There are many beautiful beaches famous in the world, such as Bai Kem ranked in the top 50 most beautiful beaches on the planet by Flight Network - Canada's largest travel network; or Bai Sao voted by readers of Condé Nast Traveler (CN Traveler) as one of the 10 most pristine and quiet beaches in the world, along with famous beaches in Fiji, Maldives, and Australia.

This island is emerging as a destination for unique tourist attractions that are rarely found anywhere else in the world.

Those iconic works of Phu Quoc include Hon Thom cable car - the world's longest 3-wire cable car system, taking visitors from the center of An Thoi town to Hon Thom island.

Sunset Town has a strong Mediterranean color but is unique in the world, different from the original with smaller windows to reduce sunlight, a slightly steeper roof to drain rainwater, and a cool green garden.

The focal point of Sunset Town is the Kiss Bridge - a bridge on the sea as beautiful as a sculpture, with two branches, each 400m long, like two soft silk strips stretching out to sea.

The two branches of the bridge are about 30cm apart, and that small boundary is the most beautiful place to "welcome" the sunset around Christmas and New Year.

In addition to its unique architecture, this beautiful bridge also carries a message of love and connection between people and people, people and the universe.

Talking about Sunset Town, the travel section of Australia's leading newspaper - The Sydney Morning Herald gave special praise, saying that this town brings tourists back to Italy.
