Sun World Ha Long: A world of entertainment by the Heritage Bay

Located in the heart of Bai Chay—the most vibrant tourism hub of Quang Ninh—and just over two hours from Hanoi via a modern expressway, Sun World Ha Long has become a familiar destination for millions of domestic and international visitors.

Situated along the shores of Ha Long Bay—a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site—Sun World Ha Long not only opens up a diverse world of entertainment for all ages, but also plays a pivotal role in transforming the tourism landscape of this heritage city.

Sun World Ha Long is not merely defined as an amusement park, but as a multi-layered journey of experiences—where visitors can enjoy cutting-edge entertainment technology while immersing themselves in the essence of Eastern culture, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of a world heritage bay.

The park’s overarching theme is a harmonious fusion of nature and culture, modernity and tradition, global influences and Vietnamese identity. From ground to sky, from coastal spaces to hilltop vistas, each zone tells its own story—transforming every step of the journey into a seamless sequence of discovery, excitement, and fulfillment.

Spanning nearly 200 hectares, Sun World Ha Long is divided into two main areas: one side features Dragon Park and Typhoon Water Park, while the other is Sun Hill. These zones are connected by the Queen Cable Car—once recognized with two Guinness World Records.

More than just a means of transportation, this sea-crossing cable car offers a unique experience, unveiling spectacular panoramic views over Cua Luc Bay and turning the journey itself into a continuous flow of emotions—thrill, relaxation, and reflection.

Sun World Ha Long offers a truly multi-dimensional world of entertainment. At Dragon Park, more than 20 modern thrill rides built to international standards—such as “Speedy Dragon,” roller coasters, the free-fall tower, the “Cosmic Black Hole,” and the “Cyclone Ride”—present exhilarating challenges for adventure seekers.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Water Park recreates a vibrant tropical setting with 12 water attractions, making it one of the largest water parks in northern Vietnam. Families can enjoy refreshing moments together, from the lazy river and wave pool to a series of thrilling spiral slides.

On Sun Hill, the Sun Wheel—one of the tallest Ferris wheels in the world—has become an iconic check-in symbol synonymous with Ha Long. Beyond rides, Sun World Ha Long leaves a lasting impression with its cultural spaces atop the hill. The Japanese Garden, Koi Bridge, and Bao Hai Linh Thong Tu pagoda recreate the essence of Eastern landscape and architecture, offering visitors moments of tranquility and balance after high-energy experiences.

This seamless blend of modern entertainment and distinctive cultural landscapes transforms Sun World Ha Long into a captivating “world within a world,” appealing to visitors of all ages and generations.

Before the emergence of Sun World Ha Long, Bai Chay was primarily known as a familiar beach destination, bustling in the summer but gradually fading into quietness during the autumn and winter months. The introduction of the entertainment complex has completely transformed the area’s identity. Bai Chay has evolved from a seasonal destination into a year-round tourism and entertainment hub, where visitors can enjoy engaging activities regardless of the season or weather.

Within just a few years of operation, Sun World Ha Long has welcomed tens of millions of visitors, playing a significant role in positioning Quang Ninh among Vietnam’s leading tourism destinations. Beyond boosting service revenues, the park has created stable employment for thousands of local workers, while also elevating service standards and reshaping the tourism mindset—from small-scale, fragmented operations to a more professional and structured approach.

More importantly, Sun World Ha Long stands as a compelling testament to Sun Group’s mission of “bringing Vietnam to the world and bringing the world to Vietnam.” From Guinness World Record–holding structures and world-class rides to internationally standardized festivals and events, the destination has brought the image of Quang Ninh—and Vietnam as a whole—closer to global audiences. At the same time, it allows domestic visitors to experience entertainment offerings typically found only in world-renowned theme parks, right in their own country.

Today, when Quang Ninh is mentioned, alongside Ha Long Bay, Sun World Ha Long has become a defining symbol of dynamism, creativity, and innovation. The park not only brings joy and connection to visitors, but also embodies a sustainable development mindset: investing in high-quality infrastructure and tourism products to enhance the beauty of Vietnam, transforming places of potential into destinations that truly shine.

With Sun World Ha Long, that journey of “enhancing the beauty” is clearly realized—from a once-familiar coastal destination into the “entertainment heart” of northern Vietnam, elevating Quang Ninh onto the international stage and reinforcing Vietnam’s position on the global tourism map.
