Quang Ngai
Wonderful crystal-clear beaches
Ly Son Island is a beautiful island off the coast of Quang Ngai Province, just a one-hour flight from either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Known mostly for the “Lonely Garlic”, the island’s specialty, Ly Son Island has not been a popular holiday destination to Vietnamese and foreign tourists alike until recent years. Because it is still mostly untouched, Ly Son Island is a perfect getaway for travellers who want experiences beyond the usual tourist attractions. Tourists who come to Ly Son Island will experience the “authentic Vietnam” – crystal-clear beaches, savory seafood and overwhelming hospitality from the local people.
