PANO - Fifty years have elapsed, and everything has changed; however, the images of Phu Quoc Prison have remained in the memories of nearly 40,000 Vietnamese patriotic soldiers.
Introduction
While Vietnam is infamous for the wars which ravaged it in the mid 20th century, it also has its fair share of beach destinations as well. Phu Quoc is perhaps the best of these, as its separation from the mainland has kept development contained at a less fervent pace than its colleagues on the mainland.
This will no doubt change in time, so check this place out sooner rather than later.
Cultural Attractions
It may strike you as odd that the first attraction we suggest you visit on Vietnam’s hottest tropical island is none other than
Phu Quoc Prison but bear with us. A museum in the present day, this penitentiary served as a jail during the Indochina War in the 1950s, when the Vietnamese battled the colonial French.
