Grand World Phu Quoc
Grand World Phú Quốc
A 'city that never sleeps' built like Venice's canals and a European town, with gondolas, bamboo architecture, a Teddy Bear Museum and the nighttime Vietnamese cultural show Tinh Hoa Việt Nam. It is the nightlife hub of the northern resort area.
Grand World Phu Quoc is in the Vinpearl resort area in the northwest of the island. It opened in 2021 and covers about 85 hectares. Entry is free, and it is an entertainment and shopping town. At its center is a 400-meter-long Venetian Canal, lined with colorful Italian-style buildings, where you can ride a gondola for about 250,000 dong. To the east are the Bamboo Legend exhibition hall, built from tens of thousands of bamboo poles and designed by Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia, along with Urban Park, a European-style shopping street, the Teddy Bear Museum (about 200,000 dong), the Vui Fest night market and a bar street. The highlight is the large outdoor show Tinh Hoa Việt Nam (about 300,000 dong), performed nightly from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. on the canal plaza. It tells the story of Vietnam's history and folk traditions and features striking light and water-screen effects. A free canal light show follows. On holidays there are street parades and fireworks. The area has many restaurants, cafés and duty-free shops, and it is far livelier at night than during the day. We suggest arriving after 5:00 p.m. to stroll along the canal and take photos, then have dinner as the sun sets, and finally catch the show and night market. The whole visit takes 3–4 hours. You can combine it with Vinpearl Safari and VinWonders for a northern day trip, and guests at Vinpearl hotels get free shuttle buses. Getting there: a Grab from Duong Dong takes about 30 minutes (around 200,000 dong). Taxis are hard to find late at night, so book your return ride in advance. Tips: prices here are higher than in Duong Dong, the show may be cancelled in rain, and the complex is huge, so wear comfortable shoes.
