South Korea's national news agency Yonhap recently published a special report titled: "Phu Quoc - the island where sunset and love meet."
Vietnam's Pearl Island is portrayed as a newly emerging, top-class resort paradise in Asia, where pristine tropical beaches, iconic fiery sunsets, and architectural marvels like the Kissing Bridge blend perfectly to create a romantic experience that awakens all the senses of international visitors.
A unique 30 cm distance.
Amidst the vast expanse of the southern sea and sky, two lovers stood at opposite ends of a unique bridge, their distance between them a mere 30 centimeters. As the setting sun painted the boundless ocean a brilliant red, they leaned forward and shared a passionate kiss in the breezy space. That sacred moment brought a moment of stillness to the air, before erupting in applause and excited cheers from hundreds of surrounding tourists.
This isn't a cinematic shot from Seoul, but a real scene that's attracting special attention from the South Korean media when discussing Phu Quoc tourism, an ideal golden location, known as the rendezvous of love and eternal moments.
According to Yonhap, Phu Quoc Kiss Bridge is emerging as one of the new contemporary symbols of Vietnamese tourism.
According to Yonhap News Agency's correspondents, the Kiss Bridge in Phu Quoc, located within the Sunset Town complex, is emerging as one of the new contemporary symbols of Vietnam's tourism industry.
This architectural masterpiece is built right on the turquoise sea at an altitude of about 16 meters. Its structure consists of two independent bridge branches extending from opposite sides, yet never touching. The only point of contact between the two branches is a fateful gap exactly 30 cm wide – a perfectly delicate distance for lovers to share a warm handshake, a vow, or a passionate kiss under the watchful eyes of heaven and earth.
Through the lens of international media, as the sun sets over Phu Quoc, anyone walking on this structure feels as if they are transforming into the protagonist in a classic romantic film. The last rays of sunlight fall upon the vast ocean, reflecting a magical reddish-orange light—a natural wonder that the Korean tourism community has praised as the most beautiful sunset in Southeast Asia.
Every day, thousands of international visitors patiently line up just to wait for that golden moment, to capture their personal mark at the location dubbed the world's most romantic 30 cm spot.
The enchanting Mediterranean dance on the tropical shoreline.
Nestled deep in the southwesternmost waters of the country, Vietnam's largest island has long been affectionately called the "pearl island" by locals and tourists alike, thanks to its abundant, pristine natural resources and incredibly rich ecosystem.
Stretching approximately 50 km from North to South, this region boasts pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vast primeval forests belonging to the UNESCO-recognized Kien Giang World Biosphere Reserve.
A new destination for South Korean tourists.
Korean media outlets have noted that strong investment flows are transforming the island into a highly attractive global destination, especially after it was officially selected to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC 2027 Phu Quoc) forum. This international political and economic event has become a springboard, accelerating the completion of a massive and integrated transportation and urban infrastructure system.
South Korean media consistently identifies Phu Quoc Island as the brightest rising star on the world tourism map, boasting a stunning blend of wild tropical beauty and a leading ecosystem of luxurious, modern entertainment, recreation, and resort experiences.
One of the top experiences, considered absolutely unmissable by reputable media and travel blogs in South Korea when searching for Phu Quoc travel experiences, is the scenic ride on the world's longest three-wire cable car system, connecting An Thoi station to Hon Thom island.
Spanning approximately 8 kilometers, this cable car takes visitors on an aerial journey, gliding gently over the An Thoi archipelago with its dozens of large and small islands surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. From the cabins high above, the entire town at sunset unfolds majestically like a refined work of art, a perfect blend of classic Western architecture and abundant tropical natural scenery.
Many South Korean tourists have shared with the press that the moment of gazing at the island from this ideal altitude gave them absolute confidence that their trip to the pearl island was the absolutely right decision.
"Fly" across the sea on the world's longest cable car.
While during the day, the island boasts a serene and tranquil beauty, a hidden paradise nestled amidst pristine nature, as night falls, it transforms into a vibrant, sleepless festival center. World-class multimedia art programs, such as "Symphony of the Sea" and "Kiss of the Sea," are meticulously staged right on the sea, rapidly becoming a top-tier cultural and artistic highlight, establishing a strong brand for local tourism.
The ingenious combination of a large-scale floating stage on the ocean, laser projection technology, lighting, water fountains, artistic performances by flyboard athletes, and dazzling high-altitude fireworks displays created a spectacular visual feast, which the South Korean press likened to world-class shows in Las Vegas or Dubai.
Immediately after the fireworks ended, the town's central squares erupted with vibrant energy and lively street music. Global melodies and K-pop hits like "Gangnam Style" and "Apartment" resonated across the nighttime seascape, connecting thousands of people from diverse countries and cultures, transforming the area into a true global music festival on the beach.
