Day 2: Let's continue the Ly Son Island
Please check out the places we visited on the first day here
We arrived in the Dao Be (tinay/small island in English) of Ly Son on the second day of our stay on the big island of Ly Son. The small island, located in An Binh island commune in the Ly Son island district, is about 3 nautical miles from the major island and takes about 15 minutes to get by boat; the two-way fee from the big island to the small island was 100 thousand VND in 2018 (5USD)
There are roughly 100 households on the little island, and the residents rely on fishing for a living. However, because this location is well-known, it has always been a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the neighborhood. Ly Son is a small island off the coast of Vietnam. The best time to visit the island is from May to September, and because it is a small island, we prefer to explore by walking around it.
The fresh air, the kindness of the island population, the long white sand beaches, the pure blue sea, and the dark black rocks reaching down the shore make this place quieter than the big island. The stacked black rocks are volcanic eruption materials dating back millions of years. The island's beaches are always crystal clear blue, as may be seen at the bottom. Many rows of soaring coconut trees are planted around the island, and this is also where a very famous garlic variety, lonely garlic, also known as single clove garlic, is grown. Garlic is grown here on the main groundwater and alluvial soil from The remaining erupting crater is nowhere to be found, and its value is unknown.
When you travel around Baby Island, you will see that there are numerous magnificent beaches, including cave beach, coconut beach, west beach, collision beach, beach beach, and egg beach, which are not to be missed. The island's back beach is located near the back of the island, where sediments flowing into the sea have created a black rock line that runs all the way to the sea. If you stand here and gaze down at the sea, you will notice a lot of fish swimming around in the water. The water appears to be very clear, but it is quite deep here, so people must be careful not to jump from the rocks into the deep ocean.
We went diving to see the coral in the pure blue water, and the coral here is quite colorful, thanks to the reef ecology. We have to acquire freshwater from houses to bathe again because freshwater is rare on the island. If I get the opportunity to return to the Ly Son island district in the future, I would like to spend some time camping on a tiny island and stargazing in a calm space with little power to observe millions of stars in the sky.
If the big island has a bustling scene, the small island has a completely different scene. On the small island, we can explore several beaches and rest while watching the waves undulate. Ly Son is an island that has retained many of its untamed characteristics to this day. It is an island that international tourists are unfamiliar with. This is my favorite island, which I refer to as "Maddive" in Vietnamese.
If you have the opportunity to visit Vietnam, I hope you will take advantage of it and visit this lovely tiny island. There are many aspects about the countryside, the people, and the food here that will make you nostalgic. I hope my article will give you some notes on hand for your trip to the island in the near future.
Thank you all for taking the time to read my post, and have a wonderful day.
