Hello everyone, I'm Chu Chu, a rural girl from the countryside. Follow me to see the great outdoors~~~

Today we're going to Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam, away from the city and crowded attractions, to see what nature has prepared for us?

Rural Style B&B

About Accommodation

I chose a B&B that's more authentic, the house is a bungalow style, and the room door leads directly to a small garden. The road is kept clean, and the whole corridor is full of flowers and greeneryWaking up in the morning, opening the window to see these pastoral landscapes, makes me miss my hometown's brick houses. Our house was built by ourselves, and it's also very beautiful, just without a private swimming pool.

The entrance is a swimming poolIn the summer, swimming and lying on a sun lounger in front of our house to listen to birdsong and enjoy the breeze is really relaxing

This is the overall layout of the room, some space hasn't been photographed, it's quite spacious overall, the bathroom has a large bathtub for bathing~

About Language

The official language is Vietnamese. Currently, Vietnam is increasingly in people's sights, and more and more Chinese tourists are visiting. The B&B owner speaks a little Chinese with a strong Vietnamese accent when greeting usIf you don't know Vietnamese, don't worry. The B&B owner also speaks good English and communicates with us seamlessly. If the English is not good, it doesn't matter, 'yes and no', 'hello and goodbye', 'ok ok ok' can play a role, plus body language, and if the situation is critical, use translation software hahaAbout Pick-up

You can communicate with the B&B owner in advance

Inquire whether the accommodation includes free pick-up serviceSome hotels offer this service. In addition, taxis on the island are quite expensive, our place is only 10 minutes away from the airport, using Grab costs about 30 RMB. We guessed that because of the island's remote transportation, the operating costs were high, so they charged moreAbout Currency Exchange

It's best to exchange some Vietnamese Dong and US dollars in advance. If you don't exchange at the airport, it's really unfavorable to exchange rates

About Transportation

Taxis are a bit expensive. If you're not going to very far places, it's recommended to rent a motorcycle. RMB 50 per day. There are not many cars on the island, riding is not very dangerous, and you can also enjoy the scenery along the way

About Must-Bring Items

Waterproof sunscreen, sunscreen clothing, umbrella and raincoat

The lesson learned! I didn't pay attention to sunscreen, and the color of my forearms and arms, the back of my feet and legs are very different. I also didn't bring a raincoat, so I got drenched and became a drenched chicken. It's best to bring both an umbrella and a raincoat, because if it starts to rain, an umbrella won't work, and the wind is very strong, blowing from all directions. Phu Quoc Island has a tropical rainforest climate, and it rains almost every day during our stay, usually in the afternoon from 3-4 pm, which is very regular

About Food

Vietnamese vermicelli, Vietnamese spring rolls, Vietnamese seafood, iced coffee, French baguette, stir-fried noodles

These are all things you must try. For Vietnamese vermicelli, you must combine it with lettuce leaves to taste the authentic Vietnamese flavor. You can also order a portion of bean sprouts separately to add layers of texture. When wandering around, if you don't know Vietnamese words, just look for shops with 'PHO' in their name, that's vermicelli. Iced coffee must also be ordered, the coffee flavor is very strong and fragrantAlthough this seemingly ordinary spring roll is very surprising when you taste it. The white skin wraps three different meat strips, and when fried, it becomes crispy (the brown stripe on the right is the white skin that's fried out), plus lettuce, basil to enhance the flavor layering, and with a full portion of Vietnamese sauce, it's really amazing

Crispy shrimp with a crispy outer skin but still very tender meat

The snail is more surprising, it can be fried in a shell

, but don't say it's still very delicious. As a person who is used to steaming snails, I was really surprised by this dishSimple stir-fried beef noodles. There are a lot of meat and big pieces of meat, but I want to tell you that it's not about the side dishes, but about Vietnamese noodles! It's particularly chewy and has a strong fragrance of wheat, it's just a simple noodle pieFrom Vietnam back, I even bought a box of noodles to bring back for you to try

19th century middle Vietnam became a French colony

So many French food also flowed into VietnamThe French baguette is golden and crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside, and the outside is not cracked and falling off crumbs, inside is filled with all kinds of sauces and side dishes, the flavor layering is superb. I originally wanted to experience Vietnamese French food, but due to time constraints, I couldn't go, a little regret~About Attractions

Khai Island Natural Park

Roman Empire style

A huge brick wall, a solemn guard soldier… Those existing in historical books, such as the Colosseum, seemed to jump out of the book and appear in front of us, magnificent and spectacular. Coming here,It's like being in ancient RomeThe brick wall has a large entrance, and when you enter the hall,

You can see a glass wall, standing by the wall, you can see the entire coastline clearly,According to the map in the hall, go to the ticket office to buy tickets

Take a sea cable car to another small islandAlong the way, you can pass through many small islandsArriving at the small island is another style, a little like the Easter Island giant statue,

The island has many unique and interesting sculptures, adding a mysterious veil to this place

There is a wooden rest area with a local characteristic, and the lights are arranged in a disorderly manner

Sao beach

White sand beach, blue sea and sky

The sea is very calm, with little wavesThe sea water is very clear and suitable for playing and swimmingThe pristine silver beach, combined with the beautiful sea, created this beautiful beachThe rent for the beach shade is paid per hour, 20 RMB per location, and you can bargain

If there aren't many tourists, they will reduce the price, anyway, it's empty, wait for you to lie down, and someone will come to sell you fruit, all cut into pieces and put in plates, you can pick up a portion you like to eat while enjoying the sea breeze ~Besides chatting and swimming on the beach, there are also couples sunbathing, full of love

Vietnamese, besides these attractions on the beach, there are many unknown but worth visiting beaches, such as the beach opposite our B&B, the scenery is not very beautiful, the sand is not very white, and some people carelessly threw garbage, affecting the viewing

, but it's a good place to watch the sunset. At dusk, 'The Daughter of the Sea'Sunset moment

Mr. fishing time

He climbed up to watch and chatted for a while,

Mr. said that the tide rises at this time, and the fish will swim to the shore to swim, it's easy to catch fish.

He hooked a fish and caught two fish in one shotThe sea snail is fried in its shell , but don't say it's still very delicious. As a person who is used to steaming snails, I was really surprised by this dish

The ending: There's so much to write about, such as the night market on Phu Quoc Island, the interesting people and things we encountered, and the specialties we can buy on Phu Quoc Island. These can be written into another article
