Begin the tour with a departure for Tay Ninh Province, an area near the Vietnamese-Cambodian border, to visit Black Lady Mountain, about 11 km northeast of Tay Ninh. We will take an exhilarating cable cart ride to reach the top of the mountain. The cable cart ride will provide you with a different perspective and view of this region. Black Lady Mountain spreads over an area of 24 km, reaches an altitude of 986m and consists of three main mountains. The mountain contains temples and caves that are used to house Buddhist monks and nuns. Here, the monks and nuns sustain their religious lives largely undisturbed.



After that, we will proceed to the Cao Dai Holy Temple, home to the unique Cao Dai sect, whose patron saints include Sun Yat-Sen, Victor Hugo and Nguyen Binh Khiem. The religion is a hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity.

Visitors travel in Vietnam are warmly welcomed at the Cao Dai Temple and may watch ceremonies and take photos from the galleries. Visitors are only asked to wear trousers or skirts covering the knee, remove their shoes before entering, and remain as quiet as possible during ceremonies. The noon ceremony always has the largest audience, since most visitors are day trippers from Ho Chi Minh City.

Note: When visiting Cao Dai Temple, please dress modestly and respectfully and remove your shoes before entering. It is also important to ask for permission before taking photos at this complex. Also bring hat, sunglasses and easy walking shoes. See more Temple mountain excursion Cao Dai temple lady mountain full day.
