Leave the busy city streets behind to witness breathtaking coastal views from one of Vung Tau’s most iconic landmarks.

You can enjoy views of Vung Tau’s iconic Statue of Christ from all over the city, but none match the view from close quarters. Hike up the picturesque Mount Nho and gaze up at the foot of the giant statue. Then climb inside for breathtaking views back across the city and coastline.

Construction began on Vung Tau’s Statue of Christ (Tuong Dai Chua Kito Vua) in 1974 but it was not completed for over 20 years, partly due to its enormous size. It has an arm span of 60 feet (18 metres). At a height of 105 feet (32 metres) it is 7 feet (2 metres) taller than Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.

Start your ascent of the steps carved into Mount Nho that will lead you to the foot of the Statue of Christ. You’ll pass through wooded areas and neatly planted gardens with fragrant flowers. If you’re not used to hill climbing, don’t worry. Use the regular rest areas with benches to break up the walk. Most people can make it to the top comfortably in less than 30 minutes. Wear a good pair of shoes and be sure to bring drinking water. Make the walk early in the morning before the day gets too hot.

Once you’ve reached the top, take a few moments to rest and admire the giant figure from a close perspective. Check out the plinth where Christ stands. This features a carving that depicts a scene from The Last Supper.

If you have the energy for a little more climbing, head up the thin staircase inside the statue. The view is well worth the extra effort, as the 133 steps will take you to two small platforms on the end of either arm. Enjoy sweeping panoramic vistas across the city and the shimmering ocean below.

The Statue of Christ is open every day until late afternoon. Wear clothes that cover your knees and shoulders in order to be allowed to enter the statue. There is no admission fee but donations are appreciated.
