Check-in at the mural wall along the road to Nho Mountain

Visitors come to sightsee and admire paintings on the roadside up to Nho Mountain.

Following the Hai Dang road up to Nui Nho, many people stopped in front of the wall of Ngoc Huong Pagoda because of its beautiful impression. A section of wall about 300m long, winding and curving along the slope of Nui Nho, is decorated with paintings of natural landscapes, famous historical relics of Vietnam and some countries in the world .

The 30 paintings on the wall are the temple's dedicated products, contributing to the beauty of Vung Tau streets and creating more check-in points for locals and tourists. These are paintings of famous relics of Vietnam such as Turtle Tower of Hoan Kiem Lake (Hanoi), Khue Van Cac in Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam (Hanoi), Hoang Su Phi terraced fields ( Ha Giang )... or the Great Wall (China). Viewers are also fascinated by the paintings of majestic mountains, peaceful rivers, peaceful villages at the foot of the mountains and lotus flowers by the lake. Looking at the paintings on the mountainside, breathing in the fresh air... all create a feeling of relaxation and lightness in the soul.

Venerable Thich Nu Nhan Lien, abbot of Ngoc Huong Monastery, said that during the 2021 storm season, the wall of the monastery eroded and collapsed. Faced with the damaged wall, causing loss of safety and urban beauty, in early 2022, the nun asked for permission from the local authorities to repair the wall. In addition to rebuilding the wall, the monastery had paintings painted to create highlights. After more than three years, many paintings had faded and peeled off. Therefore, more than two months ago, the monastery continued to repair the wall and repainted all 30 paintings.

“Seeing that many visitors, especially young people, often go to Nho Mountain to sightsee and check-in, the temple created this highlight. Next to the wall is a trellis of brilliant bougainvillea and bright red royal poinciana flowers, attracting many people to sightsee and take pictures,” said the nun.

Beautiful scenery, fresh air, quietness, and winding, romantic roads are the "plus points" that make Hai Dang road always attractive, attracting many people and tourists to come and have fun and sightsee.

Gracefully dressed in traditional ao dai and conical hats, Ms. Vo Thi Phung and Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Hoa (Luu Chi Hieu Street, Ward 10, Vung Tau City) took many satisfactory photos next to the wall paintings of Ngoc Huong Pagoda. “I am impressed with the paintings of beautiful landscapes and peaceful countryside. This wall of paintings makes the street corner brighter, more civilized and more beautiful,” Ms. Phung said.
