Hang Ngo is an office worker at a furniture company in Hanoi. In response to Travellive, Hang shared that she is a travel enthusiast, she likes to travel, explore and experience new lands and relationships. In particular, the nature of Hang's work is not too busy so she has a lot of time to plan her trips.
"I tend to choose experiential travel over resort travel, so my destinations are mostly mountainous areas and pristine islands," said Hang Ngo.
It is known that the office worker had planned to go to Ly Son twice, but both times were unsuccessful. Previously, Hang Ngo had to cancel her ticket because of the Covid-19 epidemic and the day Ly Son had a storm. Therefore, she was determined to go on this trip.
"I chose to go to Ly Son Island in June, this is when the weather is quite stable and ideal," said Hang Ngo.
She chose summer to travel to the central region, but she felt lucky because the weather was not too harsh. Ly Son Island had a lot of sunshine but was not hot at all. Thanks to the clear sky, Hang Ngo fully enjoyed every moment of sunrise and sunset on the sea.
"The scenery here is very beautiful, blue sea, white sand and the people are very friendly," Hang Ngo commented.
However, she believes that although Ly Son is deserted, it has begun to develop tourism. Therefore, Ly Son will not be able to avoid bad images such as soliciting tourists, stalking, etc. Hopefully, the government will handle it seriously in the near future so as not to affect tourists as well as the image of this place.
Through her experience, Hang Ngo found that Ly Son is far from the mainland so people here still lack many things, especially clean water. She was surprised when the water used for washing and bathing at the homestay was still salty, so when bathing, her skin felt sticky. Clean water and drinking water are very scarce so people have to preserve the water source very carefully. People have to buy 20L bottled water for drinking water to use gradually.
Ly Son island district has two islands, Big Island and Small Island, with a natural area of only nearly 10km2. Hang Ngo only needs to spend 4 days and 4 nights on the island to have enough time to travel to every corner of Ly Son.
"In Ly Son, all you need to do is raise your camera and you'll have a nice picture. We just walk around and stop to take pictures wherever we like," Hang Ngo shared. Hang Ngo's photos were taken at famous places such as Be Island, the flagpole, Thoi Loi mountain peak, Cau cave, To Vo gate, Mu Cu island,...
Ly Son is a beautiful small island that is worth experiencing. Big Island is very crowded with tourists on weekends, quite bustling and crowded. If you want to enjoy the peace, visitors should go to Small Island and stay overnight.
In addition, Hang Ngo commented that the most suitable time to go is summer around April - June, the weather is not too harsh but still sunny enough. Tourists visiting Ly Son should bring sunscreen and seasickness medicine to protect their health.
