Around 35 hectares of land will be used for the project in Hoa Binh. Seventeen hectares in Hoa Binh will be used for the construction of a station, restaurants, hotels and wharves. Meanwhile, 18 hectares in Hanoi will be used for building a station, office area and technical facilities.

The project, which is expected to become operational in 2024, will shorten travel time between Huong Pagoda and Tien Pagoda from a 60-minute drive to a ten-minute cable car ride.

The cable car route would have a capacity of 1,500 passengers every hour.
