Geocache Description:


Dương Đông is the main town on Vietnam's largest island Phú Quốc, off the coast of South-West Cambodia.
The island’s main town and chief fishing port on the central west coast is a tangle of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops. Scenic Long Beach ranges to the south, where most of the beach hotels, resorts and bars cluster. The old bridge in town is a great vantage point to photograph the island’s fishing fleet crammed into the narrow channel.
The town itself is not that exciting, though the filthy, bustling market is interesting. In contrast, the excellent night market is scrupulously clean and filled with delicious food stalls.
By going on the heights of Duong Dong, you can admire the city extensively.
You can reach the cache by foot or by any means of transport. Take the main road Tran Hung Dao at the level of the SAO MAI Hotel ( N 10° 12.568' E 103° 57.689') and follow the path on is left. At the date of April 2017, the path is not easy on the first 180m. Further it is excellent.The last 200m is chaotic The cache is at 1 km from the main road near two places of prayer. You can meet the owner of the premises who is also the guardian of the cache but not the owner of it.

Below,more forward on the path you will find the second place of prayer. That would make me very happy if you decorate your logs with pictures of you. If you enjoyed the view from the cache, you will love the 270-degree panorama of the Sontra Hill Panorama Seaview (Second floor), where you can enjoy a meal or a drink. The place is located about 200m before the cache
