There is nothing much to do once you reach the top. There is an amusement park which is under construction. If hungry then you can have lunch at the restaurant. Some people stay overnight at the resort but it’s not worth it. As there is no activity plus accommodation is expensive.

Ba Na hills is a popular excursion from Da Nang and trip can be completed in half day if you start early in morning. The 20 minutes cable car ride will make visit to this place worthwhile.
Tips
- Start your trip early in the morning so that you can avoid the heat at least one way.
- Unless you want a very relaxed holiday, do no plan to stay at top. There is nothing much to do there.
- While returning it can be crowded near cable car entrance. So decide in advance how much time you want to stay and reach cable car entrance accordingly.
