Vung Tau travel guide
Vung Tau, a breezy coastal escape just two hours from Ho Chi Minh City, offers golden beaches, fresh seafood, and colonial charm. Climb the iconic Christ the King statue for panoramic ocean views, visit the historic Lighthouse, and wander the tranquil White Palace. Back Beach (Thuy Van) buzzes with water sports and seafood stalls, while Front Beach offers sunset strolls. With its laid‑back vibe, French-era villas, and the famous “Bánh Khọt” crispy pancakes, Vung Tau is a perfect weekend retreat for city-weary travelers.
