2. Thich Ca Phat Dai

   The Thich Ca Phat Dai Pagoda, built between 1961 and 1963, lies on Lon Mountain. Within the monastery compound is a 6-metre tall statue of Buddha and a Zen monastery at the foot of the mountain. The dense foliage inside the compound houses a variety of birds. This path is lined with statues that display important events in the life of Gautam Buddha, and there also is a stupa and six dragon statues along the way. Pagoda lies in the harmonious combination between its architectural structure and the natural surroundings, especially the white cement construction of the giant statue of Buddha perched on a 4.5 meter high pedestal shaped like a lotus blossom.

3. Probably the most famous seafood restaurant in Vung Tau, Ganh Hao is something of a logistical miracle. This is one of those enormous places that churns through hundreds of diners a day, but still seems to deliver tasty seafood, as ordered, and in reasonable time. Set by the sea in the open air, Ganh Hao serves great lunch.

4. White Palace

   Bach Dinh, or the White Palace of Vung Tau City is located at 4 Tran Phu Street, on the slop of Big Mountain. Standing 50 meter above the sea level, White Palace has its French name which is La Villa Blanche. Tracing back to the year of 1898, it was considered as a summer holiday villa of French Governor General Paul Doumer. This palace was named after his lovely daughter. Unfortunately, while the structure was being built, Doumer had to come back to France and became the President of France later. It was not until 1916 that it was officially used for holiday resting of some Indochina-French Governors. Once visiting the White Palace, you will be attracted by its all white appearance, which is the reason why people here call it “Bach Dinh” (“Bach” means white color in Vietnamese). Since it was designed and constructed by French, this three-floor building was strongly influenced by French and a little bit Greek style with the height of 19 meters and length of 25 meters
