Top 7 new experiences to welcome New Year 2024 in Sunset Town, Phu Quoc

Looking for the best place to celebrate the New Year 2024 in Vietnam, Sunset Town (Phu Quoc) is calling you with 7 "brand new" and cool experiences.

Admire sunset at Kiss Bridge

Kiss Bridge is one of the most beautiful places to watch sunset in the world

Kiss Bridge, officially launched on December 22, is considered to become a new symbol of Vietnam tourism after the “Golden Bridge phenomenon” at Sun World Ba Na Hills (Da Nang). The work of famous architect Marco Casamonti features two independent branches reaching out to the open sea, converging harmoniously but not touching, with a gap of 30 centimeters which allows a couple to share a romantic kiss. The unique design of Kiss Bridge also conveys a timeless message about love and the connection between humans, nature, and the universe.

Particularly, on January 1st, when viewing from the center of Sunset Town, the sun will set perfectly in the gap between the two bridge branches, before it slowly sinks into the sea. Currently, visitors can experience the Kiss Bridge for free. This offer lasts until December 30, 2023.
