Description |
|
| In the early 17th century, Phu Quoc was a desolate area, where Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants earned their living from sea cucumbers. From 1782 to 1786, Phu Quoc became a stronghold of Lord Nguyen Anh, later Emperor Gia Long, in his confrontation with Tay Son forces.
In 1869, the French occupied it and set up rubber and coconut plantations in the island. From 1967 to 1972, a P.O.W detention camp of 40,000 inmates during the war covering on 400 hectares was built at An Thoi by the Saigon regime.
After being liberated on 30 April 1975, Phu Quoc has been converted into an ideal tourist destination for nature and sea lovers.

Detail |
|
|  After finishing your cycling adventure, it is appropriate for you to relax for a few days before returning home. No place better than the tropical island of Phu Quoc. This pear-shaped island has some of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam, which surround the island of mountains and forests. The marine life is plentiful and can be observed through the transparent blue green waters of the Gulf of Thailand. This island is easily reachable by about a 45 minute flight from Saigon.
Phu Quoc is just on the verge of becoming a major tourist attraction. So, visit the island now, before it becomes over commercialized. At this time the island makes its living by producing black pepper, and its famous, high-quality fish sauce (nuoc mam). The island is also known for its Phu Quoc hunting dog.
You will stay at the cozy Saigon-Phu Quoc Resort. You can explore the island by bicycle, which are available for rent at the hotel. Or if you are don’t plan to exert any more energy, you can hire a motorbike taxi, to show you the island.
