Hello Hiver. Especially those who love to travel, love to explore. Today I would like to introduce to you my trip to the largest statue of Christ in Asia, located in a small mountain, in Vung Tau city.

This is a top tourist attraction in Vung Tau. The statue of God was built in 1974. The statue of Christ has a height of 32m, a span of 18.3m and stands at a height of 170m. Inside there is even a staircase to climb to the shoulder of the god.

Small scene just entering the gate.

Statue of Lord at the address: Thuy Van, Ward 2, Vung Tau city, Ba Ria - Vung Tau. Facing the sea, back leaning against the mountain. From a distance, you can see a small statue of Christ, very majestic and beautiful.
Inside the area to visit the Statue of Christ is very wide and very high, about 800-900m above the ground. This place is free to visit. There are also very clean public restrooms.

The architecture here is very beautiful. The way up to the Statue of Christ is quite far, you need to have enough physical strength and enough patience and bring enough drinking water. The way to the Statue of Christ is made of stone steps, very easy to walk. Through the winding sections, there is a place to rest, and there are stone benches for you to stop and rest. Along the two sides of the path is a forest with a lot of trees, and flowers and perennials grow on both sides of the path, making me feel like I'm walking in the middle of the forest.

At the time of my visit, it was at 1-3 pm, this time the sun was quite strong, but when I stepped inside, it was not as harsh as the outside because the Christ statue sightseeing area was covered with a lot of green trees. That's why the path to the Statue of Christ becomes less difficult.

However, the time to travel from the ground up to the Statue of Christ and back to the ground lasts at least 2 hours at the fastest. You can take a leisurely walk and enjoy the view of Vung Tau beach every time you cross the slope. Although travelling is quite tiring, the view of the Vung Tau sea when viewed from the Statue of Christ is really beautiful.

There are also miniatures and statues of Jesus along the path, with different emotions and poses. The sculptures are meticulously sculpted and soulful, creating a very lively statue.
