This is the statue of mother marry. The rise of the Christian cross on the mountain top. Along the way met the 15 Biblical scenes the way of Jesus Christ. Lifting heavy, but it is worth it. Types from the top are excellent. I recommend to visit early in the morning before the heat or in the evening under the sun can throw a couple of liters of water with you.

Every time I come down to Vung Tau, I climb the 811 stairs. If you want to visit inside the statue, don't wear a singlet (men or women). Obviously, the various views are wonderful and make up for the hard work climbing!

We organised our tour through Belly's Watering Hole in Vung Tau, and aren't we glad we did. We had 2 Australian guides who were very informative and great blokes to boot. We were fortunate enough to have 3 Vietnam Vets on the tour with us who made it extra special. It's an experience I will never forget. It's only $60 AUD Per person and all money goes back into helping the community to build houses and help struggling families. Visit VTVFCF.org for more information or head to Belly's and book directly. They need a minimum 4 people to hire the van so if you give them a couple of days notice they will ask around for others to join the tour.

We saw the island "floating" in the ocean (as islands do) but noticed a temple on it and wondered "how do you get there?" After some research and tide chart analysis, we set our clocks for wee early in the morning on a day when the tide was at its lowest and made the trek. I had no idea the path would be SO WIDE and full of amazing shells! The walk to the island is amazing, the temple is full of activity and the scenery is beautiful. Definitely worth seeing if you're in Vung Tau!

I visited the White Palace in October 2019. It is an older structure and in need of some maintenance. However, it does represent and has artifacts and furniture from the era when it was lived in. It is an interesting place with a lot of history and I recommend a visit if in the area.
