EnglishVung Tau is a city that possesses a unique charm that not every seaside region has. Vung Tau impresses travelers not only with its blue sea and white sand but also with its well-known distinctive tourist spots. If you haven’t had the chance to explore all the “nooks and crannies” of this vibrant coastal city, let’s join PETRO HOUSE (Boutique Hotel) to discover Vung Tau more open with many gorgeous locations that will make you fall in love without leaving.
While it also goes by the name Thuy Van Beach, Back Beach is more popular among locals and visitors. Back Beach has a harmonic beauty that creates a spectacular image in front of the East Sea: the pale cream color of the sand dunes stretching in succession, the green color of the old and immense casuarina forest, the rows of coconut palms, and the shining, cool pure blue of the water. The terraces of wooden motels are designed in the form of communal cottages, simple yet incredibly attractive and elegant, fitting perfectly with the gorgeous landscape surrounding them. Back Beach, with its fresh air and charming views, will provide you with a sense of calm after a long day at work.
If Back Beach has a soothing beauty in the natural sunshine of a tropical climate, Front Beach has a different, more vibrant way, reflecting the breath of a prosperous and comfortable life. Front Beach, also known as Tam Duong Beach, is a small semicircular bay located between Big Mountain and Small Mountain. On both sides of Front Beach are large and small boulders that create a “wall” that surrounds the beach. This location combines wild beauty with the deep blue sea. Immersing yourself in the blue water with your family and friends beneath the warm light of the sun in the early morning will undoubtedly be an experience you will never forget.
The Vung Tau Lighthouse is one of the oldest in Vietnam. This structure is created in the style of Western architecture and consists of a cylindrical tower 18 meters high and coated in white. The lighthouse is connected to the operational area by a solid tunnel. Passing through the tunnel, you need to climb 55 stairs to reach the top of the tower. You will enjoy the fresh wind coming through the sea as you ascend the spiral way to the top of the tower, zooming in on the panoramic picture of Vung Tau City. Anyone who comes here will be astonished and amazed by its exceptional beauty’s unique and creative design.
4. Piggie Hill (Con Heo Hill)
Piggie Hill with its wild features mixes with the mystery of the rocky road, the nature and poetry of the dry grass hill, and the greatness and magnificence of the sky and sea… All of this fosters a unique appeal that draws both residents and tourists. This place has two typical southern climate seasons: the rainy season with grassy fields and the unexpected dry season. Standing atop Con Heo Hill, you will have to take in the sight of the long sandy beach of Back Beach, as well as a deep blue sea and sky. Zooming out, you can view the entire dazzling Vung Tau City and feel the essence of the peaceful sea breeze.
Book Street in Vung Tau is located on Ba Cu Street, with two sides surrounding the tree-lined park and facing the Front Beach. This avenue has a lot of interesting books, including uncommon foreign language novels that you cannot find in Saigon or Hanoi. Reading a book, sitting and resting with a cup of coffee, and enjoying Vung Tau’s cool atmosphere and sea wind is a truly intimate experience unlikely any other.
Bach Dinh is named after the French word for white villa, Villa Blanche. Bach Dinh is a 3-story structure, 19m high, and 25m long, the complete house is whitewashed, with arched doors, and a tiled roof. The floor includes various windows because of French design, and each window has a different view, providing a sense of calm. The majority of the materials used to create Bach Dinh are porcelain enamel. As you wander around, you will notice stunning European women's faces, peacocks opening their wings with shimmering silver sparkles, and curving carps that appear to be dragons. The sunshine makes the sculptures even more dazzling and enchanting at dawn and evening.
