Tháp Đồng hồ (Clock Tower) is a prominent landmark located in the heart of Duong Dong Town on Phu Quoc Island. This tall, white clock tower stands at a busy intersection near the night market and the Duong Dong River. It is a relatively modern structure, built as a decorative focal point for the town. The clock is visible from several streets and serves as a convenient meeting spot for locals and tourists. The area around the tower is lively, with shops, cafes, and food stalls. At night, the tower is illuminated, adding a charming glow to the bustling streets. While not a major historical site, it is a beloved symbol of the town and a popular photo opportunity. Visitors often stop here while exploring the night market or walking along the riverfront. The clock's design is simple but elegant, with four faces showing the time.
