Phu Quoc Island Highlights
Other than spending gloriously long days on some of Vietnam’s best beaches, Phu Quoc’s interior also has much to be discovered…
A Walk in the Park
Established in 2001, Phu Quoc’s National Park was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2006 for its diverse collection of flora and fauna, including 208 animal species ranging from mammals (lorises, macaques and langurs) and birds (including hornbills) to reptiles and amphibians. To explore the park located mainly in the northern half of the island, it’s best to have some experience on a motorbike, as paths are often just loose soil and sand. Nature lovers will enjoy taking walks available along marked park trails for a more up-close view of the forest and occasional glimpses of wildlife, especially towards the village of Ganh Dau. Bring water and a hat and expect little signage and sparsely maintained trails along the way.
Phu Quoc Specialties
As the Champagne region is to France, Phu Quoc produces some of Vietnam’s finest fish sauce, a pungent liquid extracted from fermented, salted fish and the must-have ingredient that finds its way into almost every Vietnamese dish. Phu Quoc fish sauce is world-renowned for its premium quality, thanks to the abundant seaweed and plankton around the island that feeds the anchovies needed for the dark golden colored sauce. In fact, fish sauce made elsewhere often falsely uses the Phu Quoc brand! Phu Quoc attractions include visiting a fish sauce factory where you’ll find larger-than-life wooden vats up to 4 meters high containing up to 13 tons of deliciously pungent fish sauce. You may want to buy a genuine bottle as a souvenir, but keep it wrapped well as the very smelly sauce is literally the last thing you want to break in your suitcase.
Phu Quoc is equally well-known for its premium peppercorns, producing more than 1,000 tons per year. Especially towards the center and north of the island, visitors are likely to come across large swaths of land covering a total of 400 ha dedicated to this crop, known for its heat, pungency and strong aroma which comes from using only organic fertilizers and drying the peppercorns individually in the sun, thereby retaining their essential oils and natural flavors. It’s so delicious, you’ll often find Phu Quoc pepper fresh, still on the stalk, in stir-fries and other Viet dishes. If you’re careful, farmers will usually not mind visitors taking a look at the plants which are harvested by hand between February and July. In other months of the year, you can still tour the plantations to see the leafy green plants.
Located on the eastern coast of mainland Southeast Asia, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is bordered by China to the north and Cambodia and Laos to the west. The country is long and narrow, shaped like the letter S, with Hanoi (the capital) and the Red River Delta to the north and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam’s largest city, also known as “Saigon”) and the Mekong Delta to the south. Vietnam has a coastline of 3,444 km (2,140 mi) with the East Sea (also called the South China Sea) to the east.
Vietnam’s climate is tropical in the south and monsoonal in the north. While there are slight variations in temperature, Vietnam’s climate can generally be divided into the rainy season (May to September) and the dry season (October to March).
With an estimated 95 million people, Vietnam ranks 14th in the world in population. About 85-90% of its population is ethnic Vietnamese (also known as “Kinh”), with 53 other ethnic groups recognized by the government.
Vietnamese is the official language, and has some similarities to Khmer, Thai and Chinese. Under Chinese rule for a thousand years, an estimated 30% of Vietnamese vocabulary is derived from Chinese. Thanks to French colonial rule, Vietnamese uses a Romanized alphabet, unlike most of its Asian neighbors.
While Vietnam has no official religion, the majority subscribe to what’s known as the “Three Teachings” of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Ancestor worship is common. It’s estimated that up to 10% of the population are Roman Catholics, followed by smaller numbers of Protestants, Muslims and Hindu. In the Mekong Delta, the Cao Dai and Hoa Hao sects are popular, in part based on Buddhism.
Vietnam’s main exports include seafood, rice, crude oil, clothing and coffee.
The monetary unit is the Dong (VND) where VND 22,700 is equal to USD 1.
As Vietnamese is a tonal language (with six different tones), the particular tone used determines the meaning of a word. As the same word can mean many different things depending on the tone it is a difficult language to grasp but the locals will certainly appreciate your efforts!
