Đức Mẹ Bãi Dâu
A Catholic pilgrimage site near Dau Beach on the northern foot of Big Mountain. Stations of the Cross climb the slope to a giant statue of Mary, with views over the bay.
Our Lady of Bai Dau Pilgrimage Center lies at the northern foot of Big Mountain, in the Dau Beach (Bãi Dâu) area, and is an important Catholic pilgrimage site in southern Vietnam. Fourteen Stations of the Cross, sculpted along the hillside, lead up to a huge white statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. The path is lined with lush trees, and from the platform at the top you can look out over the bay and the fishing boats. Dau Beach below is a small, quiet pebble beach with many seafood restaurants. Entry is free; the site is open roughly 06:00 to 18:00. Dress modestly. It can be visited together with Thich Ca Phat Dai.
