Korean tourists rate Ba Na as one of the best places to explore in Da Nang because there are so many attractive places,” Jeong Sang-hee wrote. It seems that in Ba Na, the cultural quintessence of European countries is converging. Visitors can feel the atmosphere of many different European countries such as France, Germany, Italy.
