VUNG TAU MUSEUM...!!! One of the most surprising things in this trip to Vung Tau was visiting the Provincial Museum - a place rarely mentioned in travel reviews, but it brings an extremely valuable experience. Luckily, a local friend suggested it, and I learned about this place. The entrance fee is only 40k, but inside is a treasure trove of knowledge and stories about this land. The museum has 4 floors, each floor is a separate world - from nature, culture, life to the heroic history of our ancestors through the ages. The layout is neat, the images and artifacts are vivid, easy to understand, easy to feel. I was really impressed because I didn't expect that in the middle of a coastal city there would be a place that preserves such beautiful history. If you are someone who loves learning about culture - history, or simply want to have a quiet moment during your trip, don't miss this place. A destination that is more worthy than the ticket price. #checkinvietnam #checkinvungtau #checkinbaotang

✈️ The product has been clinically proven to be effective in treating acne scars for up to 20 years WHAT IS IT? “The price is very cheap, only 3 times higher than the market price.” The price is cheap. The price is cheap and reasonable. 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 ... Because I had already booked the SG-VT limousine ticket in advance, I went to the airport, ate there, and waited until about 11:00 to get on the bus and moved to Vung Tau (I booked the round-trip ticket at Toan Thang bus company for 150k/one way and 300k/round-trip) - I got on the bus and slept for a while, and arrived at the hotel around 1:00 p.m. This time, I had a friend waiting for me in Vung Tau, so we booked a hotel room right on the Booking app, which was very convenient and there were many rooms to choose from. I chose Nguyen Trung Hotel located at Phan Huy Chu, Ward 2, Vung Tau, right near the center for easy travel. The price I booked on the app was on sale, so it was very cheap, only 300k/room/day. I rented for 2 days for 2 girls, so each person only spent 300k ^^ (The advantage here is that the hotel room is very spacious and comfortable). After checking in, I was a bit tired because it was a full day of traveling, so on the first day I got there, checked in, slept until the evening, then got up to eat around the city center) * 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Because this was my third time in Vung Tau and I had traveled quite a bit around the city. So on the second day, I decided to check in at "Deo Nuoc Ngot". The address is in Phuoc Hai, Ba Ria - VT province. From the center to Deo Nuoc Ngot, about 30km away, I traveled by motorbike for about 1 hour (I rented a motorbike at the hotel for 150k/day. Because I booked a room on the app, I couldn't book a motorbike, so the owner lent it to us and even filled up the gas for us for free. 10 points for thoughtfulness and enthusiasm) 😉😉 I checked in at Deo Phuoc Hai and walked around that area for the whole morning, so at noon we had Hu Tieu nearby. Because the area around Deo Nuoc Ngot is still quite wild, the atmosphere here feels much more comfortable. However, the sun in Vung Tau is quite harsh, so if possible, you should travel early in the morning to avoid getting tired like us. After eating, we moved back to the hotel to rest. At around 3:00 p.m., we moved to alley 107 Tran Phu to check in. Luckily, we went on a weekday so the alley was quite empty. Around 2-3pm, the sea level rises moderately, so checking in at this time is very beautiful 😉 Right at the beginning of the alley, there is a lady selling drinks. I think you can park your car there, someone will watch it, and you can leave your drinks comfortably. The price of drinks is 15k-25k, which is also very reasonable, so everyone can sit down and check in comfortably ^^

In a corner of time, Vung Tau is like a hidden gem, exuding a unique romance and tranquility. Stepping onto this land felt like stepping into a gentle seaside dream, embarking on a leisurely slow-paced journey. In the early morning, the sun gently sprinkled on the white sandy beach, awakening this coastal town. I strolled along the beach, the fine sand beneath my feet soft and warm. The waves gently lapped at my feet, bringing a touch of coolness. On the distant horizon, the rising sun gradually painted the sky in a magnificent orange-red, complementing the sparkling sea surface, creating a dreamlike beauty. The coastal coconut groves swayed in the breeze, rustling as if playing a natural symphony. Walking along the streets, I was surrounded by buildings full of Vietnamese charm. Colorful houses stood in picturesque disorder, their walls covered with green vines, adding vitality to the town. Local residents bustled about, their faces beaming with simple smiles. I entered a small cafe, ordered a cup of strong Vietnamese coffee, and sat by the window, quietly observing the city's life. The aroma of coffee filled the air, mingling with the sound of waves from outside, creating a refreshing atmosphere. In the afternoon, I visited Vung Tau's landmark attraction, the Christ of Vung Tau statue. This magnificent statue stands on a mountain, overlooking the entire city and the sea. I slowly ascended the steps, admiring the scenery along the way. Reaching the top, the view before me was breathtaking. The entire city of Vung Tau was in full view: the blue sea, the golden beach, the green vegetation, and the scattered buildings formed a picturesque scene. The sea breeze brushed my face, bringing a touch of coolness, and I was immersed in this boundless beauty. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky golden. I went to a seaside restaurant, sat at an outdoor table, and savored the local cuisine. Fresh seafood paired with unique Vietnamese spices created an extremely delicious taste. As I watched the sun slowly set and disappear below the horizon, my heart was filled with reluctance. During this slow-paced time in Vung Tau, I forgot all my worries and fatigue, indulging in the tranquility and beauty of this coastal town. Every moment was like a precious painting, deeply imprinted in my heart, becoming my most unforgettable memory.

