Itinerary

  • Cao Dai Temple

    We will first head to Cao Dai Holy Temple in this tour. This temple includes complex houses, administrative offices, and residences for officials and adepts and also a hospital of traditional Vietnamese herbal medicine that attracts people from all over the south for treatments. Cao Dai Temple is surprising you with its colorful decoration on the wall, ceiling and the pillars. The temple is home to Cao Dai sects who practice a unique hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    Have lunch at a local restaurant then proceed to Black Lady Mountain, approximately 11 kilometers to the Northeast of Tay Ninh, an area near the Vietnamese - Cambodian Border. Black Lady Mountain consists of three major mountains covering an area of 24 kilometers and reaching an altitude of 986 meters. Conquering the 986-meter-high mountain, the highest in the nation’s southeastern region, might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The beautiful temples and caves at Black Lady Mountain used to house Buddhist monks and nuns remain largely undisturbed. Soaring on the cable car, we can take a panoramic view of a waterfall under the glistening sun, mysterious caves and dense forest. However, if visitors do not want to go by cable car, they can trek to the top of the mountain.

Very interesting experience

Published on Sep, 2022

We had a wonderful trip to the Cao Dai temple and Ba Dem mountain. Our guide, Hahn, was extremely knowledgeable- there wasn’t a question I asked that she didn’t have an answer for and I ask a lot of questions. It’s a long drive but we rode in comfort there and back. This seems like it isn’t one of the top tourist destinations in HCMC but the experience, especially the Cao Dai temple, was my favorite of our time there. My husband and I highly recommend this tour.

Remarkable Beauty

Published on Jun, 2022

The Cao Dai Temple is beyond beautiful! We entered the Temple after the worshippers and sat cross-legged on the floor behind the congregation for the 45-minute service. Their religion combines elements of other religions. After the service we went to lunch followed by a cable car ride up the mountain to the Black Lady Pagoda. This structure was also a feast for the eyes. Our guide, Lois, was very knowledgeable and helpful.

This was my favorite tour. The...

Published on Jan, 2016

This was my favorite tour. The first part at the mountain involves a lot of climbing, but it is well worth it. The second half is chill and they let you stay at the church as long as you would like without pressure.
