What to expect
Black Virgin Mountain
We collect guests from various hotels, it's possible that your hotel is our first stop, so ensure you're prepared by 07:00 a.m. As we journey through the lively streets of Sài Gòn, we make our way to Tây Ninh province. We may pause for a short break and restroom facilities en route. Upon reaching Black Virgin Mountain, we'll embark on a picturesque cable car journey to the summit of Bà Đen Mountain, the tallest peak in southern Việt Nam. From this vantage point, you'll have the chance to marvel at the impressive Tây Bổ Đà Sơn Buddha Statue, Asia's highest bronze Buddha, and soak in spectacular vistas of the surrounding landscapes – from quaint villages to expansive rice fields that border Cambodia. Ensure you have your camera to capture these memorable views!
Cao Dai Temple
Next, we move on to the Cao Đài Temple, often likened to a Walt Disney masterpiece set in the East. The temple's facade is adorned with vibrant dragons of various forms, intermingled with numerous swastikas. The all-seeing sacred eye, representative of the Cao Đài faith, oversees the main entrance. Inside, it's equally captivating with figures of Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and Laozi standing in harmony. Appreciate the grandeur of the largest Cao Đài temple and participate in a ceremony to delve deeper into this distinct Vietnamese faith. A scrumptious lunch awaits you at a nearby eatery, where you can indulge in genuine Vietnamese dishes and experience the warmth and charm of the local culture.
We'll be on the road for about 40-60 minutes until we reach the historical Củ Chi Tunnels. Once there, we'll start by viewing a short propaganda film. Then, we'll dedicate the next hour to delve into weapon and trap displays, walk through genuine VC tunnels, and tour various underground rooms like kitchens, meeting areas, and ammunition stores. You'll also have a chance at the firing range and taste some local tapioca. Afterward, we’ll head back towards the bustling Hồ Chí Minh City, a picturesque drive of roughly 1.5 hours. Enjoy the serene countryside vistas before we immerse ourselves back into the city's rhythm. Our trip concludes as we bring you back to your initial pick-up location in the city center or another location you prefer.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
