Black Virgin Mountain (Vietnamese: Núi Bà Đen meaning "Black Lady Mountain") is a mountain in Tây Ninh City, Vietnam. The mountain is the center of a Vietnamese myth about Bà Đen. During the Vietnam War the area around the mountain was a hot zone as the Ho Chi Minh Trail ended a few kilometers west across the Cambodian border. As such there were many battles and American and Vietnamese soldiers based in the region remember the prominent landmark.[1] After the war the mountain turned from a battleground to being famous for its beautiful temples and theme park.
