Dinh Cau Shrine

Dinh Cau Shrine is a historic coastal shrine perched on a distinctive rocky outcrop at the mouth of the Duong Dong River in Duong Dong Ward, Phu Quoc City, An Giang Province. Built in 1937 to honor Thien Hau, goddess of the sea, it is revered by local fishermen for protection at sea. The shrine features a small temple reached by stone steps, offering panoramic views of the sea, harbor and sunset.

Visitors can expect a small colorful shrine atop a natural rock formation at the river mouth, reached by climbing about 29 stone steps. The site includes an incense-filled worship hall with altars, statues and offerings, surrounded by open terraces with panoramic views of Duong Dong harbor, fishing boats, Dinh Cau Beach and the sea. The setting is exposed and windy, especially at sunset, with nearby food stalls, seating areas and a small lighthouse adjacent to the rock.

Built in 1937 as a small shrine to worship Thien Hau (Thuy Long Thanh Mau) and Cau Quy, deities believed to protect fishermen and seafarers. The shrine was renovated and expanded in 1997, preserving its role as a historic landmark of Phu Quoc's fishing community.

An important folk religious site for local fishermen who pray for safe voyages and abundant catches before going to sea. It reflects Vietnamese coastal folk beliefs centered on sea goddesses and remains an active place of worship, incense offerings and annual festivals.
