Open Phu Quoc← Tất cả bàiHam Ninh before and after redevelopment
Many photos with bold imprints of time about Ham Ninh are always associated with the silhouette of a rustic wooden bridge stretching out to the sea. That legendary bridge has gone through many ups and downs, undergoing many remodeling before this old building was completely dismantled in the last days of 2019; the subsequent articles or news reports merely reflect the time of publication, and cannot replace the fact that you carry your car down to check the actual passage yourself today.
Looking at the island today
If you are planning to visit Ham Ninh to breathe in the smell of the sea at the pier or soak your feet in the water, the wisest course of action is to ask the people around or the hotel receptionist about which paths are allowed. The landscape of the coastal buildings is most likely completely "transformed", so please don't stubbornly follow the camera angles of the old bridge and be disappointed because you can't find the right rocky outcrop to watch the glorious sunrise in the past. Be a sophisticated traveler: choose to stand only in public areas and absolutely stay away from places where fishermen are busy working.
Read materials at the right time
Ham Ninh has a multifaceted vitality: it is both a place of residence for people, an anchorage for the seafaring profession, and also a culinary destination that attracts tourists. When a pier or a coastal structure is "rebuilt", the old promotional tourism images have a huge lag compared to the actual beat. Instead of forever nostalgic and regretting a photo that has disappeared forever, learn to accept and tell about these changes as an inevitable part of the flow of contemporary life.
If you want to see it in person
- Continuously review and update the actual situation as the departure date approaches.
- Always keep an attitude of absolute respect for the fishermen's production area and give way at the entrances to and from the boats.
- Photographing the scenery is carefree, but if you want to save the portrait of the working people, a smile asking for permission in advance is a must.
