Location of Dragon Park Ha Long and The Vibrant Bai Chay “Vibe”

Dragon Park is the crown jewel of the Bai Chay Ward, which is the main and most vibrant tourist center of Ha Long City. Its prime location makes it incredibly easy to access and a central part of the city’s entertainment scene. The park is more than just a collection of rides; it is a beautifully designed and immersive experience.

The park is located directly on the mainland, just a short 10-minute taxi ride from the Tuan Chau International Port and a comfortable 2.5 hours from Hanoi. Spanning a massive 40 hectares, the park is beautifully designed along a central axis. As you enter, you are greeted by majestic fountains that lead you on a path towards the most intense roller coasters at the far end, passing through beautifully themed gardens and relaxing rest zones with clear English signage.

Dragon Park connects seamlessly to the other parts of the Sun World complex. You can easily walk or take a shuttle to the Typhoon Water Park and the Queen Cable Car station, making it easy to experience everything.

A Thrill-Seeker’s Checklist: Rides with World-Class Engineering

For our guests who love an adrenaline rush, Dragon Park is a true paradise. It is the only theme park in all of Vietnam that features roller coasters with B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard) technology, a world-renowned Swiss company that is famous for creating the smoothest and most thrilling coaster experiences on the planet.

These are the rides that will get your heart pounding and leave you breathless with excitement.

The “Phi Long Express” (The Flying Dragon): Get ready for an incredible ride! This is Asia’s longest roller coaster, with a track that is over 1.1 km long. It is a high-speed thrill that reaches speeds of 105 km/h and takes you through massive loops that will give you a split-second, breathtaking, upside-down view of the entire Hạ Long Bay.
The Rhino Sling (Tê Giác Cuồng Nộ): This is a giant and powerful pendulum ride that will swing you a full 120 degrees into the air, all while rotating at high speeds.
The “Death Wheel” (Monster Spin): This is a ride that beats all its competitors! Unlike standard spinning rides that you might be used to, this incredible attraction has no fixed spinning position. Riders are spun unpredictably in all directions—up, down, and sideways—creating a unique and thrilling sense of weightlessness.
The Crazy Crane: This is a massive drop tower ride that slowly lifts you high into the sky, giving you a stunning panoramic view of the iconic Bai Chay Bridge and the bay, before dropping you in a thrilling “free-fall” that will take your breath away.

Fun For The Whole Family: The “Low-G” Whimsical Adventures

For those who prefer a gentler and more relaxed pace, or for families with younger children, Dragon Park has wonderful and beautifully themed dedicated family zones. (Please note that most of the children’s rides require a minimum height of 1 meter). These are the attractions that will bring a smile to everyone’s face.

The Tour de Paris: This is a charming and delightful miniature train ride that gently winds its way through beautiful gardens and past lovely replicas of the Eiffel Tower and other European landscapes.
The Royal Carousel: This is not just any carousel; it is a massive, stunning, two-story “Royal Carousel”—the only one of its kind in all of Vietnam. During the day it is beautiful, but after sunset, it becomes a glowing, magical masterpiece that is perfect for taking beautiful photographs.
The Elephant Falls: This is a fun water-splash ride that is perfect for cooling off during the hot and humid summer months (from March to August).
The Mystic River: This is a peaceful and relaxing boat ride that takes you on a gentle journey through the park’s lush, green, and beautifully themed gardens.

Combining Your Visit With The Queen Cable Car & Sun Wheel

Among the many wonders of Dragon Park Ha Long, the mighty Dragon’s Run Roller Coaster stands out as the crown jewel.

To truly experience the full and spectacular wonder of the Sun World complex, you must take the journey across the bay to the top of Ba Deo Hill (also known as Mystic Mountain). This is an essential part of the experience, offering the most incredible views in all of Ha Long.

The Queen Cable Car (A Guinness World Record Holder!): You will ride in the world’s largest double-decker cable car, with a massive cabin that can hold up to 230 people! The spectacular 2km ride over the Cua Luc Bay is an incredible experience, especially at night when the city is all lit up.
The Sun Wheel: Perched 215 meters above sea level, this is one of the world’s highest Ferris wheels. A ride on the Sun Wheel gives you the absolute “best seat in the house” for breathtaking, 360-degree views of the bay’s magnificent night lights.
The Samurai Slide: For a bit more of a thrill, you can try this high-speed alpine coaster that winds its way through the beautiful Zen Garden area at the top of the hill.
