Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved a master plan to develop Ba Den (Black Lady) Mountain national tourism site in the southern province of Tay Ninh into a special spiritual and cultural site by 2035.
Under the plan, economic, population, land use and infrastructure factors will be prioritised.
Relevant sides will evaluate the impacts of tourism development at the site and study linking Ba Den Mountain with other tourist attractions in the province, Ho Chi Minh City and other localities in the southeast region.
Works at the site must be based on local culture, history and practices.
Ba Den Mountain is the highest mountain in Vietnam’s southeast region at 986 metres above sea level.
The site, with many pagodas and caves, is considered one of the most famous spiritual lands in the south, worshipping Linh Son Thanh Mau (Linh Son Holy Mother). For years, it has been frequented by tourists, most visiting Ba Temple Complex, old pagodas like Ha Pagoda, Thuong Pagoda and Hang Pagoda and caves on the mountain.-
