Phu Quoc Attractions - what to see and what to do

Overview of attractions and excursions on Phu Quoc, what to see

Phu Quoc Island is primarily deservedly known for its serene beach holidays and well-developed infrastructure. But besides clean beautiful beaches, the island also has some attractions. Of course, don't expect that by visiting Phu Quoc, you will be able to get to know and understand the history and culture of Vietnam to any extent, as there are almost no historical attractions and temples here. For that, you'll have to visit completely different places in the country. But still, there is a certain minimum of attractions and entertainment. And there are especially many amusement parks here, and in this regard, Phu Quoc has surpassed all other resorts in Vietnam.

One of the main attractions of the island is its nature. It amazes with its splendor and still pristine condition. Relic forests cover the mountains, which is why it is also called the "island of 99 mountains". The height of the highest peak - Chua - is 603 meters. In the north of the island is the Phu Quoc National Park reserve, occupying a large area. In 1986, it received the status of a protected area and is a habitat for 150 species of small animals, including the famous wild dogs of Phu Quoc. In addition, more than 930 species of trees grow here. You can visit some of the national park routes on your own, for example, by going to Suoi Tranh Waterfall or to the Suoi Tien stream, but we'll talk about that in more detail below.

The only historical attraction of Phu Quoc is the famous "Coconut Prison", which is definitely worth visiting. Also of interest here, you can visit several temples and a monastery, visit the private Coi Nguon Museum, go to beautiful locations like the Starfish Beach or the beach with airplanes, stroll through the colorful promenade areas of the new tourist districts Sunset Town and Grand World.

All attractions on Phu Quoc (full list)

• Phu Quoc Coconut Prison

  

  This is the most tragic and sad attraction of the island. It was considered the largest prison in Southeast Asia; during its entire existence, about 32,000 prisoners passed through it. It was originally built in 1946 after the invasion of the island by the French army. Until 1975, it was successfully "filled" with prisoners with the support of US troops and government, and during this period torture and abuse were especially rampant. Today, an open-air museum-prison operates here. You can freely move around the prison territory, enter the barracks open for inspection.

Visitors are not often found here, and probably because of this, the museum space is not in the best condition. There are quite a lot of exhibits for a private collection, but they are all in a neglected state: display cases are dusty, aquarium glasses are dirty and it's hard to see what's inside.

• Fish Sauce Factories

  

  Fish sauce factories on Phu Quoc are not exactly attractions, but they are one of the places where you can get acquainted with the process of making the famous Vietnamese fish sauce Nuoc Mam. This sauce is known not only in Vietnam, but also in many countries around the world. Actually, there are several such factories on the island, as well as sauce producers. They are all located within Duong Dong city and in the center of the island, we visited at least three of them. The most famous and visited is the Khai Hoan factory, which has existed since 1975. Usually, visitors are brought here during an excursion along with pepper plantations and the pearl farm. But, of course, you need to understand that this is a purely commercial event, the purpose of which is not to show you something interesting, but to offer you to buy something. During the visit, a short tour of the production is conducted (be prepared here for a suffocating unpleasant smell), and then, of course, you will be taken to the trading hall.

So far, this area is so new that it can even be called a "ghost town". There are coffee shops and mini-shops here and there, but the epicenter of infrastructure and tourist life here is the night market or Sonasea Shopping Center. This is not quite the usual traditional Asian night market that starts working only after dark. Here it is a long promenade area with a gallery of shops and boutiques, cafes, fast food and all this works during the day as well. But the most interesting begins in the evening, with the arrival of darkness. Right on the pedestrian street, street cafes, stalls with souvenirs and goods for recreation unfold, entertainment appears and a lot of tourists flock here.

  The largest tourist night market on Phu Quoc (Phu Quoc Night Market or Bach Dang Night Market) is located in Duong Dong City. The market area is not very large, mainly everything is concentrated on the main street along the river and in the alleys adjacent to it. Unlike other markets on Phu Quoc located in tourist areas, this one is more "natural" or traditional, not only tourists but also residents of Duong Dong come here in the evenings. There is everything from food to jewelry. The selection of clothing and souvenirs is mediocre, but if you wish, there will be something to choose from. But to eat something exotic and the freshest seafood, this market is definitely worth a visit.

  In various sources and guidebooks, the local market in Duong Dong (Cho Duong Dong, Duong Dong Market) and the Phu Quoc night market are often mistaken for one - the Phu Quoc night market. However, these are different places, they specialize in different goods, and they work at different times.

