24/01/2019 - 02:11 PM
Tay Ninh is in the northwest of Saigon and serves as the headquarters of Caodaism, one of Vietnam's most interesting indigenous religions. The area's dominant geographic feature is Black Lady Mountain and the eastern border is formed by the Saigon River. The Vam Co River flows from Cambodia through the western part of the province.

What to do?
Cao Dai Temple (Cao Dai Holy See): Established in 1926, is 4km east of Tay Ninh in the village of Long Hoa. Its doctrine is an east-west mix said to have been communicated through seances by famous spirits such as Shakespeare and Lenin. The Cao Dai symbol, an all-seeing eye, and the temple decor in general are colorfully garish. A visit to this sacred temple is usually combined with Cu Chi Tunnels exploration.

Black Lady Mountain is 15km northeast of Tay Ninh and was used as a staging area by both the Viet Minh and the VC as well as the scene of fierce fighting during the French and American Wars. If you like more exercise, a walk to the summit is very interesting. Otherwise, having fun with chair lifts that shuttle the pilgrims up and down the hill.

Travel Tips
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.
