Ba Den Mountain
Núi Bà Đen
The highest peak in southern Vietnam (986 m), reached by a world-class cable car. The summit features a giant bronze statue and sea of clouds, and it is often visited together with the Cao Dai Holy See.
Located on the outskirts of Tay Ninh City, about 100 km from Ho Chi Minh City. A cable car built by Sun World takes you directly to the summit, where you'll find a roughly 72-metre bronze statue of the Three Western Saints and a giant Maitreya Buddha statue known as the “Compassionate Guanyin”. On clear days you can see clouds and the plains below. Halfway up the mountain is Linh Son Pagoda, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in southern Vietnam. A round-trip cable car ticket costs about 300,000–500,000 VND. Pilgrim numbers are very high from Lunar New Year through the Lantern Festival. It can be combined with the Cao Dai Holy See on the same day, as the two are about 10 km apart.
