History Introduction of Ba Na Hills in Da Nang
Ba Na Hills was stumbled upon by a French captain named Debay who was looking for a suitable site to build a health resort. After that, the colonial government invested heavily in the place, turning it into a top holiday destination in central Vietnam. However, when Vietnam was convulsed in wars, Ba Na Hills eventually fell into oblivion. It was not until about a decade ago that the “Sleeping Beauty” awakened again to great fame.
According to some sources, “Ba Na” means “my mountain” in the language of Katu Hilltribe, the tongue of the local ethnic tribe. Some other explanations are less convincing but funnier. For example, it is claimed the place was full of banana plants when the French colonialists first found it so they called the place “banane”, the French word for banana. The Vietnamese then rendered it into the name Bà Nà.
