While not as bustling and filled with attractions, Vũng Tàu is the perfect choice for creating a unique photo collection.
Unveiling the Beauty: Top 6 Instagram-Worthy Spots in Vũng Tàu
Here's a guide to the picturesque spots in Vũng Tàu by Dương Thùy. According to her, as a first-time traveler to Vũng Tàu, she thoroughly researched prominent locations for photography. However, well-known places like Hồ Cốc, Hồ Đá Xanh, and Marina yacht dock had already been extensively photographed. Seeking something fresh, she stumbled upon and paused at these captivating spots, inviting you to explore them too.
Seaside Drive to Long Hải
Intrigued by the reviews of Long Hải and its beautiful white sandy beaches, she decided to give it a try. On the coastal road, pay attention to the bend by the sea. This short stretch is unique and has no other exit. If you arrive around 9-10 am, the lighting is perfect. The broad, curving road offers a stunning view of the blue sea, providing an excellent photo opportunity. You can also take a short walk down to the rocky shore for some additional unique shots.
Paper Flower Lane
I can't recall the exact address, but this enchanting lane is near 'Bình An Village.' I visited in mid-April, and the roses adorned a corner of the street, creating a mesmerizing scene. Though it's only about 100m long, it offers ample opportunities for quirky shots, ensuring you capture stunning images.
Imperial Vũng Tàu Hotel
Located at 159 Thuỳ Vân Street, this hotel boasts an extremely luxurious exterior, especially with its exceptionally sophisticated design. The area around the hotel even features a staircase ascending to a height, providing a beautiful cityscape for your photos.
Korean Dry Tree Lane
Adjacent to the paper flower lane, this stretch continues the floral theme with dry trees along the coast. Optimal lighting for photos is around 2-3 pm. With minimal traffic on this road, it's an ideal spot for capturing pictures.
Cotton Tree along the Road to Hải Đăng Peak
This charming cotton tree caught my eye as I journeyed to Hải Đăng Peak. It stands tall and graceful at a beautiful bend in the road. Being the only one along that stretch, make sure to pause and capture the moment – no need to search elsewhere. The road to Hải Đăng offers numerous picturesque spots for your photography delight.
Pine Forest and Dragon Fruit at Tràm Lake
Situated on the route from the city to Hồ Tràm, this pine forest appears on your right side as you travel, approximately 10km from Hồ Tràm. Beyond the pine forest lies a beach. Notably, near the sandy expanse at Hồ Tràm, you'll find clusters of dragon fruit plants, providing a picturesque setting for some spontaneous photo sessions.
These are the spots that occupied more than half of my day. Sharing with everyone, hoping you visit Vũng Tàu for a trip and bring back the most dazzling virtual-life photos. However, do note that the journey is quite far, so consider opting for a car if you want to save time for photography.
