Vung Tau
Vietnam
Border Crossing
Vung Tau is a coastal city on a small peninsula in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, the most popular beach escape for residents of Ho Chi Minh City just 90 minutes away by hydrofoil. The 32-metre Christ the King statue on the hilltop, the two main beaches of Bai Truoc and Bai Sau, and fresh seafood restaurants make it a favourite Vietnamese weekend destination.
