The enormous 28m figure of Jesus gazing
across the East Sea with outstretched arms is located at the
southern end of Small mountain.
Built in 1971, this Giant Jesus rests on a 10m high platform.
The interior of the statue is hollow and contains a spiral
staircase of 129 steps, ascending from the foot of the statue
to its neck. The two shoulders of the figure are balconies,
each able to accommodate up to six people, which offer a
splendid view of the surrounding landscape.
This is the largest sculpture in the South of Vietnam. Recent
construction of a pathway has made the 30-minute hike up the
mountain more pleasant and the panoramic view from various
vista points along the way is magnificent.
