Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Vung Tau, Vung Tau, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province
* After 1- hour drive, we arrive in Vung Tau and enjoy free time at Thuy Van beach (Back beach) – one of the nicest beaches in Vietnam with the shore runs for almost 10km, full with fine sands and white waves.
Then, we have authentic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant.
*After lunch, we visit Jesus Christ Statue by walking up the 847 stairs and meeting the 32 meter-tall (105 feet) statue of Jesus Christ. Considered one of the tallest statues of Christ in Asia, its outstretched arms span a little over 18.4 meters. Originally started in 1972 but the construction was only completed in 1993. The adventurous are welcome to climb to the top of inside Christ’ arms and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view of Vung Tau city.
*The second destination is Thang Tam Temple (Whale Temple). The temple displays the bones which came to symbolize the protector deity of the coast. Now, each time a carcass of a whale washes ashore, the bones are ceremonially hauled to the mausoleum.
*We also discovery the Vung Tau’s nicest colonial era mansion – Bach Dinh. It was built as a retreat for French Governor of Indochina Paul Doumer at the beginning of the 20th century.
Cape Nghinh Phong is final sight before we leave this beautiful coastal city. The Cape is the cliff of Vung Tau and has unobstructed views of Vung Tau City as well as the East Sea.
*We will bring you back to Phu My port and finish the tour.
