Phu Quy Island is compared by movie buffs to the seaside city of Pohang, South Korea - the filming location of the movie "Cha Cha Cha".

For Vu Thi Cam Tu (32 years old, from Da Lat), Phu Quy Island is not yet fully developed for tourism, so its pristine and simple beauty remains a highlight when talking about this island. She emphasizes: "I love the scenery, but what impresses me most is the extremely friendly people of Phu Quy." In addition, what she truly misses about this island is the relaxing feeling she experiences while strolling along the roads of Phu Quy.

The best time to visit Phu Quy Island is from December to June of the following year. During this time, the sea is calm, the wind is gentle, and the sun is beautiful, making it easy to travel to the island and explore. Sharing her experience of taking a speedboat from Phan Thiet city to the island, Cam Tu laughed: "Luckily, I don't get seasick. If you plan to travel to Phu Quy Island, you should take seasickness medication 30 minutes before boarding." She noted that tourists should buy sleeper tickets if they frequently get seasick.

As a fishing ground rich in rare and valuable seafood, Phu Quy Island offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy local specialties such as grouper, king crab, conch, and lobster. "Seafood in Phu Quy is both delicious and affordable," Cam Tu remarked. She shared that she will visit Phu Quy again in March to try king crab, as she didn't have the chance to sample this delicacy on her previous trip.
