Displayed:   times.

Tay Ninh is located on the border with Cambodia, and being only 100km (60 miles) northwest of Saigon, it is not too far from the outermost suburbs of the city. The road to Tay Ninh is flanked by rice paddies, sesame fields, cashew plantations and rubber trees, offer a good look at the diverse nature agriculture possible here.

Of considerable interest is the Cao Dai Holy See, constructed in 1933 and located 4km (2.5 miles) from the center of Tay Ninh.

Founded in 1926, Cao Dai is a combination of the Buddhism and Catholic religions blended with Confucian and Taoist philosophies. The religion has more than 2 million followers and advocates humanitarianism, benevolence and universality. Black Virgin Mountain, a rare piece of high ground in this part of southern Vietnam, is located 15km (9 miles) from the town of Tay Ninh. It attracts many pilgrims year-round to attend various religious festivals held on the mountain.
