Located in the sun-drenched and windy South Central region, TTC World - Ta Cu (Ham Thuan Nam commune, Lam Dong - formerly Binh Thuan province) is a rare blend of pristine nature and spiritual life, attracting numerous Buddhists and tourists. It is also a venue for many large-scale Buddhist activities and religious festivals.
From open spaces, spreading a sustainable spiritual journey…
On January 25, 2026 (the 7th day of the 12th lunar month of the Year of the Snake), TTC World - Ta Cu, in collaboration with the Nguyen Huong Buddhist Youth Club, organized the third Three-Step One-Prostration ceremony to commemorate the enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha. The program attracted nearly 1,300 monks, nuns, and Buddhist followers.
Buddhist devotees pay homage before the reclining Buddha statue, which set an Asian record for "the longest reclining Buddha statue on a mountaintop" in 2013.
During the ceremony, the congregation practiced the Three Steps and One Prostration ritual, covering a journey of over 1,000 steps and 300 prostrations, from the gate of Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda to the reclining Buddha statue on the mountaintop. Each step through the ancient forest, each prostration, was a return to oneself, embodying the spirit of cultivating morality, concentration, and wisdom in modern life.
According to a representative of Thanh Thanh Cong Tourism Joint Stock Company (TTC Hospitality - the managing company of TTC World - Ta Cu), the tourist area has all the necessary conditions to organize Buddhist activities, connecting Buddhism with life and the community. The nearly 2.5km trekking path through the forest leads pilgrims through ancient trees, the clear sounds of forest birds, and pure air, like a journey of "purifying body and mind" before reaching the tranquil space for meditation.
The Prajnaparamita Sutra inscribed on stone is also a highlight at TTC World - Ta Cu.
The harmonious combination of ecological, architectural, and spiritual elements has helped TTC World - Ta Cu increasingly affirm its role as an ideal space for religious ceremonies, study activities, and large-scale Buddhist events.
…to a profound experience of nature and culture
Beyond Buddhist activities, TTC World - Ta Cu offers profound experiences of nature and culture. From the very first steps, visitors can feel the uniqueness of Ta Cu through its cool, fresh air, blended with the scent of damp earth and plants, gently awakening all the senses and bringing a feeling of relaxation and peace.
With a history of nearly 200 years, Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda, which began its restoration in 2006, is a familiar spiritual destination for Buddhists near and far.
A highlight is the Ta Cu Meditation Garden – where visitors can choose a spot under the cool shade of trees to meditate, sip a hot cup of tea, or simply pause, breathe deeply, and listen to the rhythm of nature. This tranquility is enhanced by the melodious sound of the Wind Chime Tower – a structure that set the record for “Largest Wind Chime Tower in Vietnam” in 2024.
The sound of the chimes blends with the sound of the forest wind, creating a natural healing melody, helping visitors to leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city and rediscover profound inner peace.

A trip to TTC World - Ta Cu is also an opportunity for visitors to experience the essence of Cham culture - a distinctive heritage of Binh Thuan province. Through the regularly held Cham Pottery Workshop, visitors can directly knead clay, turn the pottery wheel, and create rustic products bearing the distinctive mark of Cham Pa culture. Each step connects emotionally with the centuries-old cultural story, contributing to the dissemination of heritage and accompanying the local artisan community.
The unique cultural features of Ta Cu, blended with the lush green landscape of the mountains and forests, have attracted a large number of tourists from all over, especially international visitors.
In particular, the Ta Cu primary forest stands as a precious "green lung," meticulously preserved over many years and a distinctive ecological highlight in the journey to explore Ta Cu Mountain. The preservation of this natural ecosystem has created a safe habitat for wild animals, including the monkeys that live naturally around the Buddha statue.
Their peaceful presence adds a vibrant touch to the tour and serves as clear evidence of an ecological space that is properly respected and protected.
The ecological landscape is preserved and protected by TTC Hospitality.
Whether for pilgrimage, spiritual practice, seeking tranquility, or exploring the values of nature and culture, TTC World - Ta Cu offers an authentic and emotionally rich journey. It's not just a place to stop, but a destination where everyone can slow down, listen to themselves, connect with enduring values, and accumulate positive energy for the journey ahead.
