Phu Quoc – Vietnam’s emerald island – is not just beaches and pepper farms. It’s a living gallery of turquoise waters, golden-hour light, fishing villages painted in primary colors, and untouched jungles begging to be sketched. For artists, photographers, and creative souls, Phu Quoc is pure inspiration.
