The strangest cathedral in Asia, and the view from the roof of the south
Tay Ninh and Ba Den Mountain
The Cao Dai Holy See is worth the drive on its own — a religion invented in 1926 that borrows from everyone, in a building that looks like it was designed by all of them at once. Then the cable car up Ba Den, the highest point in southern Vietnam.
