Pay the gate at khu phố Ninh Phú, then ride from Ba Den Station. Vân Sơn goes to the summit at 986 m. Chùa Hang goes to the Black Lady temple cluster, Linh Sơn Tiên Thạch. Tâm An is a third line and does not run Monday to Friday. One line is the shorter visit. The summit and the temples together take most of a day. The pilgrim stairs are the walk up if you skip a cable.

On the summit a copper Phật Bà stands 72 m and weighs 170 tons, and a sandstone Di Lặc is 36 m high and 45 m wide, built of 6,688 blocks. Ba Den is called nóc nhà Nam Bộ. Núi Heo is 335 m and núi Phụng is 660 m. The tourist complex is given as about 24 km². The 1986 landscape reserve covers nearly 2,000 ha. The mountain was recognized on 21 January 1989. A logistics unit on the mountain is numbered 82, and also 32. Liên đội 7 is named with both.
Weather can stop the cable. After 17:00 the cable fares drop through 31 December 2026. The buffet runs 10:00–15:00, so an evening ride is past that meal. The 18–26 June 2026 festival fares have ended. The caves on this mountain, including Động Kim Quang, belong to this visit. Cu Chi is its own day.
