Three must-try dishes when traveling to Phu Quoc

Nkhum
One of the most bizarre shellfish that you should try is probably nkhum - sea urchin. It's brown and looks like coconut. There are two options for eating this dish: raw, or after careful heat treatment. If raw food does not cause discomfort, do not miss the opportunity to taste nkhum raw. When you order nkhum, the seller cuts the whole nkhum in half horizontally like a coconut.

Nhong fish will also serve as a good decoration for salad. It is used to prepare “goi ka” - fish salad. Secret good salad lies in making the right choice fish and preparing the sauce. The fish should be fresh, and the fillets should be cut very thin. Before eating the fish, sprinkle it with lime juice. Then place the fish and some vegetables on a slice of rice cake and dip into the sauce. The sauce is a mixture of garlic, chili, peanuts, lime juice, fish sauce and small quantity Sahara.

On your plate you can find this fish in three versions: boiled, fish balls and pieces of well-fried fillet. Different ways cooking and serving this fish gives this dish a more fanciful taste.

What to see in Phu Quoc

SUNG HUNG PAGODA
According to the Mahayana, Sung Hung Pagoda is one of the oldest pagodas in Phu Quoc. It is located at the foot of the mountain near the center of Duong Dong. There is no exact information about who and when exactly the pagoda was built. Old-timers talk about two different pagodas, which were called “Sung Nghia” and “Hung Nhan” and were built long before her; then these names merged together, and today the whole thing is called “Sung Hung Pagoda”. According to rumors, it was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The pagoda was restored twice: in 1924 and 1960.
Sung Hung Pagoda has an architecture unique to ancient pagodas. Its doors face north. The pagoda is surrounded by huge trees, and its structure resembles a staircase, which gets higher and higher with every step. It has an impressive triangle-shaped gate leading to the statue of "Avolokitesvara Bodhisattva" (the embodiment of the infinite compassion of all Buddhas or the Goddess of Mercy) located in the middle of the courtyard. Inside is a carefully decorated main hall. The altar of the temple is located in the main hall, in which three Buddhas sit on a raised platform: Amitabha in the middle, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva on the right and Avolokitesvara Bodhisattva on the left. Behind the statues is Cao Sanh's famous masterpiece, the Flying Dragon.
There are also many other decorations inside the pagoda, such as the "Dai Hong Chung" - a large bell, and many engraved quotes on the philosophy of Chinese Buddhism.
Visiting Sung Hung Pagoda is quite easy as it is located near the center of Duong Dong city. Free admission. The pagoda is open to the public from 7.00 to 17.30.

KAU PALACE
One of the most famous attractions of Phu Kok is located on the west coast of the island. The palace was erected relatively recently, in 1937, in honor of the goddess of the seas, Thien Hau. It’s worth getting to the palace if only for the picturesque views of the mouth of the Duong Dong River. A special spectacle is in store for those who enter the palace at the end of November (15-16 day of the tenth lunar month according to the Buddhist calendar), when the palace hosts a festival dedicated to Thien Hau.

COCONUT PRISON
Coconut Prison, also known as Phu Coc Prison, is located in An Thoi City. The name “coconut” arose during the Indochina War and the rule of French colonists in Vietnam. At that time there were four sectors in the prison: “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”; the prison is believed to have housed up to 14,000 prisoners. However, at the end of the Indochina War, most of the prisoners returned home under the Geneva Accords.
With the beginning Vietnam War American troops They built a new prison under the same name. The new prison had separate sectors for men, women and the elderly. Over time, another part of the prison was built in 1966, intended for Vietnamese soldiers serving their sentences. In the new part of the prison there were 12 separate sectors. Each sector was divided into four more sectors. The prison was guarded very strictly, surveillance was carried out around the clock.
Today, Coconut Prison has been designated a National Historic Heritage site since 1986 and now serves as a tour site and is a living testimony to war crimes. Some instruments of torture that were once tested on prisoners are kept here to this day. For example, you can see the “Katso Tiger Cage”, in which the prisoner was in complete darkness for a long time and after being released from this tiger cage, the prisoners most often went blind.

MAGIC WELL
Magic well Giếng Ngự located 2 km from An Thoi. The beautiful landscapes of the lake and the green mountain slopes of the island undoubtedly cause genuine delight among tourists. On the mountain there is a small temple and a throne made of pink stone, known as the “Royal Throne”. When approaching the Magic Well, you can see a stele in the place where the “Royal Sword” entered, and from where a cool spring later gushed out.
The magic well has not only historical, but also mystical meaning, which travelers to Phu Kok should not miss. In the 17th century, fleeing from Tai-son's pursuing troops, King Nguyen and his warriors were exhausted from thirst due to lack of fresh water. To survive, the king had no choice but to raise his sword to the heavens and pray to the Almighty: “If the Almighty still wants to see me as king, then may he send us food and water.” As soon as the king plunged his sword into the ground after this prayer, a stream of clean water began to flow from underground to everyone’s amazement.
Choosing Phucoc Island as a refuge to rest and recover from his defeat in the Thai Son rebellion, King Nguyen was able to defeat Ty Son's troops and a few years later take control of the Saigon-Gia Dinh region.

