Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cao Dai Temple, Long Thanh Bac Commune Hoa Thanh District, Tay Ninh 730000 Vietnam
We will then proceed to Cao Dai Holy Temple. 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. The temple is home to Cao Dai sects who practice a unique hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity. Up near the altar are barely discernible portraits of six figures important to Cao Daism: Sakyamuni (Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism), Ly Thai Bach (Li Taibai, a fairy from Chinese mythology), Khuong Tu Nha (Jiang Taigong, a Chinese saint), Laotse (the founder of Taoism), Quan Cong (Guangong, Chinese God of War) and Quan Am (Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy).
Their patron saints include Sun Yat-Sen, Victor Hugo and Nguyen Binh Khiem.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Black Virgin Mountain, Vòng quanh khu du lịch Núi Bà, Thạnh Tân, Tây Ninh, Vietnam
We will visit Black Lady Mountain, approximately 11 kilometers to the Northeast of Tay Ninh. We will take an exhilarating cable car ride to the mountain for a panoramic view of this beautiful region. Black Lady Mountain consists of three major mountains covering an area of 24 kilometers and reaching an altitude of 986 meters. Here the beautiful temples and caves that are used to house Buddhist monks and nuns remain largely undisturbed
Duration: 2 hours

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.
