At a ceremony held on February 27 to welcome the one millionth

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

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.

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
