Description

️ Black Virgin Mountain – Cao Dai Temple – Cu Chi Tunnels Full-day guided adventure | Hotel pickup | Includes lunch 7:00 AM – Escape the city, ascend to the clouds Leave the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City behind as your day begins with a comfortable hotel pickup. Head North-West on a scenic 2.5 hrs drive to Tay Ninh province — home to the awe-inspiring Black Virgin Mountain (Ba Den), the highest peak in southern Vietnam at 986 meters. As you ascend the mountain by cable car, lush forests and panoramic landscapes unfold beneath your feet. At the summit, you’ll be greeted by the majestic Lady Buddha, a 72-meter-tall bronze statue recognized by World Guinness Records as the tallest of its kind in Asia. The view from above? Simply breathtaking. But that’s not all — you’ll also marvel at the striking Happy Buddha, crafted from over 6,600 pieces of sandstone. Towering at 36 meters high and inspired by Vietnam’s terraced rice fields, this smiling figure is said to transform sorrow into joy — a powerful spiritual presence atop a sacred mountain. ⏰ 12:00 PM – Discover a one-of-a-kind religion Next, step into the colorful, surreal world of Cao Dai Temple – Vietnam’s most unique spiritual blend. This remarkable religion combines Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and Confucianism into one. You’ll witness the noon prayer ceremony, a mesmerizing sight of worshippers in flowing robes, chanting in unison under the gaze of the all-seeing 'Eye of God.' ⏰ 12:45 PM – Local lunch experience Enjoy a fresh, delicious Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant — a perfect moment to relax, recharge, and chat about your experiences so far. ️ ⏰ 3:00 PM – Journey into the Cu Chi Tunnels Your afternoon takes a dramatic turn underground as you explore the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels — a 250-kilometer network that once housed guerrilla fighters during the Vietnam War. Crawl through narrow passages, discover hidden trapdoors, air vents, and underground kitchens that once rendered enemy technology useless. Learn how the Viet Cong survived — and outsmarted — some of the most advanced military tactics of the time. A powerful, immersive history lesson unlike any other. ⏰ 6:00 – 7:00 PM – Return to the city Reflect on a day of nature, culture, and history as you return comfortably to Ho Chi Minh City, with your camera full and your heart fuller.
