Jesus Christ Statue

Jesus Christ Statue – Vũng Tàu Climbing up the hill is already an unforgettable experience by itself! The statue of Jesus Christ at the southern tip of Vũng Tàu is not only a spiritual landmark but also a natural wonder. The climb of nearly 900 steps is a challenge, but the reward is breathtaking—panoramic views of the coastline and city that make the effort completely worthwhile. Inside the statue itself, the atmosphere is serene and inspiring. Just a note for visitors: to enter the statue, you’ll need to wear long trousers and sleeves. If you don’t have them, there’s a shop at the top where you can purchase suitable clothing. Overall, this is a must-visit spot in Vũng Tàu—whether for faith, history, or simply the beauty of nature.

No fee for entry and motorcycle parking. The way up is steep at some places. However, there are many rest stops with shade and store. I would recommend to go at 7am, the opening time. I went there around 10am and the sun is unbearable during the climb. The views are worth it though. There are many nice spots on the way up and at the top. Sitting under the shade, enjoying the view with the sea breeze is totally worth the climb.

Over 850 shallow brick steps lead up to this majestic statue with the remaining 50ish stairs to climb up inside the statue to literally stand on Jesus' shoulder. Along the way, there are seats and pavilions with statues of the disciples but minimal shade. Midway, there's a shop that sells drinks and ice cream (brilliant biz idea) but note that ALL shops here close from 11.30am to 1.30pm for lunch break, including the cafe and souvenir shops at the base. It was hot but windy the day we hiked here, and hazy so the ocean view was not as clear. But we were too busy puffing up to worry about that. It's a challenging hike for the unfit, but the view of the statue was a benediction. I'd recommend an early morning hike, which is easier without the heat. Wear proper shoes; for ladies, make sure to cover shoulders and wear bottoms past the knee to avoid the guards hassling you. Sadly, they only learnt one rule to police, which is manmade and not Godlike. But such is (any) religion. I will say the toilets here are impressively clean and the whole area is well maintained. A journey to try at least once.

Interesting climb up. Nice views Note: the rules require a dress code of proper covering and modest dressing. Umbrellas are not allowed. It not too hot. Suggest to climb in the morning hours. Before 11 am. You can stay up for an hour enjoying the view

I visited the Christ the King Statue on Núi Nhỏ (Small Mountain) in Vũng Tàu, and overall it was a very peaceful and meaningful experience — but a few things could be better maintained. What’s great: • The statue is 32 m tall, with arms spanning around 18.3–18.4 m, making it one of the largest Jesus statues in Asia.  • To get there, you climb about 800+ stone steps through a lush, shaded path.  • Inside the statue, there is a spiral staircase of 133 steps that takes you up to the shoulders, offering a bird’s-eye view of Vũng Tàu and the coastline.  • Under the base of the statue, there’s a historic area with old cannons from colonial times, which adds a nice historical layer to the spiritual visit.  • The spot is very serene — a great place for reflection, photos, and enjoying panoramic sea views.  What could be improved: • While the lower path and surrounding area are clean and well-kept, the top of the statue (near the arms) seemed less maintained. Some parts look worn, and I think they should invest more in restoration or upkeep. • The climb is not easy: some stairs are very narrow, so it can be a bit challenging, especially for people not used to steep or tight staircases. Tips if you go: • Wear comfortable shoes and take your time walking up — there are resting spots along the way.  • Try to go on a weekday or early morning to avoid crowds. • Bring water or take advantage of rest stops, especially if you’re planning to climb all the way inside to the arms. Overall: A very worthwhile visit — spiritually uplifting with beautiful views. But I hope the management gives more attention to maintaining the upper part of the statue.

Vietnam Jesus Statue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended tourist place. Need to climb Appx 800 stone steps to reach the top of the hill and another 25-30 steps to reach the top of the statue. Awesome view of the sea, fresh air and lifetime experience

Sort of a replica of the one in Rio. Been there as well few years back. So I must say that this is a good replica, actually. Nice climb through the stairs. Good exercise, if you love activity tourism. On a hot day though, it'll make you sweaty. So be prepared. I went on breezy day, with great weather. Great views along the climb and from the base level of the statue. The strong wind enhanced the views with more waves in the ocean and more wavering trees. You can go to the top of the statue for a 360° view as well. But that you are not allowed, if you're wearing shorts. Clean washrooms. No tickets required. Not for the elderly, small children and people who can't climb stairs.

Visited in December 2025. No entrance fee. You can walk up the 811 stairs also in shorts. Only if you want to go up inside the statue you need to cover knees and shoulders. The view points are well maintained and clean. You have, if weather conditions allow it, a very nice 360 degrees view from the top. Lots of benches an shadow to rest. Restrooms on the top of the hill. In general a nice experience.
