Black Virgin Mountain, Mountain summit in Tây Ninh Province, Vietnam.

This extinct volcanic mountain rises 996 meters above the Mekong Delta farmland, forming a cone shape covered with basalt boulders.

During the Vietnam War, American forces established a radio relay station on the mountain in 1966, facing continuous attacks from Viet Cong forces.

The mountain holds four Buddhist temples across its slopes, where visitors engage in prayer activities and fortune-telling ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the summit using two different gondola systems or hiking the Electricity Pole Trail, which requires substantial physical effort.

The mountain hosts a population of Gekko badenii, a species of gecko that exists only within this specific geographical location.

Elevation above the sea: 996 m

GPS coordinates: 11.38238,106.17022
