The Kiss Bridge and the best sunset time
Sunset in Phu Quoc is usually around 17:30 – 18:30 depending on the season. Arrive at the Kiss Bridge 45–60 minutes early to find a good spot and capture both the golden light and the pink-purple afterglow.
Photo tips: stand on each arm of the bridge and time the moment you “almost touch”; shoot into the light for silhouettes; switch to portrait mode once the sun has set.
