Description

Swap Saigon’s traffic for emerald rice paddies as you roll northwest to Tây Ninh. A 20-minute cable-car carries you above tropical forest to Black Virgin Mountain, a once-dormant volcano sacred to locals. Cool breezes and a 360-degree panorama greet you on the summit plateau. Follow your guide on a gentle walk to the giant laughing Buddha, a lotus-shaped pagoda and hidden war-time tunnels. Hear legends of Bà Đen—the “Black Virgin”—while sampling roasted peanuts grown on the volcanic soil. After a hearty lunch of mountain vegetables, descend for an afternoon of colour and chant. Cao Dai Holy See dazzles with rainbow-dragon columns and a kaleidoscopic ceiling. Arrive in time for the midday service, when devotees in white robes chant beside musicians playing bamboo flutes and gongs. Learn how this home-grown faith unites East and West before a relaxed drive back to Ho Chi Minh City.
