2. Suggested interesting experiences at Sunset Town Phu Quoc
2.1. Kiss Bridge
Kiss Bridge is the symbol of love and the most famous check-in spot in Sunset Town Phu Quoc, a place that any visitor to the Pearl Island wants to visit once. Stretching out into the vast blue sea, the bridge is a symbol of connection and a testament to the breakthrough creative spirit in modern architecture and art. The work was designed by Italian architect Marco Casamonti, inspired by the legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, harmoniously combining Vietnamese culture with Michelangelo's painting 'The Creation of Adam'.
The bridge consists of two gently curved branches, leaning towards each other but stopping at a distance of 30 cm.

As night falls, the hidden lighting system along the railings makes the bridge brilliantly illuminate, reflecting onto the sea, creating a shimmering, magical scene. The most special point is that the international team of architects and experts meticulously studied the sun's movement for months through a simulated 3D model, so that on January 1st every year, the sunset light falls precisely between the two tips of the bridge before gradually sinking into the sea, creating a rare romantic scene in the world.
