Largest Christian statue in Asia 😱

#vietnamtrip Jesus Christ Statue also known as The Christ of Vung Tau Statue is located at Vung Tau, Vietnam. The Jesus Christ Statue has an impressive height of 32 meters & it is the largest Christian statue across Asia since 2012 😎 To reach the top of the Jesus Christ Statue, a fit stamina & perseverance is required because we have to walk & hike nearly 800 steps 😱 The continuous effort will be rewarded by beautiful landscapes of mountains, natural scenery such as blue sea & trees once we go up to the top of sculptures on a 10-meter-high concrete pedestal. Remember to wear a hat & comfortable shoes, put sunscreen & bring bottled water to avoid sunburn & stay hydrated 💦 Good things(panorama views) take time(steps), isn’t it 🤣 Attraction: Jesus Christ Statue Address: Thuy Van Street, Ward 2, Vung Tau City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Opening hours: 7.15am - 11.30am & 1.30pm - 4.30pm, daily Entrance fees: Free #jesuschrist #vungtau

Vung Tau - You Don't Want To Miss This!

Vùng Tàu is the nearest beach to Ho Chi Minh City. It is a 2hr speed ferry or bus ride away. You get to see beautiful sea views, great and cheap seafood, and quaint vibes on a weekday. Definitely worth a visit. One of the major attractions is the Jesus statue that you can actually climb! Though the climb to the statue itself already isn't easy, it's up a steep hill! Definitely worth it to come here for a day trip! There's also a theme park and cable car if you're up for the thrills. Getting There - Greenline Speed Ferry from HCMC Attractions - Jesus Statue, Temples, Beaches Hotels - NA Food & Restaurants - seafood market Shopping - NA #beachlife #themepark

The bluish stretch of Sandy Coast!

[GETTING THERE] Vung Tau is 125 km away from Ho Chi Minh City, 2 hours by bike, 3 hours by bus, and 2 hours by ferry. [ATTRACTIONS] Vung tau is a good escape from the hustle and bustle of busy Saigon for its picturesque beaches and dreamlike landscape. One of the most visited spots is Ho May Park (the state-of-the-art entertainment). Visiting this place, however, requires you to have a moderate level of physical fitness, which means this place isn't recommended to tourists with cardiovascular problems. For Pagoda explorers, there are many temples around and in the area worth visiting. [FOOD] There are many restaurants that serve various notable seafood, which you MUST try when visiting Vung Tau. ##instatravel #beachlife #vungtau

An Inexpensive Vietnam Beach Holiday!

Location: Vungtau in Vietnam. Getting there: Vungtao city is located 90 minutes on boat from Ho Chi Minh. We stayed in Vung Tau for four nights at the Cao Hotel. There are two beaches in Vung Tao. One is called front beach and one is called back beach. I recommend staying at front beach. Many five star hotels line up here and you have excellent access to the beach. This beach city is cheaper than most in Asia and it's really nice to swim and relax. Even in the winter, it's warm! #vungtau #vietnam

Vietnam's Christ the Redeemer

This statue of Jesus is located in Vung Tau, southern Vietnam. Getting there: Fly to Ho Chi Minh and then get the ferry boat ride to Vung Tau. Not expensive and you will be there in less than two hours. This Jesus statue sits at the top of a hill, similar to the one in Rio. You can climb the steps inside and stand on the arms to get a panoramic view of the beach town. Inside the statue also contains a small museum with art and relics. Well worth viewing. #vietnam #vungtau

Vung Tau amusement park

Vung Tau is a small, coastal city in the south of Vietnam. On the edge of the city, walking distance is a hill and on top of the hill is the amusement park. There's a cable car that takes people on top and back. The tickets for the cable car and the amusement park ate bought at the cable car entrance. The park is very cheap and the ticket includes everything inside the park. There's also a big swimming pool, with slides inside the amusement park. People can relax on the chair by the pool. There are some restaurants and snack shops around the park. It's definitely worth seeing one or twice. #rediscovertravel

Vung Tau

#travellerswonderland Vung Tau is most famous for its greyhound racing, and I also came here to watch the greyhound racing. And Vung Tau is the only place in Vietnam where dog racing is legal. There are many ways to play, the simplest is to guess which one is the champion, and there are other sequence combinations. Of course, the harder it is to guess, the richer the bonus will be. Before the race, the dog trainer would pull the greyhounds near the auditorium and ask the audience to observe the condition of the greyhounds. Of course I chose to watch the taller, muscular greyhounds. After all the races, I won a dinner,still very happy.
