Bach Ma Mountain to open cable car service

A plan to build a 4,000m long cable car system for getting to the top of Bach Ma (White Horse) Mountain, proposed by the Song Da-Thang Long Co has been approved by the Thua Thien-Hue authorities.
Upon completion, the cable cars will serve tourists at the Bach Ma National Park in the province’s Phu Loc District, around 700km south of Ha Noi and 1,000km north of HCM City. Currently, the 20km path up the mountain is narrow and vulnerable to landslides.
The national park is the heart of a vast green forest running from the East Sea to the border with Laos, endowed with 2,147 flora and 1,493 fauna species, of which 27 plant varieties and 66 animals are listed in Viet Nam’s Red Book of endangered species.
