Tây Ninh, Provincial capital in southeastern Vietnam
Tây Ninh is a provincial city in southeastern Vietnam situated on flat terrain near the Cambodian border. The landscape is dominated by Ba Den Mountain, which rises about 980 meters above the surrounding plains.
The province grew as a strategic junction between Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh, promoting cross-border trade and exchange. This location made it an important transitional area for goods and people moving between two countries.
In Tây Ninh, about twenty-six ethnic groups live together and practice their traditions as part of daily life. The Cao Dai Great Temple serves as the spiritual center for followers and shapes how locals experience their faith.
The city connects to Ho Chi Minh City through a paved road about 100 kilometers long and can be reached from Cambodia via the Moc Bai or Xa Mat border crossings. Visitors should keep in mind the tropical climate and plan travel during cooler months.
Dau Tieng Lake is Vietnam's largest irrigation reservoir and supplies water to surrounding agricultural areas. Its massive capacity makes it a vital infrastructure for food security across the region.
