Beautiful Vietnam
French Village’ opens to tourists at Ba Na Mountain

Located about 45 kilometres west of Danang – Ba Na Mountain – nearly 1,450 metres above sea level, was once the location of a luxury resort village with 200 French-styled villas, hotels, a market, opera house and stadium.

It was built by French colonialists in 1901 for military officials and high-ranking civil servants but was destroyed during the 1945 August Revolution.

Until recently there wasn’t much left of the resort but the remains of a few French villas with moss covered walls and some well-trodden pathways.

However all that has changed as investors have now completed and opened a US$70-million restoration project, which is destined to become a top travel destination of Vietnam.

The ‘French Village’ spans six-hectares and is replete with 20th-century French-styled castles, houses, a hotel, shopping mall, restaurants and indoor theme park.

Here are some images of the beautiful village we hope you’ll enjoy:
