Mount Ba Den is one of the most famous spiritual tourist destinations. Visitors ascend the mountain by cable car to visit historical sites and ancient temples such as Linh Son Tien Thach Tu, Hang Pagoda, and Dien Ba, and hear the legend of Linh Son Thanh Mau, also known as Ba Den, who is worshipped in a stone cave.
The Ba Den Mountain cable car opened in early 2020. It has two lines: the Van Son line takes visitors from the foot of the mountain to the summit, and the Chua Hang line connects the foot of the mountain to Ba Den Pagoda. With an area of 10,959 m2, the cable car station has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's largest cable car station. A round-trip cable car ticket to the summit of Ba Den Mountain costs 100,000 VND for visitors taller than 1.4m and is half price for children between 1m and 1.4m tall.
