Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island with a fascinating history. It was associated with the Mac family in the early days of reclaiming this land. In 1671, a Chinese named Mac Cuu (Mac Kinh Cuu), from Leizhou, Guangdong Province, brought his family, soldiers and some 400 scholars on a boat to leave Fujian and go to the western seas.

Phu Quoc's climate delights travelers with tropical monsoon charm. The dry season, spanning from November to April, unveils the island's most idyllic weather. During these months, the temperatures range from around 25°C to 30°C, and the skies remain clear, offering sun-soaked days and comfortable evenings. The humidity is relatively low, creating an inviting environment for outdoor activities and leisurely beach vacations.
As the dry season makes way for the wet season from May to October, the island experiences occasional heavy rainfall and higher humidity levels. If you travel to Phu Quoc at this time by boat, you may encounter big waves, which will significantly affect your trip. Therefore, if you choose to travel to this island during the rainy season, you can consider choosing destinations in the North of the island such as Bai Dai or Bai Dat Do in the South of the island.

One thing to note about the convenient time to travel to this attraction is that when entering the transitional season (November), Phu Quoc at this time also has many fluctuations and erratic changes. Therefore, before traveling to Phu Quoc, you need to refer to the weather forecast and choose appropriate equipment to facilitate the trip.
The island is well-connected by air and sea, offering multiple entry points for adventurers eager to explore charms. Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC) serves as the primary gateway to the island. Regular domestic flights connect this island to major cities in Vietnam, such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Can Tho.

For those traveling to this place from the southern provinces, you can experience the feeling of taking a speedboat. First, you will have to take a bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Rach Gia or Ha Tien. Departing from the ports of Ha Tien and Rach Gia in southern Vietnam, depending on the departure point and the ferry type, the journey typically takes around 2.5 to 3 hours.
The first dish on the list of dishes you must try in this attraction is herring salad. This dish is sold in all restaurants and eateries from high-end to popular. Herring is prepared, rolled with vegetables and rice paper, and dipped in fish sauce with absolutely no fishy smell.

Not everywhere has vermicelli noodles, not only the name but the taste of this type of vermicelli is also very strange. Ken Vermicelli Noodle often uses rice vermicelli, thin noodles served with herbs, laksa leaves, cucumber, grated papaya... The reference address is Ken Ut Luom Vermicelli on 30/4 Street.
Anyone who comes to Phu Quoc must try this noodle dish. The dish is a combination of fish cakes, squid cakes, and shrimp cakes pureed with fresh vermicelli pressed directly from the tube. The dipping sauce is simple but is the most attractive point of the dish.

The broth is used to boil vermicelli and seafood, so if you are not used to it, you will find it bland and feel the fishiness of the seafood. However, you can add additional spices as instructed at the counter to mix to suit your taste.
