The heart-shaped Phu Quoc Island of Viet Nam ranked third in the list of
best winter trips 2014, according to the U.S.-based National Geographic
Traveler magazine.
Phu Quoc, deep sand beaches; fish sauce
Travel in Vietnam.
The periodical noted that there’s no reason to hibernate this winter
when there are new beaches, slopes, sports, and festivals to discover.
This year’s list of best winter trips is a global collection of 15
editor-recommended destinations.
Some of Viet Nam’s best beaches are on Phu Quoc Island, making them closer to Cambodia than the Vietnamese mainland (Vietnam tour)
Phu Quoc once housed the so-called “coconut tree prison” (now a museum),
where Vietcong prisoners of war were held through 1973. What’s bringing
international travelers and, so far, restrained development to Phu Quoc
today are its warm, turquoise waters; secluded, deep sand beaches; and
lush, mountainous interior (protected as a national park).
Most resorts and Vietnam hotel
are located south of Phu Quoc International Airport on Long Beach, and
provide airport transfers to their guests. The most convenient way to
travel around the island is by motorbike taxi or (with extreme caution)
by motorbike.
The magazine also suggested tourists to visit the bustling Dinh Cau
Night Market to try whatever local fishermen hauled in that day (sea
urchin, prawns, clams, squid, scallops, sardines). Held most evenings
near Cau Temple in Duong Dong, the market has dozens of stalls and is a
good place to shop for souvenirs (although most items aren’t produced
locally).
Phu Quoc is Viet Nam’s “nuoc mam” (fish sauce) capital. The island’s
signature (and powerfully pungent) sweet-sour Phu Quoc sauce is the
essential Vietnamese condiment and, in 2013, became the country’s first
product granted the European Union Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)
status. See more visit Vietnam tour.
Other ideal destinations include Paris (France); Lake Baikal, Siberia,
(Russia); Santa Margherita Ligure (Italy); Nosara Beaches (Costa Rica);
Winter Wolf Viewing, Lamar Valley Yellowstone National Park (the US);
Gold Coast, Queensland (Australia); Winter Festivals in Miami, Miami
Beach, and Coral Gables, Florida; Muscat-to-Salalah Coastal Route
(Oman).
