Ta cu mountain is one of the highest mountains in Binh Thuan Province - 649 meters From the top of the mountain, there is a spectacular view of the dragon fruit farms and rice paddies below. In the 1870s and 1880s, a Buddhist month named Tran Huu Duc led a group of Buddhist faithful in the construction of the Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda. After his death in 1887, a group of his followers built the lower Long Doan Pagoda. Then in 1958, a man named Truong Dinh Tri began construction of the 49 meter-long, seven meter-high reclining Buddha, as well as three additional smaller Buddha statues. There is a cave near the statues which has been named the Forefathers Cave. At the bottom of the cave is a small stream, which disappears into the cave floor. It is inside this cave that Tran Huu Duc spent much of his life time in meditation.

    WELL ORGANIZED PLACE

    Awesome trip. Driver and guide picked us up on time. Guide was able to speak fluently and gave great information all throughout the trip. Driver and guide were super friendly and helpful, didn't had problems with switching things up to better suit our needs. Trip itself is awesome and an absolute recommendation to do when around the area!

    Fascinating experience!!!

    Cabin up to the mountain was nice, but waaaaaarm inside. Fascinating to see the ENORMOUS Budda, up there in the hills. 15 minutes of warm, steep stairwalking 2 get there. Also, really nice parks, buildings, lakes in the area. Overall a nice trip, to break up the beach life😊

    A very enjoyable trip

    A very enjoyable trip with a lovely sincere guide, Sandy. Staying in Mui Ne it was nice to see a little bit of Phan Thiet, life and history. Sandy painted great pictures of how Vietnam and it’s people have managed to get where they are today despite so many obstacles and the hand of oppressive nations never far away.

    Very nice trip!!!!

    We liked this tour a lot. Our guide was professional and very friendly. She gave us a very good presentation on the dragon fruit plantation. She also helped to create very pleasant conditions for our visit to Ta Cu pagodas and gave us thorough explanations of the religious traditions in Vietnam. We recommend highly this tour.
