The Hon Thom cable car on Phu Quoc Island is one of the highlighted systems.
Spanning almost eight kilometers, the cable line is the longest sea-crossing cable car in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
“The cable car ride, supported by a three-rope sea crossing system, boasts surreal views of local fishing villages and colorful boats, the An Thoi archipelago, and coral reefs, over a journey spanning 15-20 minutes,” Travel + Leisure said.
A journey through lush forests and misty clouds
Also included on the list is the Ba Na Hills cable car, which links the lowlands of Da Nang to the summit of Nui Chua at a height of almost 1,500 meters above sea level.
The cable line, which is over five kilometers long, provides expansive views of lush forests along mountain slopes.
The magazine described the route as a journey through “dense primary forests and rugged mountain peaks,” before reaching the cool climate on top of Mount Chua.
