First funicular in Vietnam constructed in BaNa Hills

BaNa Hills
The construction of the first funicular, or inclined railway, in Vietnam has been kicked off by Ba Na Service Cable Car Joint Stock Company in the central coastal city of Da Nang.
The inclined railway system, called Ba Na By Night, will have a total length of 380 metres and speed 5 metres per second, with capacity of about 80 passengers each cabin. It is built using technology of the Swiss ropeway manufacturer Garaventa.
Together with the launching of the Toc Tien Waterfall – Indochine telpher route with four Guinness World Records, the construction of the first funicular in Vietnam affirmed the uniqueness of the tourism development in Ba Na hills.
The Ba Na By Night inclined railway system is expected to be completed and operational in March 2014./.
