Touring Ba Na in a different perspective (27/10/2011)
|
|
Taking a tour of the peak of Ba Na Mountain in Danang City,
visitors often follow a designated route that takes in the Linh Ung Ba
Na Pagoda, the huge half-finished recreational complex on top of the
mountain and the old suspension bridge over a stream that no longer
exists.
Still, there is another place of interest there for curious tourists to
drop by. That is the remnants of a villa built by the French. Early in
the 20th century,Inside the French-built villa that was destroyed in wartime
French colonialists constructed hundreds of villas as vacation retreats
on the peak of Ba Na, which is nearly 1,500 meters above sea level. All
of them were destroyed in wartime.The fireplace in the villa
Along the way up the mountain on a cable car, one can see the vestiges
of some old luxurious French-built estates nestled in the thick jungle.

Halfway to the Linh Ung Ba Na Pagoda, visitors should turn right when
they meet a T-junction, go up, then turn left just behind an abandoned
building, and follow a narrow pathway until they see the remnants of a
French-built villa. The visit to this structure is even more interesting
if visitors are accompanied by a tour guide who can tell a story about
what the French did in the past and what has been and will be developed
in the entire area on the peak of the mountain that has become a
must-see destination in Danang.
