context_page_description: Black Virgin Mountain is a mountain in the Tây Ninh Province of Vietnam. To the Vietnamese the mountain is the center of a myth about Bà Đen, a local deity of Khmer origin. During the Vietnam War the area around the mountain was very active 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. After the war the mountain turned from a battleground to being famous for its beautiful temples and theme park.
context_section_description: The mountain is famed for its beautiful views and temples.  Visitors may hike up trails but many people take the Núi Bà Đen gondola lift to the top of the temple complex. Many of the trails up the mountain are dangerous when wet.
  Common fruit orchards on the mountain and in the neighborhood grow bananas, cashews, and the "custard apple", also called the "mountain custard apple" by the locals.
