The Kiss Bridge (Cầu Hôn) in Phu Quoc, often called Vietnam’s kissing bridge, is an 800-metre pedestrian bridge in Sunset Town whose two arms stop 30 cm apart above the sea. It sits at the southern tip of Phu Quoc and is a different landmark from the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, which is held up by 2 giant stone hands, the Love Bridge in Da Nang and the LED-lit Starlight Bridge in Ho Chi Minh City.
- Tickets: from 50,000 VND (₹185) before 4:00 PM; children under 1 m enter free.
- Opening hours: 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, then reopening in the evening after the Symphony of the Sea show.
- Distance: 25–30 km from Duong Dong, about 35–50 minutes by car.
- Sunset: the bridge closes before sunset in every month, so late afternoon is the time for photos on the bridge and the sunset itself is watched from the Sunset Town beachfront.
This guide covers the bridge’s location, ticket prices and opening hours, sunset times by month, the routes from Duong Dong, the best photo spots, the evening shows and the restaurants nearby.
What Is Kiss Bridge in Phu Quoc, and Why Is It Famous?
Kiss Bridge Phu Quoc is an 800-metre steel and glass pedestrian bridge about 15 m above the sea, opened by Sun Group in Sunset Town in December 2023. It was designed by Italian architect Marco Casamonti of Archea Associati, and its 2 curved arms run out over the water before stopping 30 cm apart at the tips.
The Vietnamese name Cầu Hôn plays on 2 meanings, “kiss bridge” and “proposal bridge”. The design draws on Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, in which 2 fingers reach towards each other without touching, and on the Vietnamese legend of Nguu Lang and Chuc Nu, 2 lovers separated by the Milky Way who meet once a year on a bridge. The near-touching tips are why the bridge has become a favourite for proposals, honeymoons and pre-wedding shoots.
Where Is Kiss Bridge Located in Phu Quoc?
Kiss Bridge is in Sunset Town (Thị trấn Hoàng Hôn), An Thoi, on the southern tip of Phu Quoc, directly opposite the Venice-style clock tower and close to Kem Beach. The map below shows where Kiss Bridge sits within Sunset Town, at the southern tip of Phu Quoc.
The distance from Duong Dong town centre to Kiss Bridge is 25–30 km, about 35–50 minutes by road. From Phu Quoc International Airport, Kiss Bridge is about 20 km away, or around 25 minutes by road. The bridge sits at the opposite end of the island from Grand World and VinWonders, and the Phu Quoc attractions map shows how the south fits into a full island route.
With the location clear, the next step is choosing the best way to get there from Duong Dong.
How to Get to Kiss Bridge from Duong Dong Town Centre
Kiss Bridge can be reached from Duong Dong by Grab car or taxi, by motorbike or on the Sun World shuttle bus.
By Grab Car or Taxi
A Grab car from Duong Dong to Kiss Bridge costs about 150,000–250,000 VND (₹550–₹915) one way and takes 35–50 minutes, depending on traffic. Grab cars are easy to book on the island, but availability in An Thoi drops late at night, so the return ride is best booked before the evening show rather than after it.
By Motorbike — Self-Drive or Grab Bike
A Grab Bike from Duong Dong costs about 50,000–80,000 VND (₹185–₹295) one way, and a rental motorbike costs about ₹400–₹600 a day. Riders follow DT975 south to the large intersection near An Thoi, turn right onto New An Thoi Road, follow the signs into Sunset Town past the clock tower and park, then walk about 5 minutes to the bridge.
By Sun World Shuttle Bus
Sun World runs a shuttle bus between Duong Dong and Sunset Town, with pick-ups on Tran Hung Dao Street and at the Novotel on An Thoi Street. The afternoon departure from Duong Dong arrives in time for the late-afternoon light before the bridge closes at 5:30 PM, and the last return usually leaves Sunset Town in the early evening, so visitors staying for a night show need private transport back. The timetable changes from time to time and is worth checking with the hotel or Sun World before travelling.
Travellers combining Kiss Bridge with Hon Thom Island can also arrive by the Hon Thom Cable Car, whose An Thoi station sits beside Sunset Town.
Best Time to Visit Kiss Bridge Phu Quoc for Sunset Photos
The best time to visit Kiss Bridge is from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM, when late-afternoon light falls on the bridge before it closes, followed by sunset from the Sunset Town beachfront. Kiss Bridge closes to visitors at 5:30 PM, and sunset in Phu Quoc never comes earlier than about 5:39 PM, so the sunset itself cannot be watched from the bridge in any month.
- Best time of day: 4:00–5:30 PM on the bridge for golden light; sunset from the beachfront between about 5:40 PM and 6:30 PM depending on the month; and after 8:15 PM, a return visit to see the bridge lit up from the north gate.
- Best months: November to April, Phu Quoc’s dry season, gives the most reliable clear skies, while June to September brings the southwest monsoon and more cloud.
- Holiday periods: the Christmas and New Year break, Diwali (October–November) and Holi (February–March) all fall in or near the dry season, and late December and early January are the busiest weeks.
- January 1 alignment: on January 1, the setting sun lines up with the 30 cm gap between the 2 tips at around 5:53 PM. This is after the bridge closes, so the moment is watched from the beachfront.
| Month | Sunset | Month | Sunset |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 6:02 PM | July | 6:31 PM |
| February | 6:13 PM | August | 6:24 PM |

Best Photo Spots at Kiss Bridge Phu Quoc
Kiss Bridge has 5 classic photo spots, and the timing for each depends on the 5:30 PM closure and the evening light show. These spots come from Vietnamtour.in’s experience guiding travellers around Sunset Town.
- The 30 cm gap at the tips: 2 people stand at the end of each arm, facing each other across the gap. The best light is between 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM, and the tips get crowded in December and January, so arriving early helps.
- Mid-bridge ocean view: halfway along either arm, the open Gulf of Thailand fills the frame, and a wide-angle lens captures the curve of the arm.
- Sunset Town beachfront wide shot: from the beachfront, both arms appear together against the sky, and this is also the place to watch the sunset after the bridge closes.
- Night lights from the beach: the bridge’s LED lighting reflects on the water after dark, and the beach is a good spot for the Symphony of the Sea fireworks at about 7:45 PM.
- Aerial view from the Hon Thom Cable Car: the cable car between An Thoi and Hon Thom passes high above Sunset Town and shows both arms from above.
Bright colours such as red, gold and emerald stand out against the bridge’s pale steel and the blue sea, which suits pre-wedding and couple shoots. Couples planning a second photo evening often head to the north of the island, and these Grand World Phu Quoc photos show why its Venice-style canals pair well with Sunset Town.
