| Saigon-Vung Tau (full day) |
An excursion to the
South China Sea, whose beach cities are very
popular among the locals for long
weekends.
Vung Tau is a resort town in the
province of Dong Nai 125 km from Saigon. The town
is a long strip approximately 14 km long and 6 km
wide. Where the southern tip of town meets the
ocean stand two famous mountains Nui Lon (Truong
Ky) and Nui Nho (Tao Phung) or Large mountain and
Small mountain.
Historically, Vung Tau used to
be part of Bien Hoa. The first settlements in this
area occurred during the reign of King Gia Long.
During this period, there were many Malay bandits
in this region. They often enter the area through
Song Be entrance from the ocean. This created a
threat for merchants in the Gia Dinh area.
King
Gia Long sent three garrisons of troops to the
area to quell the disturbance and to clear this
area for settlement. A few years later, the
bandits were driven away and in 1822, King Ming
Mang rewarded the three officers who led the army
to this region. The soldiers were allowed to
retire and brought their families to this area to
make a living. The first three successful
settlements in this area were under the leadership
of the three officers who originally led the
troops here. Thang Nhat (first win) township,
Thang Nhi (second win) township and Thang Tam
(third win) township were led by Mr. Pham Van
Dinh, Mr. Le Van Loc, and Mr. Ngo Van Huyen
respectively. Ever since then, this area is known
as Tam Thang or Three Wins. The name Vung Tau came
about because the geography in this area also
forms a natural bay where many merchant ships
would stop to seek shelter. In time, this area
became known as Vung (puddle) Tau (ships). Another
name for this area is Cap Saint Jacques or Au Cap
in French.
