Duong Dong
It is a chief town of Phu Quoc and a big fishing
port located on the central west coast of the island. In this place,
there are hotels and Phu Quoc Airport. The most tourist attraction
in Duong Dong is Dinh Cau (Cau Castle). This temple was built in
1937 to dedicate “Cau” (God of the sea) to help the
fishermen and sailors to overcome the storm and sea obstructions.
Now the Castle still kept the ancient architectural styles. It is
a good view from here.