Everyday products are sold here: fruits, vegetables, herbs, meat, fish, shellfish, reptiles (snakes, toads).

It is widespread throughout Vietnam and is a mixture of Buddhism, Catholicism, Confucianism and Taoism. Followers conduct meditation and spiritualism rituals.

• Su Muon Temple

  

  This is one of the most interesting temples on Phu Quoc, in our opinion a must-visit. It is also called and the name is written as Su Mion, Su Mon, Hung Long Tu or Hung Long Tu. Generally, Phu Quoc cannot boast of beautiful, interesting and large-scale temples, there are very few of them, that's how it turned out historically. Su Muon is definitely one of the largest temples and the highest, because it is located on a mountainside at a height of about 50 meters. But don't worry, you won't have to walk uphill much, an asphalt road leads to the temple area. This place is known among travelers but little visited by mass tourists, and that's even good. The temple is still under construction, and it is quite possible that it will be under construction for decades. Today, several statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a stone figure of a tiger and a dragon are placed on the territory. The main shrine of this temple is considered to be the 800-year-old konia tree (or cup tree), under which Buddha Shakyamuni meditates. More about Su Muon Temple on Phu Quoc.

• Suoi Tien Stream and Waterfall

  

  This is a natural attraction on Phu Quoc, a beautiful and quiet place where you can relax, sunbathe and swim in the refreshing clean water of a stream fed by underground springs. This is one of the cool little-touristy places on the island, which we definitely recommend visiting to all lovers of little-traveled tourist routes.

• Suoi Tranh Waterfall and Park

  

  This is one of the not very popular natural tourist spots on Phu Quoc Island, but in our opinion, definitely worth a visit. Actually, these are two attractions in one, visited with a single entrance fee. After entering, you will first find yourself in a large thematic sculpture park with traditional buildings, and then along the trail you can reach a small waterfall with a natural pool for swimming, where you can cool off from the tropical heat in the waters of a stream fed by underground springs.

True, this may not work during the dry season from December to April, since during this time the underground streams that feed the Da Ban stream may completely disappear, respectively, there will be no waterfall.

Near the parking lot, you may be met by local children who will offer guide services (about 100,000 VND), but if you are at least a little oriented on the terrain, you can do without their help.

• Ho Chi Minh Square and the Old Airport

  

  This is a completely new attraction on Phu Quoc, located in the center of Duong Dong City in the area of the former airport.

• Viewpoint on Tien Son Mountain (Tien Son Dinh)

  

  A popular mountain peak Tien Son Dinh among advanced tourists and local vacationers on Phu Quoc is one of the natural attractions of the island. Its height is no more than 500 meters above sea level, and almost at the very top there is a magnificent viewpoint with views of both coasts of Phu Quoc at once. The ascent is of medium difficulty, takes from 30 minutes to 1 hour one way depending on physical fitness, and for the entire route there and back with rest at the top, it is better to plan 3 hours. We do not recommend going with small children or if you are in unsatisfactory physical shape. Although the route is not very physically difficult, nevertheless in some places along the way there are very steep climbs, and almost all the way you will have to climb over stones and tree roots.

• Hon Mot Island

  

  This is a tiny island off the northeastern coast of Phu Quoc, located just 100 meters from the shore. It is so small that you can walk around it in 5 minutes. And it is notable for being the most accessible island near Phu Quoc, because you can get to it on foot via a wooden bridge. In some guidebooks and on shitty websites, Hon Mot Island is described as a paradise island, a corner with pristine nature and the cleanest beaches. But in reality, everything is not like that at all, but quite the opposite! In fact, nature here is far from ideal, and there is no beach at all. But worst of all, the island is so littered that it has even received the folk nickname "garbage island". It is definitely not worth going here specifically, unless you are passing by.

• Starfish Beach

  

  This is one of the most picturesque attractions of Phu Quoc, and perhaps even the most beautiful beach on the island. In our opinion, it is definitely worth visiting here. You can get here by rented transport or as part of a sightseeing tour of the island that includes a stop at this beach. True, there are peculiarities when visiting, everyone here tries to scam you into a paid boat ride, but in fact, you can visit Starfish Beach completely free of charge. It has gained its popularity for a reason: there is white sand, very clear water and an abundance of large starfish. There are hundreds of starfish here, all lying on the bottom close to the shore. You can look at them through the clear water for hours, and swimming in the warm clear water here is simply a delight. More about Starfish Beach on Phu Quoc.
