First Journey of the Year Amidst the Sea and Sky
The first journey of the year in Phu Quoc begins with the "flying" experience on the world's longest 3-wire oversea cable car route, Hon Thom. In just about 15 minutes, visitors can admire the panoramic view of the emerald bay, interspersed large and small islands, and a peaceful fishing village appearing before their eyes. The slow pace is enough for generations in the family to enjoy a feeling of spaciousness and ease, like a wish for good luck for the new year.
The Hon Thom cable car journey allows visitors to fully admire the sea and sky of the South Island.
The destination of the journey is Sun World Hon Thom, the most vibrant entertainment complex on Pearl Island. Here, visitors can freely explore Aquatopia Water Park with over 20 international-standard slides, or test their courage at Exotica Village with its wooden roller coaster, and enjoy a full day with family with games suitable for all ages. Don't forget to take time to enjoy the traditional Tet culinary feast at Mango restaurant, the Rural Market area with hot, delicious dishes: from Northwest grilled meats, to Chung cakes and Hanoi Bun Cha, Banh Xeo, and many other Mekong Delta specialties.
The all-inclusive experience from the cable car to unlimited play at the two theme parks is bundled into a ticket price of 850,000 VND/person, enough to recharge for a long day of exploration.
Every night is New Year's Eve in Sunset Town
Forget the crowded scenes of welcoming fireworks on New Year's Eve in big cities, because in Sunset Town, you can welcome fireworks every day, even two shows per night.
Fireworks illuminate Sunset Town every night, spreading a festive spring atmosphere.
Unlike many beach destinations that usually quiet down after sunset, Phu Quoc at night enters a vibrant rhythm of life. At exactly 7:45 PM, the Symphony of the Sea opens with a spectacular combination of thousands of fireworks, flyboard and jetski performances set to lively music. At 9:00 PM, emotions continue to rise to a climax with the Kiss of the Sea, where fire, water, lasers, and dozens of international artists blend together, along with a brilliant high-altitude artistic fireworks display.
The two nightly fireworks shows are not just entertainment "specialties," but also carry the meaning of reunion and celebration, so that visitors, no matter when they come to Phu Quoc, can touch the feeling of joy like the moment of ushering in the new year.
Experience the bustling festive atmosphere day and night
New Year, a festive spring atmosphere has spread throughout Sunset Town, blending traditional Tet with the international New Year celebration atmosphere, especially at Sunset Bazaar, a shopping and culinary space with European architecture by the sea. The vibrant rows of houses, the ancient clock tower, and artistic street corners create an ideal backdrop for visitors to capture early year moments. Alongside the sightseeing experience, Sunset Bazaar is also a diverse culinary destination, where Asian – European dishes are creatively adapted from local ingredients, contributing to the joyful, bustling atmosphere of the Tet holidays.
The "European style" Sunset Bazaar is bustling with street performances, exciting the steps of spring travel.
The festive atmosphere is further enlivened by street performance programs such as the Yum Yum Show and Beer King Show, which take place throughout, attracting domestic and international tourists to stroll, enjoy, and immerse themselves in the common joy. As the afternoon light gradually fades over the sea, Sunset Town transforms into its nightlife without any lull.
Many tourists choose to stop by the Sun Bavaria GastroPub beer restaurant to enjoy dinner and craft beer in a relaxed seaside setting, while admiring the "Symphony of the Sea" show. New Year's dinner thus becomes part of the festival, where cuisine, music, and art blend.
Coastal cuisine combined with artistic fireworks shows create the attraction of Sunset Town.
After the explosive performances, don't forget to visit the Vui Phet night market, where street food stalls, souvenirs, and impromptu artistic performances like acoustic music, fire dancing, magic, and entertainment gather, keeping the fun going until late at night.
With festival experiences extending from day to late night: from cuisine, street performances to fireworks and night markets, southern Phu Quoc island is shaping up to be a must-visit destination during Tet, where visitors find the complete vibrant, fresh atmosphere and a feeling of an exciting start to the new year in Phu Quoc.
