Vung Tau Recce

Headed for Binh Chau Hotspring - took about 3 hours. Then drop by Ho Coc Beach which will soon be developed into a 4* or 5* resort. Reached Vung Tau and climbed up Small Mountain to the Jesus statue. Tried to find a way to trek to the lighthouse on the other peak of Small Mountain. We believed we found a way, little knowing that it's a restricted military zone...lol. Then the sky gave way and we were totally drenched. Great trek!

Actually, Mr. Tan, I think the Rio De Janeiro Jesus statue is bigger than this one, but I guess with sizes that big the differences are hard to tell...

Oh yeah, Melvin here from 1E2 2002, Christ Church Secondary, hope you remember me! Haha...

Hi Melvin, wonderful to hear from you. According to the brochure I bought, the Vietnamese claim it to be so. Must check this up again...
