After only 50 minute flying from Ho Chi Minh City, you will set foot on the tropical
paradise of Vietnam and the world: Phu Quoc Island.
The island has a roughly triangular shape with a north-south length of 50km and a west-
east width of 25km. A great part of the terrain is filled with beautiful sandy beaches, but there is a
mountainous region with 99 peaks, among which the Peak of Chua Mountain is the tallest one at
603 meters. Due to Phu Quoc’s location in the Gulf of Thailand, its climate is sub-equatorial with
a temperate weather all year round, making trips to Phu Quoc possible any time in the year.
However, the best time to travel to this island is during the dry season, from November until
March, when the sky is blue and clear and the rains are away.
Phu Quoc is most famous for its cuisines and a natural wonderful coastline. The most
famous food of Phu Quoc is fish sauce, which has become quite popular all over Vietnam and the
world. Besides, another thing worth trying there is the spicy yet interesting black pepper.
However, the factor that will definitely intrigue you to visit Phu Quoc is its untouched coastline
featuring several heavenly beaches. They have yet to be explored to their full ability, but this fact
might be actually positive as it gives the shores a romantic beauty that you can find in nowhere
else in the world.
- untouched coastline: bờ biển hoang sơ - intrigue: hấp dẫn
- a roughly triangular shape: một hình dạng gần giống như hình tam giác
