# One day in Phu Quoc: an itinerary in the best order

> A day on Phu Quoc away from the beach covers the centre, the east coast and the south. Morning at the fishermen's Dinh Cau shrine on its rock in Duong Dong. Then Ho Quoc Pagoda, the island's largest Buddhist complex on a slope above the sea, and lunch. Towards evening, Sunset Town in An Thoi: pastel houses, a clock tower and the Kiss Bridge, whose two halves do not quite meet. At 21:00, the Kiss of the Sea show with fireworks. Transfers take 40–60 minutes by Grab.

## What to do on Phu Quoc in one day

Duong Dong is the main town on the west coast, the pagoda is on the east coast and Sunset Town in the south. Heading south from the centre, stop at the pagoda and reach An Thoi by 16:00–17:00.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## Sunset Town and the shows

The quarter is free to walk; the bridge and shows are paid. 'Symphony of the Sea' starts at 19:30 and Kiss of the Sea with fireworks at 21:00 every day. The [Hon Thom cable car](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/phu-quoc/hon-thom-cable-car) — 7.9 km over the sea — also starts here, but runs only until 17:00.

## Beaches

[Sao Beach](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/phu-quoc/sao-beach) has white sand and shallow water in the south-east, on the way to Sunset Town. [Starfish Beach](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/phu-quoc/phu-quoc-starfish-beach) is in the north by a fishing village — look at the starfish, but leave them in the water.

## Tips

- Reach Sunset Town by 16:00–17:00 for the sunset and the shows.
- Dinh Cau night market is five minutes from the shrine, from 17:00.
- Pagodas and temples want shoulders and knees covered; shoes come off at the door of the halls.
- Vietnam uses the dong (VND). Markets, pagodas and small cafés want cash; Grab is the easiest way to get a car or motorbike taxi.
- Never lift starfish out of the water — it kills them.
