At a ceremony held on February 27 to welcome the one millionth
visitor, Pham Van Hai, deputy general director of Tay Ninh tourism-trade joint
stock company, said that the 2018 Ba Den Mountain Spring Festival attracted
more visitors than in previous years, reaching the landmark 1 million number
two days earlier than in 2017.
The company and the Tay Ninh Cable Car Tour Company have given a facelift to
the relic and installed a new sliding system to attract tourists to the site.
An array of activities has been arranged at the festival which runs from the
fourth to the 16th day in the first lunar month (February 19 to March 3). Those
include film screening, art performances, sport competition and folk games.
Ba Den Mountain is famous for its majestic landscapes and magnificent caves and
pagodas, and is part of the Nui Ba Relic Complex in Tay Ninh province.
The complex spreads over an area of 24 square kilometres and comprises three
mountains: Heo (Pig) Mountain, Phung (Phoenix) Mountain and Ba Den
Mountain.
Ba Den is the highest peak, rising to the height of 986 metres. Besides the
landscape, the site, with many pagodas and caves, is considered one of the most
famous spiritual lands in the south, worshipping Linh Son Thanh Mau (Linh Son
Holy Mother). The most popular destinations at the site are the Ba Temple
Complex, old pagodas like Ha Pagoda, Thuong Pagoda and Hang Pagoda and caves on
the mountain.
