Ba Na Hills Winter Festival 2026: Snowy Wonderland Guide & Ticket Prices
1. European Winter Wonderland on Mount Chua
Stepping away from the golden sunshine of summer, Ba Na Hills in winter drapes itself in a mystical shroud of rolling clouds and fog drifting through ancient Gothic church towers. The entire French Village and Eclipse Square are lavishly decorated with tens of thousands of glittering ornaments, giant pine wreaths, and sweet-scented gingerbread houses.
It is no surprise that this mountaintop resort tops the list of the best places to celebrate Christmas in Da Nang and Hoi An, offering an unforgettable festive atmosphere for families and couples alike.
2. Must-Try Experiences at the Winter Festival
Check-in at the Giant Christmas Tree & Snow Palace
At the heart of Convergence Square, a magnificent Christmas tree towering over 20 meters tall is illuminated by millions of color-changing LED lights. At scheduled times throughout the day, high-tech snow machines release flurries of white snow drifting through the air, creating a picture-perfect European holiday scene.
Chasing Winter Clouds on the Golden Bridge
During the autumn and winter months, the Golden Bridge plays hide-and-seek amidst thick, rolling seas of clouds. Check out our insider Golden Bridge photography guide to avoid the crowds during the early morning or late afternoon for the most breathtaking shots.
Enjoy World-Class International Circus Shows
A talented troupe of European artists performs spectacular ice skating routines, Christmas ballets, and lively Carnival parades in vibrant costumes, bringing endless joy to children and adults alike.
Indulge in the Winter Food Market & Warm German Beer
In the crisp, chilly mountain air, nothing beats savoring freshly grilled German sausages, a steaming cup of spiced mulled wine (Glühwein), or a bowl of hot pumpkin soup right next to a cozy fireplace.

Your professional driver will pick you up directly from your hotel lobby, drop you off right at the cable car entrance (Hoi An / Suoi Mo station), and wait patiently in the parking lot to bring you back in warm comfort after a magical day of exploration.
