Da Ban stream
It is located 16km east of the
center of Duong Dong town – center
of the Phu Quoc island.
On Duong Dong route 1km north,
turning right along a bendy road,
tourists will arrive at Da Ban
stream – a wonderful natural site.
The weather is as cool as that of
Dalat and it is very quiet because
there are not a lot of people here.
The stream rises from a high
mountain range edging their way
through big and flat stone slabs
lying in series. It is so-called Da
Ban stream.
The stream is so poetic and reminds
people a water-colour painting with
two gods playing chess on stone
slabs
In addition, tourists can climb on
stone slabs, deeply reach the upper
origin to listen to the stream
babbling and birds singing- like the
music of forest - A kind of music
that none of musical instrument
can completely express its melodious
rhythm.
It is totally relaxing to rest on
cool stone slabs while viewing blue
sky and slowly flying white clouds
as if sometimes stuck at leaf
canopies affectionately and
quiveringly. In a short while, time
seems pausing, space backs to
thousands of years ago, rough daily
businesses fly out and leave space
for the peaceful inner feelings.
Fishes in the stream goes here and
there.
Collecting wild fruits, dipping in
the stream, making fire in the cave
or catching fish for grilling,
tourists will have the most
interesting meal. For a moment, we
become cavemen in 20th century.
Dau fall
If tourists want to witness with
their own eyes the local who has
cleared the way, reclaimed the soil
and made the village. On the way to
the North island – Trang bridge
section, tourists can turn to the
northwest to visit Dau fall- area in
process of reclamation.
Royal well- Throne
Setting out at An Thoi commune, the
2km inshore trail with flowers,
fruits, weeds and tree shadows
forgets relieves tourists tiredness.
The clear blue water, in a while,
turns up; white sandy beach edges
its way around the foot of the
mountain like embracing resting
fishing-boat near the edge of the
forest.
On the background of rolling
mountains and sea and winding fogs
and clouds, a small temple presents
ahead on steep large rocks. The
vestige of a majestic pink rock
chair backing to the sea and facing
the vast field was called the
Throne.
It is said to be what the Nguyen
King left after many times of
running away from Tay Son force.
Shoeprints in a quandary are still
seen on stones.
Without water for his force, Nguyen
Anh stamped his foot and pointed
down the earth with a magic sword.
Then, a fresh water current erupted.
It is now called Royal Well or Magic
Well.

Introducing Phu Quoc
Island
 One of Vietnam’s star attractions,
mountainous and forested Phu Quoc is
a splendid tropical getaway set with
beautiful white-sand beaches and
quaint fishing villages. Adventure
comes in many forms here – from
motorbiking the empty dirt roads
circling the island to sea kayaking
its quiet inlets, scuba diving the
coral reefs or simply having a
bang-up seafood meal followed by a
cocktail on the beach. Once a
sleepy, backpackers’ retreat, Phu
Quoc has ramped up tourism
significantly, and visitors can now
choose between five-star resorts and
rustic family-run bungalows. Plans
are underway for developing the
island even more heavily – a la
Phuket style. If package tourism
isn’t your bag, get there now before
this happens.
