Vung Tau

is popular for its beaches; it is a nice getaway from the traffic of the city at only one hour and 15 minutes from Ho Chi Min City by hydrofoil. The Vina and Petro Express hydrofoils depart and return to the city every couple of hours. When you arrive, check out Back Beach for nightlife and Mulberry Beach for those in search of less karaoke. Other attractions are large and small mountain circuits, the lighthouse and the Giant Jesus. Golfers should spend time enjoy an international standard 27-hole golf course opens to non members, except on Saturdays and Sundays.
