Breathtaking beauty of Phu Quoc from bird’s eye view
Boasting as Pearl Island, Phu Quoc is a peaceful tropical paradise, floats in the warm turquoise water in Kien Giang so it is impossible for visitors to resist its amazing beauty from bird’s eye view.
Phu Quoc Island boasts idyllic beaches, romantic sunsets, evergreen forests, and a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal holiday destination for travellers looking to escape bustling city life. Located 45 kilometres west of Ha Tien in the far south of Vietnam, the northern part of the island is relatively untouched due to its status as a UNESCO-listed national park but there are plenty of luxurious resorts, funky bars, and quaint cafes along the southern coastline.
Aside from beachside activities, visitors can also explore traditional villages, expansive nature parks and Buddhist pagodas, all of which are easily accessible via motorcycle, taxi, bus or even daytrips by reputable companies. Catering to just about any budget level and preference, Phu Quoc’s dining scene ranges from local markets selling fresh seafood and Vietnamese street food to expat-owned bistros offering authentic western and European fare.
In Phu Quoc, you can visit famous places such as Duong Dong, Duong To, An Thoi, Ham Ninh, Rach Vem, Dai beach, Vong beach, Khem beach, Sao beach, Ganh Dau, Cua Can, Tranh stream, Da Ban stream, Mong Tay island, Doi Moi island etc.
