Ba Den Mountain

#vietnam Sun World Bà Đen Mountain, located in Tây Ninh, Vietnam, is a popular tourist destination known for its pristine natural beauty and ancient spiritual architecture. With an elevation of 986 meters (3,235 feet), it is the highest mountain in the southern region of Vietnam. The mountain is also referred to as “Đệ nhất Thiên Sơn” or “The First Celestial Mountain” . Sun World Bà Đen Mountain offers a variety of beautiful landscapes and unique tourism products and services. It attracts a large number of visitors, especially those from the Southeast region of Vietnam1. The best time to visit Bà Đen Mountain is from December to April when the weather is dry and suitable for outdoor activities and sightseeing1. However, you can also visit during the rainy season from May to November, but it’s recommended to check the weather forecast before planning your trip. To reach Bà Đen Mountain from Ho Chi Minh City, you have several transportation options. You can travel by bus, motorbike, or private vehicle. If you choose to travel by motorbike or private vehicle, there are two common routes you can take. The first route is via National Highway 22A and Provincial Road 782, which takes approximately 3 hours but includes some narrow and challenging sections. The second route is also via National Highway 22A but then turning left into Gò Dầu town and continuing on National Highway 22B. This route is longer but easier to navigate and offers beautiful natural scenery. If you prefer public transportation, you can take a bus from An Sương Bus Station or Ben Thanh Bus Station in Ho Chi Minh City to Gò Dầu town. From there, you can take another bus to Tây Ninh. Please note that these buses do not go directly to Bà Đen Mountain, so you will need to arrange additional transportation to reach the mountain.

Quan Thanh Temple

Quan Thanh Temple: A Historical and Cultural Gem of Hanoi Overview Quan Thanh Temple (Đền Quán Thánh), also known as Tran Vu Temple, is one of Hanoi's oldest and most sacred Taoist temples. Established in the 11th century during the Ly Dynasty, it is part of the "Four Sacred Temples of Thang Long Citadel," guarding the northern entrance of the ancient capital. The temple is dedicated to Huyen Thien Tran Vu (Xuan Wu), the Taoist deity of the north, symbolized by a serpent and turtle. Located near West Lake at the intersection of Quan Thanh and Thanh Nien Streets, it remains a key spiritual and tourist site in Hanoi. Historical Significance - Founding: Built in 1010 under Emperor Ly Thai To to celebrate the relocation of Vietnam’s capital to Thang Long (modern Hanoi). - Sacred Role: One of four temples (alongside Bach Ma, Kim Lien, and Voi Phuc) positioned to protect the city from malevolent spirits and invaders. - Renovations: Restored multiple times, most notably in 1677 (when the iconic bronze statue was added) and 1893, blending Ly, Le, and Nguyen Dynasty architectural styles. Architecctural Highlights 1. Bronze Statue of Tran Vu: - Cast in 1677 by artisans from Ngũ Xã village, this 3.96-meter-tall, 3.6-ton black bronze statue depicts Tran Vu seated on a turtle, wielding a sword entwined by a serpent. It is Vietnam’s second-largest bronze statue and a masterpiece of 17th-century craftsmanship. - The deity’s symbols—the turtle (protection) and serpent (wealth)—reflect Taoist and Vietnamese folklore traditions. 2. Structural Features: - Three-Gate Entrance: Adorned with phoenixes and unicorns, typical of Nguyen Dynasty design. - Courtyard: Shaded by a centuries-old banyan tree, with a brick oven for burning joss paper during festivals. - Ancient Artifacts: Includes a 1.15-meter bronze bell, wood carvings of mythical creatures, and over 60 parallel poems in Chinese characters. Cultural and Spiritual Practices - Festivals: Locals visit during Tet (Lunar New Year) and on the 1st/15th lunar month days to pray for health, luck, and prosperity. - Syncretism: Though Taoist, the temple integrates Buddhist and Confucian elements, reflecting Vietnam’s religious blending. - Martial Arts: Hosts Vovinam classes, honoring Tran Vu’s association with martial prowess. Visitor Information - Location: 190 Quan Thanh Street, Ba Dinh District. - Hours: - Daily: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. - Extended hours on Tet Eve and lunar month days (6:00 AM – 8:00 PM). - Entry Fee: 10,000 VND (adults); 5,000 VND (students/children). - Dress Code: Modest attire covering shoulders and knees. Best Time to Visit: Early morning for tranquility, or during Tet (January–February) for vibrant rituals. Nearby Attractions 1. Tran Quoc Pagoda: Vietnam’s oldest pagoda, located on West Lake. 2. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum: 1 km away, housing the embalmed leader. 3. Temple of Literature: Vietnam’s first university, dedicated to Confucius. Conclusion Quan Thanh Temple is a testament to Hanoi’s rich spiritual heritage and architectural ingenuity. Its iconic bronze statue, serene ambiance, and historical depth make it a must-visit for those exploring Vietnam’s cultural legacy. Whether admiring its artistry or participating in age-old rituals, the temple offers a profound glimpse into the soul of Hanoi. #travel #vietnam #hanoi #temple
