Its name
Bà-nà or
Pà-nà (old) in
Kinh text originated from the
Cham language,
Po Inu Nagar. This area was the place to worship the most important
goddess of the
Champa tribes in the past, that is the time before the
Islamic era. The station, advertised as "the
Da Lat of Danang province" by local tourism authorities, was founded in 1919 by
French colonists, and later expended by
Sun Group. Being located 1,500 metres above sea level, it has a view of the East Sea and the surrounding mountains. Due to the elevation of the resort, the temperature is cooler than the environment near the coast.
Linh Ứng Temple is situated near the station, with a
cable car nearby to carry tourists to and from the resort. == Culture ==
