🇻🇳 Not Rio! Check in at Vietnam's super unpopular seaside city

There is a small coastal town called Vung Tau next to Ho Chi Minh City. Chinese people rarely visit it. You must climb Mount Christ when you come to Vung Tau. The most famous statue of Jesus in the world is the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But did you know? The largest statue of Jesus in Asia is in Vung Tau. It is 32 meters tall, with arms spread out 18 meters, standing on the top of the mountain facing the sea, standing in the wind, more shocking than the photo. There is no charge for climbing the mountain. There are 811 steps in total. It is not difficult to climb. There are many viewing platforms along the way. Walk and take pictures, and you will reach the top of the mountain soon. What is special is that you can enter the interior of the statue of Jesus. Climb to the top and look out at the sea from Jesus' "arms". It's wonderful! However, the passage becomes narrower as you go up. After reaching the top, the staff will randomly assign you to stand on one of Jesus' left and right arms. It should be noted that you cannot enter the statue with a backpack or shoes. Vests and bottoms shorter than the knees are also prohibited. After going down the mountain, you can visit Vung Tau Church. Then don't miss the Centella asiatica milk tea at Rau Má Bà Già. With mung bean paste, it's refreshing and thirst-quenching. There's also a Bánh mì shop nearby. You can try it if you pass by. Vung Tau is not a big city. There are not many check-in spots. Play slowly and walk slowly. There are also several small cafes along the coast. It's also nice to find a seat to sit and watch the sea. I recommend Trung Nguyên Legend Café. If there are many people, you can take a taxi like a sightseeing bus. It only costs 40k dong for 2 kilometers, which is more cost-effective than Grab. 🗺> One-day tour route: Jesus Mountain (2h) → Vung Tau Church (0.5h) → Staring at the front beach cafe → Surfing at the back beach🏄♀️/eating seafood at the night market #July Good Place 2025 #Vietnam Check-in #Travel Recommendation #Vung Tau #vietnam
