Located about 100–120 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau is one of Southern Vietnam’s most popular coastal resorts. Once a retreat for French colonial officials, Vung Tau is now known for its beaches, seafood, scenic viewpoints, and relaxed seaside atmosphere—making it an ideal short getaway from the city.

1️⃣ Vung Tau Beaches
Vung Tau features several well-known beaches such as Back Beach (Bãi Sau) and Front Beach (Bãi Trước), offering long coastlines, sea breezes, and open views of the ocean. These beaches are lively in the early morning and late afternoon, perfect for walking, relaxing, or simply enjoying the coastal scenery.
2️⃣ Christ the King Statue (Jesus Statue)
Standing atop Núi Nhỏ (Small Mountain), the Christ the King Statue is one of the tallest Christ statues in Asia. Visitors can climb inside the statue and enjoy panoramic views of Vung Tau city and the East Sea—one of the most iconic viewpoints in the area.
Note: The statue is a religious and cultural landmark; its value today lies in its symbolism and views rather than historical politics.
