The statues of 14 Stations of the Cross were made by the sculptor Van Nhan since the early 60s. The stone steps are wide, with a width of 4-5 meters, creating very beautiful curves, with bridges of reinforced concrete, imitation of wooden planks, bridge walls and roads bearing the appearance of rough tree branches enhances the mountainous look of the painful journeys that the Redeemer passed through to climb Calvary Mountain to die for humanity.

2. Holy Mother of God Monument

The pure white image of the Virgin, standing out in the middle of the mountainous landscape or on the blue sky, has become familiar to Bai Dau, in harmony with the view of the Big Mountain (also known as Tuong Ky Mountain) which is 269 meters high.

From Vung Tau City, go through the coastal road past Bach Dinh towards Bai Dau, right on the road around the mountainside, one can still see the Holy Mother of God Monument.

At the foot of the monument is the ossuary room, the resting place of the children who once lived under Mother’s loving eyes and when they passed away, still hoped to be protected by their mother.

3. Bai Dau Church

The church’s architecture evokes a boat, under the protection and guidance of Mary, with the mast being a 29 meters high bell tower holding up the Holy Cross.

With a width of 26 meters and a length of 46 m, Bai Dau church can accommodate 1000 people. The front of the church is a place that can serve as a sanctuary for important ceremonies attended by hundreds of concelebrating priests.

5. Dang Man Coi Station

Dang Man Coi has been around for a long time with mountain trails that bring the footsteps of pilgrims into the vast nature of mountains and clouds. When repairing the monument, the road transporting supplies became the Dang Man Coi, completed at the end of 1995, including 15 Mysteries of the Rosary: Joy, Sorrow, and Joy.

It must be said: Dang Man Coi is a beautiful work of God’s motherland, with stone steps leading from the mystery of the Annunciation, above the church, weaving through the rocks and groves of poetic and cool trees, climbing near the monument with the mystery of the glorious Mother Mary in heaven.
