Vung Tau

Big Mountain

Mary with the child, the pagoda, and the cable car. Not the Christ statue.

Mary and the pagoda

Our Lady of Mulberry Beach is the white Mary holding the child, on the slope above Bãi Dâu. The statue was built in 1992, stands 32 metres at 60 metres above the sea, and was inaugurated on 31 December 1994. She is not Christ the King.

Thích Ca Phật Đài is the pagoda complex on Trần Phú: a seated figure, a 12 metre reclining figure, and the sculptures of Siddhartha’s life. It is a separate visit from the Christ statue.
