Tà Cú Mountain

Ta Cu Mount (Vietnamese: Núi Tà Cú) is a mountain located off of National Route 1 in the town of Thuận Nam, Hàm Thuận Nam District. Ta Cu Mountain is 28 km west of Phan Thiết city, in Bình Thuận Province, Nam Trung Bộ, Vietnam. The average temperature at the summit ranges from around 18 to 22 °C. There is a path from the foot of the mountain to the summit, a distance of 2290 meters. An alternate more popular route up the side of the mountain is via a 1600-meter-long Austrian aerial tram. At the height of 563 meters, there are two pagodas: the Upper Pagoda (Linh Sơn Trường Thọ) and the Lower Pagoda (Long Đoàn). However, the mountain is most famous as the site of the statue of the reclining Gautama Buddha, which at 49 meters in length is the largest reclining Buddha in Southeast Asia. The statue of the Buddha is an additional 300 steps from the top of the tram.

From the top of the mountain, there are views of the dragon fruit farms and rice paddies below.

In the 1870s and 1880s, a Buddhist month named Tran Huu Duc led a group of Buddhist faithful in the construction of the Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda. After his death in 1887, a group of his followers built the lower Long Doan Pagoda. Then in 1958, a man named Truong Dinh Tri began construction of the 49 meter-long, seven meter-high reclining Buddha, as well as three additional smaller Buddha statues.

There is a cave near the statues which has been named the Forefathers Cave. At the bottom of the cave is a small stream, which disappears into the cave floor. It is inside this cave that Tran Huu Duc spent much of his time in meditation.

Nice way to spend an afternoon. Near the highway so a short <1 hr trip from even Mui Ne. Cable car is 1/2 price after the 3:00 though last trip down is 5:00

Good place for hiking, on the top has lying buddha, the weather there is really cool. they have cable car to near the top and 15 mins hiking to the buddha.

Nice place for a visit by walk 🇻🇳🇨🇿

Had a great tour with a friend. A fine cable car ride.

50k to enter without gondola. Gondola down can be purchased at top for 100k. Overgrown trail up, moderate difficulty, 4km, takes around 1hr with minimal breaks. Breathtaking views and serene vibes at top. Worth the trip.

Wonderful visit. Excellent vegetarian food. Best meal in Vietnam so far.

Beautiful and powerful place

Great views and good way to catch a good jungle canopy view with good bird songs around.
We took a cable car just for 2 and just politely declined other passengers ( we had seen a Vietnamese couple do the same ).

This story goes back to 1998 when we were visiting Vietnam and We were staying in Phan Thiet and heard about Ta Cu Mountain and its long reclining Buddha. So we decided to check it out. The walk was meant to take a couple of hours and we did it in about 70 mins. Was quite steep but well worth the trip. The view of the coastline from the top is sensational as is the reclining Buddha. There were quite a few monks living there who were very friendly and happy to see us. I heard there is a Tram now which makes it very quick trip to the top but for us half the fun was the walk. #LetsGuide #Vietnam #Buddha #walk

Ok

Visit the pagoda and Bhuda statue via cable car service. Excellent view and local cultural place to learn more about Bhudismm in Vietnam. Very nice mountain climbing.

A serene mountain, a temple that was built in 1850, & a nice environment.

A getaway from the city. The air quality is good, temp is acceptable.

This is amazing place!

Beautiful mountain. I came upon a great sadness as I paid to get in. I was thinking of the poor Vietnamese people who are the true believers, the rock and the cornerstone of the religion.
