Bach Dinh is located on an area of about 6 hectares, half growing verbenaceae – a rare and precious type of timber tree in the Southeast and Central Highlands, and half growing porcelain flowers. There are two roads for visitors to reach Bach Dinh from the bottom of Lớn mount. One is a winding road amidst lines of verbenaceae for cars. The other is 146 paved steps between two rows of porcelain flowers for pedestrians. Here tourists can contemplate a peaceful and fresh atmosphere and sightsee the most beautiful scenery.

The outside walls of Bach Dinh are also meticulously decorated with a charming European woman face, a pair of peacocks with sparkling wings and a pair of beautiful carps.

When arriving here, visitors cannot help being surprised as if you are lost in an ancient castle amidst a mysterious forest.

Visit The Observatory

Tourists will have an opportunity to be immersed in an extremely poetic and stunning natural landscape when travelling to Bach Dinh. In front of the villa is a hut overlooking the sea which people call the observatory. From here, visitors can have a holistic view of Bai Truoc, Nhỏ mount and Lớn mount. If people look down, they can see Hai Nguu islet – a rock protruding into the sea which shapes like a buffalo wallowing in water. This used to be the fishing place for former owners of Bach Dinh in Vung Tau. 

Visit The History Museum

Since 1991, a part of Bach Dinh has been used as a museum displaying about 8000 unique artifacts. They were found in an excavation in 1990, which included over 34 thousand ceramic and 28 thousand porcelain artifacts. Their material, shape and pattern show that their origin was from China, featuring European marks and sophisticated techniques. 

Learn About The History Of Bach Dinh

It is possible for tourists to hire a presenter here to understand more about the origin of this white villa. After the invasion of Indochina, French took control, they began to construct works for accommodation and relaxation.

At that time, Phuoc Thang Fort was chosen to build a resort villa for the Governor General of Indochina – Paul Doumer. He personally approved the project and named it Villa Blanche after his daughter, Blanche Richel Doumer.

In 1898, the Villa Blanche project was officially started and it took 4 years to be completed. Because of its white color, Vietnamese people later called Bach Dinh.

When Bach Dinh was in construction, Governor-General Paul Doumer had to return home, so the successor of Governor – General Paul Beau became the first owner of this magnificent and gland mansion. 

In 1992, Bach Dinh was recognized as a national historical and cultural relic. Then, this place was restored and renovated into a tourist attraction.
