Vung tau, only 60 kilometer from Saigon(HCMC) is a nice place for Saigon people to relax. It is also called as the place of rich as most of the rich people have at least one house in VungTau.
The distance can be covered with a fast funfilled trip in motor boat which will take 80 minutes to reach Vung tau or the bus services, which will be cheap (only 50000VND) but will take 2 and half hour.
Including the beautiful and clean beaches of Vung tau, the other main attraction also includes its beautiful pagodas and coffee shops, the hound race (only on saturday evening) and above all a Jesus Christ big statue made in the style of Brazil which is the must see place. Weekends the hotel prices goes up and the place will be mostly crowded with the Saigon people. If you are planning to visit Vung Tau in wekend it is always better to book the hotel in advance before you drop down there.
Hound Race is arranged a little away from sea beach and a taxi can be taken to reach there. If you can predict better that which dog will win, will make you earn money in few minutes. The betting on hound Race is legal and there are counters to manage this.
The pagodas location and beauty will pull you inside when you are crossing it. Some pagodas are located right beside the sea beach and endless water can be seen form top of pagoda. The incense sticks and and silence in pagoda with a view of Ocean will let you enjoy an intense pleasure.
Bicycle and bikes are easily available on rent. If you are never tired Kind of person renting motor bike and exploring the city is the best way I can propose.
