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.
