Mount Ta Cu, Ke Ga Lighthouse, and The Virgin's Fall

  • Visit Ke Ga Lighthouse, built in 1899 by a French architect. All materials for its construction were brought from France. Each stone has its own number and position in the lighthouse design so it could be assembled easily and without errors. The lighthouse stands 35 metres high, and its powerful light was visible within a radius of 40 km.

  • Proceed to Mount Ta Cu, where amazing landscapes await.

  • See many unusual areas famous for their pitahaya plantations, better known as dragon fruit. This fruit comes from a cactus. Pass a huge number of these plantations, as well as rice fields where you can stop and take a few pictures.

  • As you approach the mountain, choose between climbing on a secret hiking trail that starts right from the pitahaya plantations or comfortably riding by cable car to the temple complex.

  • Reach the Buddhist temple of Ta Cu. The whole valley below is spread out as if in the palm of your hand. Distant mountains are visible, and if you look closely, you can even see a thin strip of water.

  • Witness the statue of the largest reclining Buddha in all of Vietnam, and visit the tiny cave of the hermit monk.

  • Arrive at The Virgin's Fall, where the mountain river descends over huge boulders and flows between the rocks, forming several lagoons. It is a very beautiful place where you can have a lot of fun and leave behind the weight of everyday life. This waterfall symbolizes the feminine - gentle and affectionate - an impression created by the way the water rushes down the rocks.

  • Take a rest along the steps of Ta Cu Mountain. Wash off the dust of the road and have a snack at the restaurant near the waterfall.

  • Stop at a rice field and near the mountain river on the way back.
