Unique tourist projects

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 feel but is different from the original with smaller windows to reduce sunlight, a slightly steeper roof to drain rainwater, and a cool green garden.

This destination deserves to be the new symbol of Phu Quoc in the form of a "giant art museum". Here, there are many architectural works with bold artistic features such as Sun Signature Gallery - an event and festival center with the appearance of a Mid Century Modern art museum; Clock Tower - inspired by the St. Mark's Campanile bell tower (Italy) with a height of 75 m; Sun God fountain created by sculpting geniuses from the Italian Frilli family; or Central Village located at the foot of the clock tower, featuring the 6-star hotel La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio by Hilton.

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 30 cm apart, and that small boundary is the most beautiful sunset spot 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 visitors back to Italy.

Meanwhile, Mr. Graham Cooke - Chairman and founder of the World Travel Awards (WTA) commented: “There are many outstanding projects in the world, many of which are in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, even in Europe, and I think Sunset Town deserves to be in the elite Premier League of all new iconic projects and has a huge potential to become the world's leading new destination”.