Vung Tau, a beautiful coastal city in the South, is just a 2-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, making it a frequent destination for me. The coastal road here is clean and scenic, with the blue sea on one side and mountains on the other. Though small, Vung Tau offers plenty to explore, from its beaches to its rich Southern cuisine. Popular beaches include Thuy Van, Dau, and Dua. Thuy Van beach is the main public swimming area, lined with parks, snack stalls, and plenty of hotels and resorts. For a quieter experience, I prefer Tam Duong beach (Front Beach) with its coconut trees and closer views of ships. This area also offers cafés, souvenir shops, and seafood restaurants. Behind Fusion Suites Hotel, Xom Luoi Market is a must-visit for fresh seafood – a favorite spot where my daughter and I enjoyed picking out live seafood for a custom meal. Vung Tau’s food scene is another highlight. Don’t miss local specialties like banh khot, salted egg sponge cake, Alibaba ice cream, and stingray hotpot. One of our favorite memories is savoring ice cream while watching the sea at night. #VungTauGetaway #CoastalCharm #ExploreVungTau #VungTauFood #HCMCtoVungTau #awesomepic #deliciousfood #couplestrip

Vung Tau is a travel destination that we have never seen before, but it is famous as a vacation spot for Ho Chi Minh people. Front Beach is a popular travel destination in Vung Tau as a large beach, and there is a large park along the beach, so it is a good place to take a walk. The tidal difference is large, so it has a different atmosphere depending on the height of the sea level. When I went, it was high tide, so I could feel the cool sea with the wide horizon. #Vung Tau #Vung Tau Travel #Vung Tau Places to Visit #Vung Tau Beach #Vung Tau Front Beach

Location: Vungtau in Vietnam. Getting there: Vungtao city is located 90 minutes on boat from Ho Chi Minh. We stayed in Vung Tau for four nights at the Cao Hotel. There are two beaches in Vung Tao. One is called front beach and one is called back beach. I recommend staying at front beach. Many five star hotels line up here and you have excellent access to the beach. This beach city is cheaper than most in Asia and it's really nice to swim and relax. Even in the winter, it's warm! #vungtau #vietnam

This statue of Jesus is located in Vung Tau, southern Vietnam. Getting there: Fly to Ho Chi Minh and then get the ferry boat ride to Vung Tau. Not expensive and you will be there in less than two hours. This Jesus statue sits at the top of a hill, similar to the one in Rio. You can climb the steps inside and stand on the arms to get a panoramic view of the beach town. Inside the statue also contains a small museum with art and relics. Well worth viewing. #vietnam #vungtau

Vung Tau is a small, coastal city in the south of Vietnam. On the edge of the city, walking distance is a hill and on top of the hill is the amusement park. There's a cable car that takes people on top and back. The tickets for the cable car and the amusement park ate bought at the cable car entrance. The park is very cheap and the ticket includes everything inside the park. There's also a big swimming pool, with slides inside the amusement park. People can relax on the chair by the pool. There are some restaurants and snack shops around the park. It's definitely worth seeing one or twice. #rediscovertravel

Manager: Three years after the epidemic Finally able to return home There are always some changes To be honest, churches in Vietnam are very diverse. This church is the largest and most beautiful church I have ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to take photos at night. The church is more charming after lighting than during the day. Vung Tau - Tourist City Coffee shops are opening one after another along the coast, and the competition is fierce There are also many unique coffee shops When you go home, besides eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, a coffee shop can also be a place to stay!

It is one of the 2-3 Kong Cafes in Vung Tau It is located with a white hotel building opposite the Vung Tau Church It is easy to find because it is on the main street It is also easy to find Grab The interior is retro and unlike the Kong Cafes in Ho Chi Minh There are almost no customers You can have a good coffee time

Hải Sản Tươi Sống translates to Korean as ''fresh seafood''. If you want a local seafood restaurant, I recommend it. The location is on a main road, so it's easy to visit by Grab. The staff are friendly. The plump tiger shrimp is the best! The mini stir-fried squid goes well with beer^^

Facilities, environment, price, breakfast, view Overall, it was a satisfactory accommodation. The accommodation is divided into upper and lower parts by a road, so when making a reservation, I recommend making a reservation for the side near the sea or the side near the pool. I stayed for 2 nights, but it was a shame that I couldn't use the pool. If you reserve a Vung Tau limousine from Ho Chi Minh Airport, it will take you to the front of the hotel.

Jesus Christ Statue, standing on Mount Nhỏ in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The Vietnamese Catholic Church built this statue in 1974 and it was completed in December 1994. The statue is the largest Christian statue across Asia since 2012, which is 32 metres (105 ft) high statue of Jesus extending his 18.3 metres (60 ft) long arms on the top of 170 metres (558 ft) high Nho Mount in Vung Tau. Again, this is the most amazing place you should visit in Vung Tau! Hope you like this post if you found this useful. Cheers :) #awesomepic #jesus #statue #vietnam
