Tây Ninh (listen^ⓘ) is a provincial city in Southeastern Vietnam. It is the capital of Tây Ninh Province, which encompasses the town and much of the surrounding farmland. Tay Ninh is one of nine provinces and cities in the Southern Key Economic Region (Hochiminh City, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An and Tien Giang). Tây Ninh is approximately 90 km (55 miles) northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnamese largest city and 182 km (113 miles) to Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia. As of 2019, the city had a population of 135,254 over the provincial population of 1,169,165, and a total area of 140 km² (54 sq mi).^[1]

The city is known for being the home of the Cao Dai religion, a syncretic Vietnamese faith that includes the teachings and practices of the major world religions. The Cao Dai religion's Holy Tower, built between 1933 and 1955, is located around five kilometres (3.1 mi) to the east of Tay Ninh's city centre.

Besides the Cao Dai Holy See, other tourist attractions include:

• Black Virgin Mountain, the tallest mountain in southern Vietnam
• Dau Tieng Lake, one of the largest man-made lakes in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
• Lò Gò-Xa Mát National Park
• Thien Lam or Go Ken Pagoda
• Chang Riec Forest
• Mộc Bài International Border Gate
• Long Hoa central market

With its vast agricultural land covering over 85% of the natural land area (equivalent to 370,000 ha), favorable hot and humid climate all year round, relatively flat terrain, and the presence of the Vam Co Dong river and Dau Tieng reservoir bed irrigation system, Tay Ninh has excellent natural and climate conditions. These factors guarantee a consistent water supply for hundreds of thousands of hectares of agricultural land, making it an ideal location for cultivating a wide range of tropical agricultural products. Rubber, sugar cane, and cassava are the most commonly grown crops in Tay Ninh nowadays.

Phuoc Dong Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial zone in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, is situated 24 miles away from the city. The park covers an area of 2,190 ha and is part of a larger complex spanning 3,285 ha, which includes Go Dau and Trang Bang districts. The strategic location of Phuoc Dong complex provides easy access to the Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway, Thanh Phuoc transshipment port, and Moc Bai international border gate.
