Impressive Milestone Affirming the Attraction of the Sacred Southern Peak
If in 2023, Ba Den Mountain needed 12 months to welcome 5 million visitors, this year, this tourist spot reached the above milestone quite early. This shows that the number of visitors to Ba Den Mountain continues to grow, affirming the attraction of a leading spiritual cultural destination in the South.
For visitors, Ba Den Mountain is not only a place for pilgrimage and worship but also a destination for 'healing' and balancing body - mind - spirit. The outstanding highlight of the tourist area is the modern cable car system, which allows visitors to easily reach the summit at an altitude of 986m in just a few minutes. From the cabin, the abundant Tay Ninh landscape opens up with Dau Tieng Lake, vast rice fields, making anyone marvel.

Midway up the mountain, the ancient Ba temple complex is the main place of worship for the sacred Linh Sơn Thánh Mẫu Bodhisattva – the spiritual anchor of the Southern people.
At the summit is the statue of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara of Tây Bổ Đà Sơn – the tallest bronze statue of the Bodhisattva in Asia, standing majestically on a lotus pedestal, its left hand holding a vase of holy water as if bestowing blessings upon all people.
The summit is also the seat of the Maitreya Bodhisattva statue made of sandstone, elaborately crafted from 6,688 natural sandstone blocks, mimicking the unique image of terraced fields. Maitreya sits on a cascading waterfall, facing East towards the rising sun, as if bestowing joy, equanimity, and peace upon all beings.
Besides the magnificent spiritual structures, Bà Đen Mountain is also a mountain of spiritual cultural festivals. The Lamp Offering Ceremony, held every Saturday evening, is a characteristic ritual, attracting thousands of Buddhists and visitors each night amidst the magical scenery of thousands of lanterns illuminating the entire mountaintop.

From the sacred Chua Ba over 300 years old, the modern cable car system, to spiritual cultural works, all blend into a colorful tourist picture, where spirituality meets modernity, where every step of the visitor is filled with emotion and reverence. Spiritual experiences combined with natural scenery as beautiful as a fairyland have made Nui Ba Den a must-visit destination at least once in a lifetime for travelers from all over.
