BTO – Ta Cu Mountain Pagoda has its over 140 years of existence with
much antique architecture amid the natural and pristine mountain
landscape. Before 2007, there was no telpher line, so pilgrims had to
walk along a nearly 2.000 meter-zigzag and steep path. Until 2007, a
modern technological telpher line including 25 cabins were invested by
Ta Cu pagoda Tourism JSC.
Accordingly,
it takes only 10 minutes for visitors to approach the pagoda while
experiencing an exciting feeling of flying and watching the primeval
forest and vast dragon fruit orchard on cable. In the meantime, the
infrastructure, recreational area, souvenir house, food and drink stalls
were gradually emerged”, Mr. Nguyen Phi Long – director of Ta Cu
Mountain Tourism JSC said.

Frequently,
the company has built three more restaurants in order to meet
customers’ needs. In addition to food-serving Huong Duong and Thuy Ta
restaurants located at the foot of the mountain, Thien Thai restaurant
is situated on the high mountain to serve the staying-visitors. As for
Mrs. Tran Thi Thu Thuy (visitor from Tay Ninh province), going to pagoda
at the beginning of the year is essential, significant and brings lots
of good luck to the family. Therefore, she immediately set off for Binh
Thuan when she first heard about this famous Ta Cu pagoda. When setting
foot at Ta Cu Mountain, she was so surprised at the architectures
bearing spiritual cultural values.

The
number of sightseers has been increased from 15 to 30% for 10 years of
operation. According to incomplete statistics, Ta Cu Mountain received
nearly 35 thousand tourists (excluding the number of tourists remaining
at the foot of the mountain and climbing up the mountain on foot), an
increase of 10% compared to the previous Tet festive season. Besides
renovating the necessary work items, the business establishments have
made provisions for a civilized lifestyle. As a result, the
material and technical infrastructures are upgraded to facilitate
sightseeing and pilgrimage, etc. Accordingly, the annual revenue of the
tourist area has surged by 15 – 20 per cent.

In
the coming time, Ta Cu Mountain Tourism JSC plans to organize
eco-tourism model and attract investors to exploit more natural
characteristics of this location. At the same time, it also tries to
seek local unique tourist products that can lure and retain visitors,
Mr. Long added.
Hopefully, with the business ideas above, Ta Cu Mountain Pagoda is
expected to be an ideal space for eco-tourism and traditional tourism of
Binh Thuan in particular and Viet Nam in general.
