. Shortly after arriving up there, we made our way to the brewery where they were looking for participants in a competition. Marina then convinced Josef that the guy was calling him up and whereupon he made his way to the front without realizing what was happening yet. Once he was there, the field of contestants was complete and the competition began. Every contestant was given a Mass of beer and the one who drank it the fastest would become the winner. Josef obliterated the, at best mediocre, competition and was named beer king, had to take a seat on a throne and was given a cape and a crown. Also, he won 1 kg of french fries, which, together with the 2 vouchers for a beer we each got at the entrance to the park, served as a little lunch for the five of us. After that, we spent the rest of the day walking through the park and the many photo ops for taking pictures before making our way back to Da Nang.Læs mere
