Itinerary:
05:00 AM: The car and tour guide will pick you up at the meeting point. You will have breakfast and then depart to explore TAY NINH
On the car, you will participate in fun games - witty and unique - and immerse yourself in funny stories organized by the tour guide. The tour guide will explain and help you learn more about the history, culture, customs and people of each land that the group passes through.
09:30 AM: Arrive in Tay Ninh, you will experience the Sun World Ba Den Mountain Cable Car System. Ba Den Station, part of the cable car system, has also been recognized by the Guinness World Records Organization as "THE LARGEST CABLE CAR STATION IN THE WORLD", with an area of up to 10,959m2 in Tay Ninh.
The group prepares for the journey to conquer the cable line to conquer Van Son Station on the top of Ba Den Mountain, which possesses a classic European architectural style and is imbued with a mysterious fairy tale color. Van Son Station makes visitors feel like they are lost in an ancient cathedral, with the typical features of the world-famous works of architect Gaudi. In one corner, you will see a corner of Parc Guell.
In another corner, you will see the familiar features of the unfinished Sagrada Familia church, Casa Batllo house - Gaudi's lifelong architectural works. But Gaudi's architecture is breathed a fresh breeze thanks to the vibrant colors, each curved arch, the strangely shaped pillars and many ancient windows spread across the common structure, creating a vast, open space always filled with light.
12:00 AM: You will have lunch on the top of Ba Den Mountain
1:30 PM: The group goes down the mountain to visit the Tay Ninh vineyard in the "Holy Land" which not only makes visitors miss the sweet bunches of grapes that can be enjoyed directly. This place also has many beautiful and attractive check-in locations that will amaze you.
2:30 PM: You visit the Tay Ninh Holy See - This is the To Dinh, which is the central worship facility of Cao Dai.
