Christ of Vung Tau

This large statue of Jesus Christ was built on the densely forested Mount Nho in Vũng Tàu, Vietnam, by the Vietnam Catholic Association. Standing imposingly on the top of Nho Mountain (a Small Mountain) in Vung Tau City, the 32-meter statue was originally built in 1974 at an altitude of 170 meters facing the sea. It was not until 1994 that the statue was completely finished and firstly welcomed as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that has ever had in Vung Tau in particular and in Vietnam in general.

People can climb using an internal staircase to reach the top of the granite and concrete monument, and see some spectacular views. The metallic halo rays near the head are not just for decoration, but they also act as lightning rods.

On Thuy Van Street, which runs alongside Vung Tau City's beachfront, is where you'll find the statue of Jesus. Given how well-known it is and how simple it is to get to, you won't have much trouble finding the Jesus statue. To get to the arm of Jesus Christ, you must climb more than 1000 stone steps, which presents the sole difficulty for travelers. It is a lengthy trip, to be honest, but there are numerous rest places where hikers may take a breather, get some water, and capture some memories of the sea and the surroundings below. Besides, the path along the route is decorated by many trees and flowers, especially plumeria flowers, spreading its fragrance around the location.
