ATPRI06 PRIVATE VUNG TAU BEACH 1 DAY

07:30 Our tour guide and driver will meet you at the hotel. We will depart from Vung Tau city.

At 09:30 Arriving in Vung Tau, we start to 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 breath-taking 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 discovered 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.

12:30 Then, we have authentic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant.
