Sun World Ha Long
Sun World Hạ Long
The 'Queen Cable Car' spanning the mouth of Ha Long Bay and the giant 'Sun Wheel' Ferris wheel on the summit, plus Dragon Park and Typhoon Water Park; a family and night-view destination in Ha Long city.
Sun World Ha Long Park opened in 2016, developed by Sun Group, and is located on Bai Chay seafront. It has two parts: a seaside area and a mountaintop area. The seaside area has Dragon Park, with more than 20 attractions including roller coasters and drop towers, and Typhoon Water Park, which is open in summer. The 'Queen Cable Car' crosses about 2 km of the Ha Long Bay mouth to Ba Đèo mountain on the opposite side. This double-deck cable car once set world records for cabin capacity (230 people) and pylon height (188 m), and from the air you can see Ha Long Bay, Bai Chay Bridge and the city skyline. On the summit are the 'Sun Wheel' Ferris wheel, 215 meters in diameter, where one rotation takes about 20 minutes and the city and bay look spectacular at night, along with a Japanese Zen garden, a wax museum, a dinosaur park and indoor play areas. Indicative prices: Queen Cable Car (including the Ferris wheel) about 380,000 VND, children about 280,000 VND; Dragon Park about 300,000 VND; Typhoon Water Park about 350,000 VND. Cable car hours are roughly 14:00–20:00 on weekdays and 09:00–20:00 on weekends and holidays, varying by season, so check the official website before you go. It is recommended to go up in the late afternoon to see the sunset and the Ferris wheel at night; the whole visit takes 2–3 hours. Getting there: the park is on Bai Chay seafront boulevard, about 10 minutes by car from the cruise pier. Note: the cable car stops in strong winds or thunderstorms; it is windy at the top, so dress warmly in winter; queues for the Ferris wheel are long in peak season.
