Explore the bustling heart of Phu Quoc island in Duong Dong Town, the island's largest town, administrative center, and main commercial hub. Located centrally on the west coast where the Duong Dong River meets the sea, the town offers a vibrant mix of local markets, fishing harbour activity, temples, restaurants, and shops, providing insight into the island's daily life beyond the resorts. It's the anchor point for most visitors exploring Phu Quoc.

Key attractions within Duong Dong include the lively Duong Dong Market, bustling especially in the mornings with fresh produce, seafood, and local goods, transforming into a popular Night Market in the evenings offering souvenirs and abundant street food options. A must-visit landmark is Dinh Cau Rock, home to a small temple and lighthouse perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop by the sea at the river mouth. It's a popular spot for locals to pray for fishermen's safety and offers lovely sunset views.

Wandering through Duong Dong Town allows you to experience the local pulse, sample authentic food, observe the busy fishing harbour, and visit the iconic Dinh Cau Rock. While many tourists stay along Long Beach further south, Duong Dong provides essential services, banking, and a more concentrated local atmosphere. Exploring the town, particularly its market and Dinh Cau Rock, is a key part of any comprehensive Phu Quoc visit.
