Long Sơn is a peaceful rural district on the mainland, just a bridge away from Vung Tau city. It is famous for its spiritual sites, particularly the massive Long Sơn Pagoda with its towering Buddha statue. The area feels like a step back in time, with lush green fields, small villages, and a slower pace of life. Visitors often combine a trip here with a visit to Long Son Island, as the bridge connects the two. It's an ideal spot for those interested in Vietnamese religious architecture and rural landscapes.
Don't miss
- Visit Long Sơn Pagoda and its giant Buddha statue.
