One of his favorite sunset spots is on the cable car. Sitting in the cabin running down from the top of the mountain at around 5:50 p.m., you will see the red sun like a ball of fire lying across the mountainside, reflecting its orange-red light onto the green forest floor. "The feeling of sitting in the cabin is like walking across the sun in the sunset, imagining being able to reach out and touch the sun, so wonderful" - Hai Trieu said.

Another sunset hunting spot that is also very popular with many people is right at Tay Bo Da Son Square on top of Ba Den Mountain. This large square is where visitors can see the entire fertile plain and the immense Dau Tieng Lake. From the square, every afternoon, the sun will gradually set behind the tallest Buddha statue in Asia, Tay Bo Da Son, located on the top of the mountain. The Buddha statue is printed on the sky dyed with orange-yellow clouds with a pinkish tinge, creating a very majestic and sacred picture.

The orange-red light changes, the clouds transform continuously, sometimes like orange-pink dragon scales, sometimes creating streaks of light that look very mysterious, making many tourists fascinated" - said Mr. Dang Vu, an employee of Sun World Ba Den Mountain Tourist Area.
