Ly Son is one of the attractive tourist destinations of Quang Ngai province. Since 2007, the local government has launched the "Ly Son sea island" tourist route. Tourists from Quang Ngai city travel along Highway 24B to Sa Ky port, then go to the island by speedboat and rent a motorbike to visit the relics on the island. While staying on the island, tourists will enjoy seafood dishes and specialties such as garlic salad, anchovy salad, mixed seaweed (rau cum cum), sea urchin porridge (cầu gai)... From the Big Island, tourists can take a canoe to the Small Island to bathe and swim at the coconut beach. The sea water here is clear and the waves are calm.
Ly Son Island has 4 national relics: An Vinh communal house (a relic related to the Hoang Sa fleet above), An Hai communal house, Am Linh Tu (a place to worship ghosts, lost souls and the martyrs of Hoang Sa - Truong Sa), Hang Pagoda. Sa Huynh cultural relics have also been found on the island, such as Chinh stream, Oc hamlet and especially traces of Cham Pa culture. And 24 pagodas and hermitages. Ly Son is also known as the "Kingdom of Garlic" because its garlic products have a special flavor. The content of substances in garlic is always higher than garlic grown in other places.
In 2018, Ly Son welcomed nearly 240,000 visitors, with total tourism revenue reaching about 275 billion VND. Since the beginning of the year, more than 120,000 tourists have visited Ly Son.
