Chinese newspaper praises the beauty of Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc has beautiful beaches and world-class tourism infrastructure, highly appreciated by reporters of the Southern China Morning Post.

The Kien Giang Provincial Department of Tourism recently reported that Erika Na, a writer for the Southern China Morning Post, wrote an article describing her journey to explore Phu Quoc with many beautiful words for the pearl island: We walked down narrow cobblestone streets, past buildings painted in warm tones with small windows like those in Mediterranean coastal towns. Along the way, we also passed a place that looked like a complete replica of the Roman Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

But this is Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island. Roughly the size of Singapore, it has become an international resort destination. The best time to visit Phu Quoc is from November to April, when temperatures range from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Two decades ago, Phu Quoc was a peaceful land, mainly inhabited by fishing communities and pepper farmers. However, after the opening of the international airport, Phu Quoc welcomed millions of domestic and foreign tourists.

Sunset Town Phu Quoc is described by Erika Na as being like being in Mediterranean coastal towns.

Erika Na also emphasized that despite rapid development, the island has not lost its unique charm. Currently, Phu Quoc pearl island offers a perfect combination of natural beauty and magical infrastructure for tourists.

The most prominent of these is Sunset Town on the island's southwest coast. Billed as the best place to watch the sunset, the town was modeled after the picturesque villages on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy.

“If it weren’t for the signs and street vendors in Vietnam, visitors might think they were in southern Europe. And while it may be man-made, it still offers a unique experience,” writes Erika Na.

The Kiss of the Sea show in Phu Quoc is not only a show but also a journey that takes visitors through space and time - Erika Na commented.

The fireworks display at the end of the show is also an amazing sight.
