Black Virgin Mountain (Vietnamese: Núi Bà ?en meaning "Black Lady Mountain", Khmer: Phnom Chol Baden ) is a mountain in the Tay Ninh Province of Vietnam. To the Vietnamese the mountain is the center of a myth about Bà ?en, 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.[1] After the war the mountain turned from a battleground to being famous for its beautiful temples and theme park.
