The visitors coming from Shanghai made up the first group of Chinese visitors to the island of Vietnam following a two-year hiatus due to the impact of the COVID19 pandemic.

During their five-day stay on Phu Quoc island, the Chinese travelers are scheduled to make a tour of famous entertainment spots on the island such as VinWonders Theme Park, Vinpearl Safari, Grand World Area, Phu Quoc Night Market, and Hon Thom Cable Car system.

They particularly visit scenic spots and historical sites to learn about the culture and life of the local people.

Huynh Quang Hung, head of the Phu Quoc municipal administration, said tourism has already gathered steam on the island after a long period of COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, Phu Quoc has resumed air routes to Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and China.
