Ba Na Hill or Ba Na Hills is a hill station and resort located in the Trung Son Mountains west of the city of Da Nang, in central Vietnam. The station, advertised as `the Da Lat of Danang province` by local tourism authorities, was founded in 1919 by French colonists. The colonists had built a resort to be used as a leisure destination for French tourists.
