5 BEST THINGS ABOUT TAY NINH

Tay Ninh, known as the “roof of Southern Vietnam,” boasts a range of captivating attractions, making it a remarkable destination for travelers. Here are five must-visit places in Tay Ninh:

Núi Bà Đen (Bà Đen Mountain)

Located in Thạnh Tân commune, Hoà Thành district, Tay Ninh City, Bà Đen Mountain stands at an impressive elevation of 986 meters, making it the tallest peak in Southern Vietnam. It’s a popular spot for adventurers and offers a refreshing escape from the lowland heat. As you ascend, the air becomes cooler, and from the summit, you can gaze upon the pristine landscape. The mountain also features beautiful gardens with picturesque settings for travelers to capture memories.

World’s Largest Cable Car Station

In January 2020, the Guinness World Records officially recognized Bà Đen Cable Car Station, part of the cable car system within the Bà Đen Mountain National Tourist Area, as the “World’s Largest Cable Car Station.” Covering a vast area of 10,959 square meters, the station operates the Vân Sơn cable car route, transporting visitors from the mountain’s base (Bà Đen Station) to its summit (Vân Sơn Station) with 113 cabins. This efficient system carries up to 8,800 passengers per hour, reducing the journey to Southern Vietnam’s rooftop to just 8 minutes, spanning a total length of 1,847 meters.

Asia’s Tallest Bronze Statue of Goddess of Mercy (Quan Âm)

Tay Ninh is home to the tallest bronze statue of the Goddess of Mercy (known as Quan Âm or Phật Bà in Vietnamese) in Asia. Located atop a mountain, this monumental statue set records both as the “Tallest Bronze Statue of Goddess of Mercy in Asia” and the “Tallest Bronze Statue of Goddess of Mercy in Vietnam.” This incredible work of art stands at an impressive height of 72 meters and was meticulously cast from over 170 tons of red bronze using advanced high-pressure mechanical engineering techniques.

Cao Đài Holy See

The Cao Đài Holy See, situated approximately 4 kilometers from Tay Ninh City in Hòa Thành district, is an iconic religious site.
