South East Asian Trips

Location: Tay Ninh, Vietnam

Ba Den Mount is a well-known landscape of Tay Ninh, highest in South Eastern (986 m). The mountain is formed by granite and granodionite... ; therefore the mount is rather sharp and sloppy with three heights: Ba Den (986m), Phung Mount ( 372m) and Heo Mount (335m). There is possibility of setting a resort Centre on top of Ba Den Mountain.

Ba Den Mountain is also called Black Lady Mountain. According to legends, beautiful Ly Thi Thien Huong, Black Lady, was forced to marry the son of a rich mandarin while she fell in love with a poor man who was fighting the aggressors. Rather than marrying a man she did not love, she threw herself from the mountain.

Ba Den Mountain Spring Festival in lunar new year, cable car system to the mountain top, the first one in Vietnam, majestic landscape, fresh air and along with system of natural lakes, caves and forest and cultural villages, all has made Ba Den Mountain become an attractive tourist site luring about 1 million visitors coming every year.

Several shrines and pagodas were built in the mountain as well as in the caves. Ba and Hang Pagodas attract many pilgrims during the New Lunar Year and Vu Lan Festivals.

Detailed plan of the Tourist Centre was approved by Tay Ninh People's Committee in June, 1999.
