Nui Ba Den, or Black Lady Mountain, is an attraction located about 66 miles (106 km) to the northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. It is located near one of the major attractions of Ho Chi Minh City, the Cao Dai Temple. However, due to difficult access, few people go to Nui Ba Den. Nonetheless, those who visit it will be delighted by the landscape.
Nui Ba Den rises to a height of 986m (3,235 ft). This forest-clad mountain offers scenis views all around. At the base is an amusement park. However, at the top you find the temple to the Black Lady, a Huong woman who died defending her honor.
Many people exercise by hiking up Nui Ba Den. You can also get to the top by taking a chair lift. During the Vietnam War the mountain was heavily bombarded because it was a Vietcong military camp. Today it has returned to civilian use, and the ancient temples there are getting visitors once again.
