Phu Quoc Island: Phu Quoc is a large off shore island endowed with many valuable natural resources. This is an ideal place for pepper growing and fish sauce production . Phu Quoc fish sauce is national famous for its high content of protein and good taste. The off shore island is 120 kilometers from Rach Gia and 370 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. Ha Tien: Ha Tien is a small township located on the banks of the Giang Thanh river and surrounded on all the sides with mountain ranges. The town is 120 kilometers from Rach Gia and 350 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City. Ha Tien has 10 famous tourist attractions the names of which are mentioned in a piece of poetry named "Ha Tien Thap Vinh." Besides the attraction of swimming in the sea, visitors are likely to be interested in sight seeing. And the most likely place to be is Dong Ho (Dong Lake). the lake is two kilometers wide and about three kilometers long. The vast water surface looks tranquil all the time, due to the shelter offered by the surrounding mountains.
There are several attractions in the area: Thach Dong stone grotto, a piece of green stone emerging from the ground; Chong stone; Hon Phu Tu, Father and Son rocks which lie approximately 100 m offshore; and Hang Pagoda. By boat, one can reach Hai Tac islets, 16 islets around which the water is 4 m deep. On the coast of Hon Doc, the largest islet, is a magnificent white sand beach running towards the sea. Near Hon Chong Beach is Tien Cave that has 2 openings; the east door on the sea and the west door, opening on Duoc Beach. In the cave are many oddly shaped stone drops, some suggesting Nguyen King’s gold throne. Hon Trem Beach, 1000 m from Hon Chong Beach offers the nicest white sand in Ha Tien. Hang Pagoda is also very interesting. This pagoda, 40 m underground, somber and foggy, echoes the sounds of the pagoda’s bell on the stone drops.
