After cleaning up we took a taxi over to the part of town where Tien’s aunts live. We stopped for lunch before visiting the aunties. We were all hungry and the restaurant that Lam recommended delivered on that recommendation! The food was outstanding.
Jaedan had his fill of meat
We walked a couple blocks to where the Aunties live. It was full of good coffee shops according to Lam.
Group photo!
From the Aunties house we took a “Grab” car to the Ba Na Hills. It was about a 30 minute drive and took us out to see some of the countryside.
Our plans was to see the giant hands bridge. We had no idea they were part of a huge amusement park built on top of several mountaintops.
Everyone takes cable cars up to see the hands bridge at visit the amusement park.
What’u Lookin’ at?
The bridge is very beautiful, even if it’s all a bit artificial, an attraction in a much larger amusement park area.
You can see Da Nang off in the distance.
Um, that’s a Starbucks up here on top of a mountain in this huge amusement park complex. We barely saw any Starbucks in Vietnam.
Shelby is serious about riding the alpine coaster at SunWorld.
We had this running joke where one of us would say “There’s the Buddha” every time we saw the giant Buddha statue, which was a lot.
It’s beautiful with the sun setting.
One more trip to the bridge on our way to the giant Buddha.
“There’s the Buddha”
Spectacular!
Visiting Sunworld in the Ba Na Hills was like an episode of the twilight zone according to Caelan. It was so totally not what we were expecting and yet a tremendous amount of fun!
This was our last full day in Da Nang. We have 1/2 a day tomorrow in Ho Chi Minh City and then we head to Japan.
