of Vietnam's most interesting indigenous religions. The
Cao Dai Great Temple
was built
between 1933 and 1955. Victor Hugo is among the Westerners especially revered by the
Cao Dai; look for his likeness at the Great Temple.
Tay Ninh is 96km northwest of HCMC. The Cao Dai Holy See complex is 4km east of
Tay Ninh. One-day tours from Saigon, including Tay Ninh and the Cu Chi Tunnels, cost
from US$7.

There are several beach resorts within striking distance of downtown Saigon, although
most travellers make for Mui Ne. If time is short and you want a quick fix, consider Vung
Tau, which you can reach by hydrofoil.
