Cam Mountain, an attractive destination

Known as the “roof of the West”, Cam Mountain in Nui Cam Commune possesses a charming landscape, a unique climate and many sacred legends. This place has become an attractive destination, attracting a large number of tourists to visit, experience and worship all year round.

Cam Mountain has a beautiful landscape.

Rich potential

With an altitude of more than 700m above sea level, Cam Mountain has a cool climate all year round. Because of this characteristic factor, Cam Mountain is a completely different highlight compared to the rest of the Mekong Delta. Also because of the characteristic cold, especially in the last months of the year, Cam Mountain has a touch of the dreamy Da Lat. For tourists, coming to Cam Mountain at the end of the year is the most ideal. At that time, you can immerse yourself in the poetic scenery with clouds covering the whole space.

Ms. Duong Thi Thu Thuy - a tourist from Can Tho City shared: “I had the opportunity to come to Cam Mountain to enjoy the unique climate. Compared to Da Lat, Cam Mountain does not have rolling pine hills but the cold air is quite similar. Moreover, this place still retains its wild beauty, suitable for those who want to find a feeling of being in harmony with nature. The peace of Cam Mountain helps me regain balance after the pressures of life”.

According to Ms. Thu Thuy, this is the second time she has come to the “roof of the West”, the last time was to make a pilgrimage, to worship supernatural beings with her family. This time, she stayed on the mountain for a night to enjoy the fresh air, watching the clouds crawling over the distant forests at dawn. The accommodation service on Cam Mountain attracts tourists, especially those looking for peace.

Coming to Cam Mountain, visitors can also enjoy the charming landscape, in which, Thuy Liem Lake Pilgrimage Center is the highlight of the landscape, captivating people's hearts. Coming here, you can worship supernatural beings at famous pagodas such as Big Buddha and Van Linh.

In particular, Cam Mountain also has a Maitreya Buddha statue recognized by the Asian Record Organization as the largest Maitreya Buddha statue on a mountain top in Asia in 2013. With a height of 33.6m, the total weight of the base and statue shell is 1,700 tons, this is a famous Buddhist work of An Giang, contributing to effectively exploiting the spiritual tourism potential of Cam Mountain for over 20 years.
