Jesus Christ Statue
The Christ of Vung Tau Statue, also known as the Statue of Christ the King, is a remarkable landmark in Vung Tau, Vietnam. Towering at an impressive height, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and serves as a testament to the region's strong Christian heritage and spirituality. The statue was constructed in 1972 but dismantled just 2 years later. Construction resumed in 1992, on Dec 1, 1994, statue's summit was officially inaugurated. In 2012, this sacred statue was recognized as the largest Jesus statue in Asia. It is also designated as a national historical-cultural relic and holds the record for the "largest Jesus statue in Vietnam." The statue stands at an elevation of 136 meters above sea level, showcasing its grandeur and imposing dimensions. It reaches a height of 32 meters, with the outstretched arms spanning 18.4 meters. There are 834 steps to reach the sculptures on a 10-meter-high concrete pedestal & ascend 133 spiral steps leading to the statue's shoulders.
Thich Ca Phat Dai
The Thich Ca Phat Dai Pagoda, built between 1961 and 1963, lies on Lon Mountain. Within the monastery compound is a 6-metre tall statue of Buddha and a Zen monastery at the foot of the mountain. The dense foliage inside the compound houses a variety of birds. This path is lined with statues that display important events in the life of Gautam Buddha, and there also is a stupa and six dragon statues along the way. Pagoda lies in the harmonious combination between its architectural structure and the natural surroundings, especially the white cement construction of the giant statue of Buddha perched on a 4.5 meter high pedestal shaped like a lotus blossom.
Probably the most famous seafood restaurant in Vung Tau, Ganh Hao is something of a logistical miracle. This is one of those enormous places that churns through hundreds of diners a day, but still seems to deliver tasty seafood, as ordered, and in reasonable time. Set by the sea in the open air, Ganh Hao serves great lunch.
