About this guide and how we check it

Tay Ninh Tourism is an independent English-language guide to Tay Ninh province for visitors. This page explains who writes it, where its facts come from, what the dates mean, how advertising is handled, what the guide does not do, and how to correct it.

Who writes it

The pages are written and checked by the Tay Ninh Tourism editors, who are named as the author on every page. The guide is written in English for international visitors and for anyone in Vietnam who prefers to read about the province in English. It covers the province as it has existed since 1 July 2025, including the former Long An.

We are not a government body and not a tourism authority. We do not speak for the operators of the places we describe, and we have no arrangement with any of them that affects what we write.

What the guide covers

Four main places, Ba Den Mountain, the Cao Dai Holy See, the Lang Sen wetland, and Lo Go–Xa Mat with Dau Tieng Lake, plus the practical questions around them: the merger and what it changed, getting there from Ho Chi Minh City, how many hours each part needs, festivals and seasons, money, dress and safety, and when not to go.

Each page tries to answer the questions people actually ask before they travel, including the uncomfortable ones: when a place is too crowded, when the weather spoils it, and who would be happier elsewhere.

Where the facts come from

We use sources in this order of preference:

  1. Legal and official texts: the National Assembly resolution on the merger and other government documents.
  2. The provincial newspaper and national media for administrative changes and festival news.
  3. Official travel advice, such as the UK Foreign Office, and international bodies such as the Ramsar Convention and the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity.
  4. The national tourism authority.
  5. Commercial pages, ticket platforms and travel blogs, labelled as such in the source line, and used only where nothing official answers the question.

When two sources disagree, the page shows both. The footwear rule at the Holy See and the published area of Lo Go–Xa Mat National Park are two examples. Where we could not confirm a point, such as the new commune name for the Lang Sen area or the boat fees at the reserve, the page says so instead of guessing.

What the dates mean

Each page shows when it was published and when it was last reviewed. Each block containing a fact that can change, such as a fare, an opening time or a festival date, has a source line beneath it with a date marked as checked. That is the day an editor read the source and compared it with the page, not the day the site was rebuilt.

A checked date is a statement about our work, not a promise about the facts. Cable car hours, coach fares and festival programmes change without notice. Before you travel, open the source and confirm with the operator.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell tours, tickets, rooms or transport, and we take no bookings.
  • We do not rate or rank hotels, restaurants, guides or tour companies, and we do not publish lists of them.
  • We do not accept payment for mentions, links or placement inside the text.
  • We do not publish reviews or quotes from people we cannot identify.
  • We do not write about the Cu Chi tunnels beyond a passing mention; they are in Ho Chi Minh City.

Advertising

The site carries advertising spaces. Each one is labelled "Advertisement" and placed in a fixed position, separate from the editorial text: above, between or below sections, not inside a paragraph or a table. Until a space is sold, it shows a neutral placeholder.

Advertisers have no say over what the pages say, which places they cover or how they describe them. If an advertiser is also a business mentioned in the text, the text is written to the same standard as everything else and is not changed because of the advertisement. Enquiries about advertising go through the contact page and are handled separately from editorial messages.

What we do badly

  • Real-time changes. A cable car closed for maintenance or a festival programme moved will not show here until someone tells us.
  • The former Long An beyond Lang Sen. The delta side of the province is covered thinly for now.
  • Prices. We give ranges from dated sources, and they age quickly.
  • Languages other than English.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, out of date or unclear, tell us through the contact page. The most useful reports say which page and which sentence, what you found instead, when, and how you know: a link to an official notice, a photo of a fare board, or what happened when you visited and on what date.

Every report is read by an editor. Where a correction is confirmed, we change the page, update its review date and the checked date of the block concerned, and record significant changes in the log below. Where a report is credible but cannot be confirmed, we may add it as a visitor report, labelled as such.
