Fairy Well

A captivating piece of history, Fairy Well is linked to Emperor Gia Long's legendary escape. According to local lore, in his quest to evade capture, the emperor and his entourage found themselves parched in Phu Quoc. In a moment of desperation, he thrust his sword into a rock, causing fresh water to emerge, forming a pond amidst the ocean. This crack remains visible today, serving as a testament to the tale and a symbol of his alleged supernatural abilities.