SOURCE TRANG
The 15 km long spring originates in Ham Ninh Mountain and flows through forest thickets, forming waterfalls. Sparkling waterfalls cascading into the green forest undoubtedly complement the picturesque landscape that appears to the amazed gaze of the traveler. Perhaps the very name of the source, the name Tranh (“picture”, “view”) comes from the magnificent view of this source and the surrounding area.
A 15-minute motorcycle ride from Duong Dong city will take you to Tranh Alley, an ideal place for a picnic. You can take some food with you to rest at the spring, and then go into the forest and watch the birds and other local flora and fauna along the winding paths and rocky steps along the stream. After a long walk, during which you enjoy the singing of birds and the beauty of orchids, you will see Hang Doi Grotto(Grotto bat), located in the mountains at an altitude of 200 meters. It is home to beautiful stalactites and can become another hospitable place for tourists. And after an exciting walk, you can relax, immersed in cool waters source. The cost of visiting the source is VND 30,000.
And be sure to listen to the story about a mysterious fish weighing 10 kg, caught in the spring by local residents in 2008. This fish has strange spots on its head, making its head resemble the head of a monk, and its tail looks like a float on the water. They say that this fish is so rare that local residents have not seen anything like it for a long time. Although one foreign tourist offered $1,000 for the fish, local tourism industry leaders still display it as an exhibit at an exhibition. So, you can look at it for free.

FISHING VILLAGE HAM NINH
Located 20 km northwest of the city of Duong Dong, the fishing village of Ham Ninh is famous for its charming scenery and the calm, measured life of local fishermen.
Initially, the residents of the village of Ham Ninh were engaged only in fishing, but in lately The main source of income for the local population has become tourism and the sale of seafood and souvenirs.
When visiting Ham Ninh, travelers receive rare chance taste refreshing healthy drinks and seafood - for example, tincture of ginseng and seaweed, tram mushroom (a special island mushroom), tincture of seahorse. And, of course, admire the enchanting sunsets, and before returning home, buy crabs, a bottle of seahorse tincture or shell souvenirs as a gift to family and friends.

DIVING IN THE WATERS OF ANTHOUY ARCHIPELAGO
Archipelago An Thới, located opposite the southern tip of Phu Quoc, is made up of 15 tiny islets, the largest of which are only three kilometers long. Visit the islands of the archipelago and plunge into coastal waters A must for fans of snorkeling and diving, fishing enthusiasts, as well as those who want to spend time in the guise of Robinson Crusoe (small fishing villages are found only on the largest of the islands, all the rest are uninhabited). Boats to the islands depart from the pier in the city of An Thoi, but you can always save yourself the hassle of searching for the right boat and book a trip to the archipelago by contacting the hotel administrator. It is important to remember that at the height of the rainy season - from July to September, it is almost impossible to get to the archipelago; boat traffic in Fukuoka is seasonal.

Top Travel Agent. This does not oblige you to anything, different travel agents will send you answers and you will receive an objective picture of prices. It also makes sense to contact Top Travel Agent for those who do not have time to organize their trip.

Although in general Phu Quoc does not have strong temperature fluctuations, as in the northern countries and even in the north of Vietnam, it is customary to distinguish 3 seasons on this island: high season, low season and off-season.


Holiday season in Fukuoka

Having subequatorial climate Phu Quoc Island offers best season for holidays from November to March, when warm and sunny weather prevails here with a constant temperature of about 25-28 degrees Celsius and low air humidity. At this time in Fukuoka there is greatest number tourists, so you should be prepared for crowds of people near the main attractions, markets and other tourist places. In addition, during the high season, many popular hotels in Phu Quoc are closed, so it is better to book hotel rooms in advance, especially if you are interested in hotels in the Long Beach area, near the city of Duong Dong. One of the positive aspects of the high season in Fukuoka is that the number of flights to this island increases, so you may have different options travel to Phu Quoc.


Off-season in Fukuoka

The period from April to June, as well as the end of October, can be considered as a good time to visit Phu Quoc, as the crowds tend to be smaller and accommodation prices tend to be lower. At the same time, the weather is still suitable for a beach holiday, although it is already as sunny as during the high season. It is worth remembering that April and May are the hottest months in Fukuoka with daytime temperatures around 35 degrees and humidity around 80-85%. The period from late September to early October can be a good time to visit Fukuoka, but only if you are lucky with rain. It is important to remember that many hotels have their annual maintenance in October before the start of the high season, so some hotels or hotel facilities may be closed during this time.

From July to September monsoons prevail in Fukuoka, so this period is considered to be the rainy season or low season. However, you should not think that it is impossible to relax on the island at this time, and it rains here all day long. In fact, if you're lucky with the weather, you can have a great time at the beach. Sometimes during the rainy season in Fukuoka there are 2-3 days in a row without rain. Moreover, even on those days when it's raining, there are often several hours of sunny weather. However, the rainy season in Fukuoka is worst time for recreation, as frequent rain leads to the formation of mud and many slippery places. Some roads become impassable at this time.
If you decide to go to Phu Quoc during the rainy season, we recommend that you take a raincoat and an umbrella.
