Experience the Queen Cable Car and View Ha Long from Above

Going to the Queen Cable Car is an exciting journey that lets you "fly up" and admire the wonders of Ha Long. With a view from the modern glass cabin, you will enjoy a panoramic view of the vast blue sea, the majestic limestone mountains, and the famous tourist spots of the bay city.

Where is the Queen Cable Car located?

The Queen Cable Car is located in Bai Chay, part of the Sun World Ha Long Complex entertainment area. Tourists just need to look towards the Sun World Ha Long park to see the towering tower - the starting point of the cable car. This is the place where you "take off" for the "flights" that take you across the sea straight to the top of Ba De.

Note that during the peak tourist season in Ha Long, you need to go early to avoid spending too much time waiting in line. A little preparation will bring a much more comfortable experience.

The records of the Queen Cable Car

Not just a simple means of transportation for sightseeing in Ha Long, the Queen Cable Car has also drawn global attention for 2 Guinness records:

  • The largest two-story cabin in the world
  • The highest cable car tower in the world at the time of its launch

When stepping into the cabin, you will feel like you are inside a giant glass globe hanging in the sky. The space is surrounded by glass, creating a sense of openness, maximum visibility, and satisfying the eye. With every meter you move, tourists will witness the change in perspective, from the bustling city of Ha Long to the gentle bay surface or the vibrant entertainment complexes.

The cable car sightseeing journey

The Queen Cable Car route starts from the Ocean Station (Bai Chay) to the Moon Station (top of Ba De). The total length is 2.2km. The distance may seem short on the map, but it is long enough for you to experience a completely different perspective - looking down at Ha Long from above.

The higher you go, the smaller the city below becomes. The winding roads are soft. The anchored boats line up quietly along the shore.

In the distance towards the horizon is the majestic Ha Long Bay with hundreds of large and small islands creating splashes of color in the blue sea. It is a rare moment when tourists can admire Ha Long from above instead of the usual views.
