| Cao Daism is an interesting mixture of Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism and Confucianism, all of which are evident in the garish temple at Tay Ninh. Essentially, Buddha and the Christian God are believed to both exist as deities, but Cao Dai is the third, highest deity, all of which was revealed to Ngo Van Chieu in the 1920's. By 1930, there were half a million followers, with a square kilometre around the temple at Tay Ninh owned by the Cao Dai The head quarter of Cao Dai sect is located in Tay Ninh. This religion was founded in 1923 and now numbers over 2 million members. Heading out of town we drive to Tay Ninh to see the ornate temple of Cao Dai and attend the fantastic mid-day service when the followers fill the hall wearing colored robes, a symbol of the curious combination of the Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Afterwards we continue to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, which were an incredible underground network constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the long struggle for independence. The tunnels contained hospitals, plus accommodation and schools, and were used as a military base for the Vietcong in the American war. The trip ends after arrival in Ho Chi Minh City |
