Pier 914
Cầu tàu 914
A century-old stone pier built with the sweat of prisoners. According to legend, 914 people died building it, which gave it its name.
Pier 914 was built in 1873 by prisoners forced to labor for the colonial authorities. The men carried stones into the sea, and many laborers died. Local accounts say 914 people died, which gave the pier its name. It was once the first stop for prisoners arriving on the island and is now a historic site with a memorial on the shore. The pier is on the seafront in Con Son town. Entry is free, and it is a good spot to watch the sunset. You can also tour the Governor's Mansion and the seafront park nearby.
