2. Cô Tô Mountain
Address: Co To Commune, Tri Ton District, An Giang.
Nui Co To, also known as Phung Hoang Son (Phoenix Mountain), is a more pristine mountain than Cấm Mountain, but the number of pilgrims and check-ins here every year is not inferior.
Why say that? Because Nui Co To does not have many architectural works and distinctive landscapes like Nui Cam, it still retains its inherent pristine beauty. However, there are many sacred pagodas, hermitages, and temples on the mountain, along with special traces such as fairy footprints, a stone bell field – an extremely beautiful cloud hunting spot, and a fairy yard with the words “Tri Ton” – a distinctive symbol and also a famous check-in spot of Nui Co To.

3. Ông Két Mountain
Address: Nha Bang Town, Tinh Bien District, An Giang.
Ông Két Mountain is famous and distinctive for a rock on the towering mountain peak that protrudes like the beak of a parrot (Ket), this special feature is also the origin of the name Nui Ket and the mysterious spiritual stories surrounding the beak of Ong Ket turning towards Cấm Mountain.
Ông Két mountain is not too high and has steps, so it is very easy to climb. If you are in good health, you can run straight from the foot of the mountain to the top in just half an hour! Nui Ket is also visited by many tourists for pilgrimage and worship, so this place is not too deserted. Along the way up the mountain, there are also many places selling food and drinks, so people can rest assured!
