Tourists from all over the world have known more about Ta Cu Mountain since 1996, when every spring, the Ta Cu Mountain Climbing Competition in Ham Thuan Nam District is held. Initially, this was only a district-level competition in Binh Thuan Province, but now the scale has been expanded to the Central Highlands provinces and the Southeast region. The Ta Cu Mountain Climbing Competition not only encourages people to preserve and improve their health, promote the local image, and stimulate tourism, but also encourages everyone to join hands to protect the "green lung".
Spiritual tourist attractions attract tourists
Ta Cu Mountain is located in Thuan Nam town, Ham Thuan Nam district with primeval forests, many rare animals and is considered the "green lung" in the heart of the town. The primeval forests have been protected by the local community throughout history. Ta Cu is a rocky mountain with majestic landscapes and unique spiritual legends. Ta Cu mountain peak is 649m above sea level and was previously known as a volcano. Currently, the mountain peak is preserved as a national forest area with diverse fauna and flora. There are more than a dozen rare animal species listed in the world red book including: rock lizard, grouse, Truong Son silver langur and black-shanked douc, along with more than 150 other precious and medicinal plants. Ta Cu mountain pagoda complex creates a unique and sacred Buddhist space in the middle of the mountains and forests. After climbing the mountain or taking the cable car, visitors will have the opportunity to admire the unique works on the top of the mountain. First of all, we must mention the precious reclining Buddha statue located at the sacred Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda, which is recognized as the largest Buddha statue in Southeast Asia. Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda is located halfway up the Ta Cu mountain range at an altitude of 420m, bearing a strong ancient color amidst the undulating mountain and forest landscape. The To Pagoda was also built with 3 compartments, impressing pilgrims with its solemn position right in the middle of the sky and clouds. This place owns more than 100 moss-covered stone steps. Not only that, this pagoda also has the Buddhist architectural art of the Nguyen Dynasty. Right to the east of the sacred To Pagoda is the very sacred Long Doan Pagoda. The central part of the pagoda is the main hall surrounded by majestic and sturdy split stone walls. In particular, the pagoda also owns a large area of land with many types of fruit trees, creating an ecological area right in the middle of the mountains and forests. Ta Cu tourist area is an attractive spiritual tourist destination that attracts a large number of tourists, especially during the New Year, especially the Ta Cu Mountain Climbing Competition on the 7th day of the Lunar New Year every year. With diverse tourism services, this place meets all needs, from spiritual tourism to exploration and experience. In 2003, Ta Cu Mountain Tourist Area was planned and put into operation by Binh Thuan province, becoming one of the key tourist destinations of the province. Tourists come here not only to enjoy the fresh air, but also to explore the unique natural beauty and immerse themselves in the sacred space of the Buddhist temple.
Need to preserve and maintain
In Binh Thuan province, in addition to the plains and sand dunes associated with the coastal tourist routes of the province, there are also many attractive tourism resource systems associated with endemic landscapes interspersed with mountains and forests such as Ta Cu mountain, which is considered the "green lung" in the heart of the town. These are areas with great potential to exploit and develop the province's tourism strengths. With the current demand for tourism, the quality of existing tourism products has been gradually upgraded and a number of new products have been developed to suit the needs of tourists. At the same time, the conservation of the natural landscape here has also received due attention. In addition to the conservation of natural tourist landscapes, the province has also invested in the conservation of architectural works and outstanding historical relics, which is the conservation and development of the province's spiritual tourism resources, focusing on typical cultural values of high traditional character, associated with the lives and customs of the communities living in the province.
Based on the set goals and orientations, the conservation and development of natural landscapes for tourism is identified as a key task, so there should be specific tasks for the immediate and long-term periods. In the immediate future, the province will complete and develop specific policies and sanctions for specific activities such as: management, investment, inspection, supervision, environmental protection, and widespread education and propaganda on the role and significance of environmental landscape protection in general and tourism landscapes in particular. At the same time, research, basic investigation, sociological investigation, and assessment of the current status of traditional cultural and historical relics, while prioritizing investment in landscape renovation. In the long term, based on regional development planning, based on the actual investment needs of the locality, specific plans will be made, limiting the situation of suspended planning. Continue to implement the mechanisms, policies, sanctions and regulations in tourism management and environmental landscape conservation that have been established. Continue to implement propaganda and education of community awareness, towards comprehensive socialization of tourism landscape conservation. At the same time, continue to implement research, assessment and basic investigation on society, on landscape conservation and historical relics, traditional cultural values in order to promptly propose support measures, avoiding the situation of tourism resources being degraded or lost.
