Top check-in spots not to be missed when visiting Vung Tau
Big Mountain, Vung Tau
Located in the northern part of Vung Tau city, Big Mountain, also known as Dai Son, is one of the two most beautiful mountains in the coastal city.
The road leading up the mountain is wide, with fresh and cool air. From the top, you can enjoy the view of small houses, the refreshing blue beach, and the coastal road winding along the beautiful long sandy beach. This is a favorite mountain for hikers on weekends.
Green Stone Lake
Alongside the picturesque rocky mountain scenery, the crystal-clear lake creates a poetic landscape, adding to the charm of Green Stone Lake.
Situated on the slopes of Dinh Mountain in Tan Thanh district, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, Green Stone Lake is a popular photo spot for young people and couples, especially those taking wedding photos. Not only is the lake's serene blue water a stunning backdrop, but at Green Stone Lake, you can also enjoy numerous photo opportunities with a wooden bridge extending over the lake, a swing, and a flock of white sheep.
Vung Tau Lighthouse
Completed in 1862, the Vung Tau Lighthouse is one of the five oldest lighthouses in Vietnam.
The round, white-painted tower with classical, sturdy architecture stands as a symbol of the coastal city. Climbing the spiral staircase inside and reaching near the top of the tower, you can step out onto the balcony to take in the breathtaking panoramic view of Vung Tau's landscape.
Sheep Field on Phuoc Tan Road
If you missed the flock of sheep at Green Stone Lake, head to Phuoc Tan-Hoi Ban road, passing through Suoi Nghe commune in Chau Duc district.
From a barren land at the foot of Thi Vai Mountain, the locals have transformed this area into one of the most beloved photo spots in Vung Tau, featuring white sheep that look like fluffy balls rolling across the lush green grass.
Ho Coc Beach
Located 40km north of Vung Tau, Ho Coc Beach is a pristine, clear, and clean destination, making it the perfect spot for nature lovers when visiting Vung Tau tourism.
Ho Coc, situated in Bung Bien commune, Xuyen Moc district, is a beach near the forest with very few residents and minimal tourism activity, making it the most untouched beach in Vung Tau. You can take a stroll along the shore, snap photos by the wooden bridge, or capture the vibrant large and small rocky outcrops scattered across the sea.
Christ the King Statue
The Christ the King Statue, also known as the Christ the Redeemer statue, is a depiction of Jesus Christ placed atop Small Mountain.
This is the 'largest Jesus Christ statue in Asia,' a renowned spiritual landmark of the coastal city. From the entrance of the statue, ascend 800 stone steps, and you will be greeted by the image of Christ with arms outstretched to embrace the sky. You can also climb the internal steps of the statue, step out onto the arms of the figure, and take in panoramic views of the distant sea, dotted with green, rocky islands.
Moreover, on the way to the must-visit spots of Vung Tau, you will encounter picturesque scenes along coastal roads or mountain routes lined with refreshing trees, perfect for capturing stunning photos.
