CNN’s magazine has selected its top five destinations to visit this fall, with Phu Quoc island of Vietnam among the most unique destinations in the Asia-Pacific region, together with the Republic of Korea’s Jeju island, and Fukuoka in Japan.

 

The magazine wrote: ‘If you're dreaming of a beach getaway in Asia this fall, Phu Quoc in Vietnam should be a top contender’’

In addition, it's is just an hour from Ho Chi Minh City and offers a 30-day visa exemption policy for all foreign passports.
