Even though Ly Sơn is famous for Black garlic, I only tasted once and it’s not my type. 🥲 With its natural wildness still present, Ly Son has developed into a popular tourist destination. Ly Son is a spot where you won't be let down once you get there with its beautiful natural surroundings, amiable residents, and mouthwatering cuisine. The months of June through September are ideal for visiting Ly Son. The sunniness and pleasant weather make it a good day to visit the beach. Before you go, do make sure to book hotel/motel/home stay first just in case it’s sold out. 🥹#naturalwonders #gooutside #beachlife #urbanexplorer #staycation

Ly Son is a small island off the coast of Quang Ngai Province with over 50 shrines and temples, as well as sandy beaches and garlic plantations. It is mainly frequented by locals during the holidays due to its secluded position. The island is known for its garlic farms, but there are more than 50 Buddhist temples and shrines that are easily accessible by motorcycle for a day of touring. There are also numerous beautiful beaches with reasonably priced hotels and seafood restaurants. And it's for this reason that I adore this little slice of heaven. When you're in Vietnam, you should definitely pay it a visit. #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

#summervacay Ly Son Island was a surprise treasure during my Vietnam summer adventure. It’s volcanic in origin, with dramatic cliffs, black rocks, and glowing blue waters. Climbing Thoi Loi Peak for a panoramic view was a highlight, as was eating garlic shrimp from the island’s famous garlic farms. It’s still quite undeveloped, which adds to its magic. Fewer tourists, pristine beaches, and an island culture that feels deeply authentic.

This place is considered as Maldives of Vietnam ❤️

📍[Ly Son Island] - Thoi Loi Mountain - Viewpoint of Ly Son's panorama My favorite place on Ly Son Island, during my 3 days and 2 nights in the island, I rode my motorbike up here about 5-6 times; each time I went up, I experienced a different time, a different coordinate and gave me different emotions. The road from the National Flagpole on Thoi Loi Mountain back to the foot of the mountain is the most beautiful road on Ly Son Island, the road is both big and wide, there is a right turn to get a view of the sunrise, in the afternoon you will be immersed in the sky and the blue sea. In addition, the left corner, the direction to Thoi Loi Lake is also breathtakingly beautiful; the lake itself is nothing, but the view next to it can see the whole view of Ly Son Island from above, not to mention the road going down is as beautiful as in the movies; The two sides of the road are covered with pretty flowers and as far as the eye can see is the deep blue of the sky and the sea. I feel a bit regretful that I only had the chance to go to Ly Son Island until now, although my hometown is Quang Nam, which is also a neighbor of Quang Ngai, but anyway, I have set foot and fully explored this land. "Quang Nam often argues, Quang Ngai often worries", I also admit that I often argue, but arguing here is in the style of arguing, not cursing. If I were not from Quang Nam, I would not be able to hear the local accent when I went to Ly Son Island. Luckily, my neighbor's accent is quite similar to my hometown, sometimes he works as an interpreter for my brothers from the North and the South, but anyway, I still love the accent of each region because it has its own characteristics. I woke up at 5:20 and rode my motorbike up Thoi Loi Mountain to watch the sunrise. It was great because the sun blessed me with a day that couldn't be more wonderful. Listening to music with a few friends, looking at the endless space and enjoying the first rays of sunlight of the day, like a movie that I often imagine. In the morning, going up Thoi Loi Mountain will see the sunrise, in the afternoon, you will see the sunset. To capture the lush green scenery as well as not being exposed to the sun, it is reasonable to go up here around 2-3 pm, the sun is not too harsh and the sea water is crystal clear, so beautiful that it makes your eyes dizzy. #mytripvlog #awesomepic #mytripvlog #summervacation
