border._

 Tay Ninh borders Cambodia through the Moc Bai International Border Gate, and the
two countries share Buddhist traditions and cultural ties.

 **Buddhist heritage on southern Vietnam’s highest peak**

 At 986 meters, Ba Den Mountain is a long-established pilgrimage site associated
with the legend of Linh Son Thanh Mau and a Ba Pagoda complex more than 300 years
old, including Linh Son Tien Thach Tu temple halfway up the mountain.

 The summit complex centers on a gilded red copper statue of Kanakamuni Buddha in
the Udumbara Garden. Together with the 72-meter Tay Bo Da Son Bodhisattva statue
and a Maitreya Bodhisattva statue assembled from 6,688 sandstone blocks, the three
statues face east, forming a “Past, Present and Future” axis.

 For Cambodian visitors, whose country has a long Theravada Buddhist tradition, 
the site offers an introduction to Vietnamese Buddhist architecture, iconography
and rituals. On Saturday evenings, the summit hosts a lantern offering ceremony.

 **Khmer culture during the festival season**

 Ba Den Mountain also hosts performances of Chhay-dam drumming, pinpeat ensemble
music and traditional Khmer dance, reflecting cultural exchange between communities
on both sides of the border. Near the foot of the mountain, Khedol Pagoda, also 
known as Botum Kirirangsay, preserves the Theravada architecture, beliefs and customs
of the local Khmer community.

 During the November holiday period, the site plans to hold art and wood carving
exhibitions as well as heritage performances. Visitors can also combine their trip
with the Cao Dai Holy See, traditional craft villages and Tay Ninh specialties such
as Trang Bang dew-dried rice paper and shrimp salt.
