It is no surprise that Pop Mart has made its way to Vietnam with the addition of a new attraction – Pop Mart Castle – after places like Pop Land Beijing became an absolute hit. Not forgetting the ongoing hunt for Labubus in Singapore that has fans queuing up for hours before the store opens, and even more recently, tilting claw machines to get these collectables.
The current exchange rate is S$1 = ~VND18,856.83 as of 25th November 2024.
To get to the Pop Mart Castle, hop on a roughly 2.5-hour direct plane ride from Singapore to Da Nang International Airport in Vietnam.
From there, you would have to book a private hire ride (from VND500,000), take a shuttle bus (from VND150,000) through a travel agency, or rent a motorbike (from VND500,000/day) if you’re an adventurous traveller. This journey will take close to 50 minutes and you’ll end up at Ba Na Hills.

Next, get on one of the world’s longest cable car rides to get to the summit where Sun World attractions, including the Pop Mart Castle, are located.
There are package deals for transportation to Sun World, including the cable car ride via Klook.

Located inside Sun World complex, which is South East Asia’s largest theme park, Pop Mart Castle is one of the latest and trendiest additions to their park.
Not just that, this Pop Mart store inside the castle is also Vietnam’s flagship Pop Mart store featuring 3 levels filled with every Pop Mart collection a collector could dream of.
If you’re worried about getting lost in this ginormous complex, look out for the life-sized Skull Panda figure on top of the castle’s entrance and you’ll know where to go. The castle’s architecture resembles a magnificent castle inspired by an old French village’s artistic and cultural features.

And doubles up as a beautiful spot for IG pictures.
Inside, it is designed with vibrant and whimsical visuals with interactive art installations that tie in with the aesthetic and themes of popular collections like Molly, Skullpanda, Labubu, and Hirono, making it a fun experience for visitors.
Not forgetting the most important part of being in Pop Mart, shopping for exclusive, limited-edition collectables, some of which are collab pieces with local Vietnamese artists.
There are an additional 300 special items here too, like Zimomo Lava (VND1,120,000), Mega Royal Molly x Changshana.DunHuang (from VND5,420,000), and HIRONO Reshape (VND2,520,000).
The Pop Mart Castle in Vietnam is the first-of-its-kind Pop Mart store atop the enchanting Sun World Ba Na Hills. With the unique space that incorporates museum-like displays of beloved Pop Mart characters and a store, it is a dream destination for fans.
Whether you’re a Pop Mart enthusiast or looking for a unique experience, this is a must-add to your Ba Na Hills itinerary when visiting Vietnam.
