Đảo Thiên Đường - Hòn Thơm Paradise Island — Attraction in Phú Quốc

The American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “It's not the destination, it's the journey”. Ralph must have visited Sunworld!

Sunworld is located on a once beautiful island which has largely been destroyed to make way for a fake plastic “European” city and a theme park.
