Dawn and sunset are the two moments that many tourists look forward to when coming to Phu Quy special zone. Depending on the time of year, the sunrise on the island usually appears from about 5:15 am - 5:45 am. The sky gradually changes from dark purple to light pink, then orange-yellow when the sun rises above the horizon.
Meanwhile, sunset usually takes place from about 5:15 PM - 6:00 PM, when the last rays of the day cover the sea surface in bright orange-red color.
To have beautiful photos and choose an ideal viewing angle, visitors should go to sunrise or sunset spots about 20-30 minutes in advance.
