Bà Đen mountain & cable car
The highest peak of the south (~986m) — a cable-car ascent through mist and cloud, with sunrise views across the southern plains.
Tây Ninhについて
Tây Ninh rises and settles — the province is crowned by Bà Đen, the southern-most high peak with a cable car climbing through cloud phenomena, and anchored by the vast white Cao Đài Holy See sprawling across a valley floor. Beyond the mountain and the temple lie the Dầu Tiếng lake and the rice plains that merge with the Mekong delta, and the incorporated Long An territory that stretches toward the wetlands.
Most travelers come for one or both: Bà Đen's sunrise and cable-car views, the Cao Đài Holy See's architectural grandeur and the famous noon ceremony (all in white). But stay longer and find serene lakes, the rice belt approaching the delta, and ethnic-minority mountain villages. The contrast — from peak to plain — is the province's quiet strength.
