Fukuok, undervalued by tourists, Vietnam's corner and the reasons for this are several. First, the resort began to develop quite recently and the infrastructure leaves much to be desired. Although for many, this fact is rather plus than minus, because they did not have time to scream the pristine nature of the indocidant. Secondly, prevents the absence of a normal airport on the island, which could take international flights, and to fly with transfers, few people want. But those who want to relax on Fukuchok, it will not be boring on it, because there is something to look at the island.
Fukuok lighthouse
Close directly on the rock, you can say even carved out of it, the lighthouse and the small temple of Tian Hou (my goddess) is one of the most interesting sights of the island. By the way, offering to the temple of Vietnamese fishermen bring to this day. I recommend to visit it in the afternoon, when women who meet their husbands with catch are selected ashore. At that moment, something like a small spontaneous market begins on the shore, somewhere that fishermen were caught right away. Prices for dishes are kept in Russian standards, but it is insanely tasty. Yes, the lighthouse acting to this day.
Nha Lao Cay Dua Prison (Coconut Prison)
The place of alas is sad, but nevertheless historical and what would be an understanding of what happened in Vietnam quite recently (by historical standards) to visit it. It was built by the French colonialists, but here the terrible thing in it occurred during the US War's time with Vietnam, when American troops arranged a concentration camp in it. Place a sign, but it is better not to visit it better.
Open for visits daily, except Monday. There is a break for lunch, so it's better to clarify on the spot. The entrance ticket costs about 1 dollar. Getting to her the easiest way to taxi. From any point of Fukuok, it will cost no more than 10 dollars.
Black pepper plantations
Vietnam is considered to be the world leader in the production of black pepper, and Fukuok, this place where they grow especially valuable and fragrant varieties. In principle, the plantation here is everywhere, but that would fully understand and feel how to grow and dried peppers, it is worth going to the village called Hutong, where the largest plantations are located, according to which organized excursions are held. The most amazing thing to get to the plantation can be completely free. Earnings are mainly due to the sale of pepper inquisitive tourists. Opened to visit daily to half the fifth evening.
Fukuok Island National Park
The park is located on the northern part of the island and occupies a huge territory. This is the virgin jungle, which cuts the large number of streams and small rivers in which you can swim. It is here that you can imagine what is a real monsonic climate. The temperature here is never below 24 degrees, and at first it is extremely unusual from terrible humidity. I advise you to take more water with you, as well as something from food, because the only place where you can have a snack at the entrance to the territory. Do not forget to repellents, because there are mosquitoes here too. By the way, you can rent a mountain bike at the entrance to facilitate the walk through the park.
Pearl farm
Fukuok is famous not only by its black pepper plantations, but also the fact that it is here that the largest farm in the country of growing pearls is located. The entrance to it, as well as the plantation of pepper is free, Mato few people leave here without buying. See how the pearls grow, in fact it is interesting. It turns out that initially in the mollusk inserted pre-prepared small particles of shells and then they are lowered into the water, where they are "rushing." On average, to grow the pearl size of millimeters in 15, at least one and a half years are required.
Market Dong Dong
An interesting place for night pastime. Yes Yes! It is for the night, because this market is fully starting to work at night. Especially this market will like those who love the kitchen with seafood. It is here, right on your eyes you cook the latest sea inhabitants who have chosen, which a couple of hours ago did not suspect that they would catch them. The prices for dishes are very budgetary, on average for a large dish with a side dish from rice with you will be asked for 6-10 dollars, and the most expensive - lobster, the price of it depending on its dimensions, can reach a 40-US dollars. If you do not want seafood, but pulls on exotic, then there are no problems with it. Fried snakes, grilled frogs, turtle soup and much more. I did not dare to try. Immediately on the market it is worth purchasing souvenirs, both for themselves and as a gift to friends and acquaintances. Decorations, jewelry, silk, fabric and much more are sold here at a low price. Can offer and pearls, but the risk to run into the fake is great. It is better to buy it on the farm, which was told a little higher.
