The ticket applies to guests over 1.40 m tall, allows entry after 5:00 PM, and is valid only on the registered date.

What does the 986m Sunset Combo include?
The main appeal of the 986m Sunset Combo is that it combines a round-trip cable car ride and dinner in one ticket. Guests enter after 5:00 PM, take the cable car to Van Son Peak, explore the Ba Den Mountain summit area, and dine at Taste of Vietnam Restaurant during service hours..jpg "ba_den_combo_hoang_hon_986m (3).jpg")
This is a convenient option for travelers who do not want to start early in the morning but still want a compact itinerary: go up the mountain, enjoy the views, take sunset photos, have dinner, and return downhill in the evening.
Round-trip cable car to Van Son Peak
The combo includes a round-trip cable car journey to Van Son Peak. This route takes visitors to the Ba Den Mountain summit area, home to the 986 m marker, plaza, spiritual landmarks, and wide views over the Tay Ninh plains.
Guests should distinguish the Van Son Peak route from other cable car routes in the tourism area. If you want to add the Hang Pagoda route or any route outside the combo benefits, check whether the ticket you are buying includes it.
Dining at Taste of Vietnam Restaurant
With this combo, each guest chooses one of three dining options at Taste of Vietnam Restaurant:
- Beer & BBQ Combo.
- Three-Region Vietnamese Specialties Combo.
- Vegetarian Combo.
The restaurant serves from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Guests should schedule dinner before service is close to ending, especially on weekends or busy days..jpg "ba_den_combo_hoang_hon_986m (4).jpg")
This combo includes the announced dining set option and should not be assumed to be a buffet unless the ticket details clearly say so. When booking, check the combo name, dining benefits, and usage conditions on the correct sales channel.
986m Sunset Combo price and after-5-PM ticket types
The 986m Sunset Combo price should be checked against the ticket list available at the time of booking. Some after-5-PM price tables may show several options, including cable-car-only tickets and combos that add dining.
| After-5-PM ticket type | Common benefits | Booking note |
|---|---|---|
| Van Son Peak after-5-PM ticket | Cable car access to the Van Son Peak area | Usually does not include a meal unless clearly stated |
| 986m Sunset Combo | Round-trip Van Son Peak cable car and dining | Good for guests who want an evening visit and dinner at Taste of Vietnam Restaurant |
| Combo with added Hang Pagoda route | May include Van Son Peak, Hang Pagoda, and dining depending on ticket type | Confirm the exact combo name before buying |
Do not assume every after-5-PM combo is the same. Key differences often involve the cable car route, dining benefits, height conditions, adult or child pricing, and applicable dates.
Combo timing: after 5:00 PM and on the registered date only
The 986m Sunset Combo allows guests to enter after 5:00 PM. The ticket is valid only on the registered date and does not automatically move to another date if guests arrive late or change plans..jpg "ba_den_combo_hoang_hon_986m (1).jpg")
Because Taste of Vietnam Restaurant serves from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, guests should arrive soon after 5:00 PM. Arriving too close to 7:30 PM may leave too little time for transfers, sightseeing, and a relaxed meal.
Cable car hours, the last downhill ride, and the operating schedule may change by date, weather, events, or crowd levels. Before departure, recheck Ba Den Mountain cable car hours for your travel date to avoid missing the last ride down.
Suggested itinerary for the 986m Sunset Combo
For a late-day visit, keep the schedule simple and focus on key mountaintop stops. A sample itinerary could follow this order:
- Before 5:00 PM: arrive at the tourism area, park, and prepare your ticket code or required documents.
- After 5:00 PM: enter the gate, exchange tickets or scan the code, then go to the cable car station.
- Around 5:30 PM–6:30 PM: ride up to Van Son Peak, watch sunset, and take photos at suitable areas.
- Before 7:30 PM: have dinner at Taste of Vietnam Restaurant.
- After dinner: check the downhill cable car time and return to the station on schedule.
Guests traveling from Ho Chi Minh City or nearby provinces should add extra travel time, especially on weekends. If you arrive late, both the sunset experience and dinner time will be shortened.
What makes sunset at 986 meters worth planning for?
Ba Den Mountain's 986 m summit is one of Tay Ninh’s standout viewpoints. On clear days, late-afternoon light creates a beautiful backdrop for landscape photos, family shots, couple photos, and frames from the cable car cabin..jpg "ba_den_combo_hoang_hon_986m (2).jpg")
Sunset is usually at its best when visibility is good, clouds are not too thick, and the view is open. Guests can take photos near the 986 m marker, the summit plaza, or approved stopping areas. As the sky gets darker, the summit lights come on and create a different feel from a daytime visit.
Weather, however, cannot be guaranteed. Rain, low clouds, fog, strong wind, or operating changes can affect visibility. The combo provides service access under ticket conditions, but it does not guarantee a clear sunset view.
Who is the 986m Sunset Combo best for?
This combo suits guests who want to visit Ba Den Mountain late in the day and prefer not to buy the cable car ticket and meal separately. Young travelers, couples, small families, or guests looking for an after-work escape can consider the after-5-PM schedule.
Photo-focused travelers should monitor the weather closely before the trip. Sunset light can be beautiful, but there is less buffer time than in the morning; if you arrive late, you may not have enough time to both enjoy the views and dine within restaurant hours.
Families with young children or older adults should allow extra time to move between the gate, cable car station, sightseeing areas, and restaurant. Evenings are often cooler, but it is still best to avoid a schedule that is too close to the downhill ride time.
If you buy through an agent or ticketing platform, keep your ticket code, receipt, or confirmation message. If the listed benefits are unclear, ask before payment to avoid confusing an after-5-PM ticket, a dining combo, and a combo that includes another route.
