If you have always been fascinated with giant windmills in Europe, then during your visit to Phu Quy, you will also admire these special "giant pinwheels". Unlike other colorful wind power fields, the wind power in Phu Quy is simply pure white turbine columns, but extremely prominent against the blue sky and immense green grass below.

5/ Cao Cat Mountain

If you think that going to the island will not have the opportunity to trek and climb mountains, you are wrong. Traveling to Phu Quy island, you can test your endurance by climbing Cao Cat Mountain, one of the most beautiful mountains here. Under the influence of wind and waves, Cao Cat Mountain is shaped into beautiful random shapes. Seen from a distance, the majestic mountain looks like giant clouds with many strangely shaped rocks. Standing from here, you can observe the extremely lively scene below Phu Quy Island.

6/ Ban Tranh Princess Temple

Also known as Ba Chua Xu Temple, is an ancient temple built by the Cham people in the late 16th century. The temple is ranked as a national historical relic and gradually becomes a must-see destination for tourists when coming to Phu Quy island district.

Is a special island shaped like the letter S, Hon Tranh is about 800m southeast of Phu Quy island. Among more than 10 large and small islands of Phu Quy island district, Hon Tranh has the largest area and is also the most attractive destination, because of its beautiful landscape and diverse ecosystem. The island is surrounded by high mountains that block the wind, so all year round, the sea at Hon Tranh is extremely calm and quiet. Along with that, Hon Tranh also owns a colorful natural coral reef population, helping visitors here to immerse themselves in the clear blue water and admire the masterpiece of nature.

8/ Van An Thanh

Van An Thanh is a place that still preserves whale skeletons that washed ashore a long time ago. In the beliefs of the fishing village people, the whale has the meaning of a god, always sheltering and helping fishermen offshore when encountering strong waves and winds. Coming here, in addition to admiring the giant fish skeletons, visitors also have the opportunity to hear people tell thrilling stories and the long-standing, sacred custom of worshiping the Ong fish.

Although it has quite simple architecture, Van An Thanh is one of the most attractive tourist destinations on Phu Quy Island.

9/ Phu Quy seafood market

When traveling to the islands, if you miss the opportunity to enjoy seafood dishes, it will be a waste. According to my experience traveling to Phu Quy island, the seafood market here sells extremely high quality and fresh products that you can enjoy comfortably at quite reasonable prices. The market opens from morning to evening, however, if you want to buy a lot of delicious things, you should go in the morning or afternoon, about 3-4 hours. At this time, the boat arrived at the kitchen to provide seafood, so the quantity was quite large and the products were also available.
