CON DAO SIGHTSEEING (Breakfast, lunch, dinner)
07:00 Have breakfast. Then set out to explore the entire island:
- Con Dao Museum, a poignant historical witness, was inaugurated in 2010. With more than 2,000 valuable artifacts, it realistically recreates the harsh life in Con Dao Prison while honoring the indomitable spirit of revolutionary soldiers. Through each artifact, visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the nation's heroic history of struggle and appreciate its noble human values.
- The Lord of the Island's Palace, also known as the Grand Governor's Residence, is an ancient architectural complex built from 1862 to 1876, alongside the establishment of Con Dao Prison. Featuring distinctive French-style architecture, the palace includes a main building, auxiliary buildings, and expansive gardens. It was once the residence of 53 island governors and witnessed the many historical ups and downs of Con Dao Prison. Today, the palace is a museum preserving valuable artifacts that recount the painful yet heroic story of a dark period.
- Phu Hai Prison: An ancient and long-standing prison built by the French colonialists, where thousands of prisoners were detained; at its peak, one cell block held up to 200 prisoners. Today, it has been restored and is open to visitors.
- Hidden within the maze of Con Dao Prison is the French-style Tiger Cages, also known as Phu Tho Camp—the earthly hell of prisoners. Built with a system of sturdy cells, Phu Tuong Camp held the most defiant prisoners. Here, they faced brutal punishments and mental torture.
- In 1971, Phu Binh Camp—the "American-style Tiger Cages"—was established, bearing the haunting legacy of a dark period. With its narrow, damp, and suffocating design, this prison became a place where thousands of patriotic prisoners were confined and tortured. Its difference from the French-style Tiger Cages lay in its sophisticated surveillance system, which kept prisoners constantly living in fear and anxiety.
Afternoon: Continue the sightseeing program:
- Visit and swim at Dam Trau Beach (12 km from the center), the most beautiful beach in Con Dao, still retaining its pristine character. Enjoy relaxing and recreational moments amid the blue sea and golden sand, and explore the island's untouched nature.
- Visit Cau Temple, dedicated to Prince Cai, the son of Lord Nguyen Anh. Here, you can admire the temple's ancient architecture, visit the tomb, and view the majestic pair of white horse statues.
Afterward, return to the town center to enjoy local specialties and freely stroll along the seaside streets at night.
