Situated 95 km north-west of Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh is the original home of the Cao Dai religious sect. It is from here that Cao Daism has spread its influence onto surrounding provinces. In the years gone by, this sect had its own army and they were ruthlessly oppressed by the Diem regime. The Cao Daism did not support the Viet Cong and as a result, following Reunification, they were punished for this intransigence by the confiscation of their lands and temples which were not returned to them until 1985.
