Ly Son

10 DAYS ACROSS VIETNAM ON LY SON ISLAND AND REAL PAINTINGS ✨ I didn't believe this place existed in real life before I came here. Ly Son Island is an island district in Quang Ngai province, the best time to visit the island is the dry season from April to September every year. And I had a 10-day trip to this beautiful island. ⛵️ Transportation: We traveled by motorbike from Hoi An - Quang Nam to Sa Ky Port - Quang Ngai, about 100km away, within 3 hours. The road is beautiful and easy to travel (you can combine Hoi An and Ly Son tours) ⛵️ Buy train tickets and bring your motorbike on board: - Buy train tickets, train departure time: We asked Ms. Chung (owner of Phuoc Loc homestay) to book train tickets about 10 days in advance with the departure ticket price of 203xu/person, the return ticket can be booked later for 185xu/person. There are many trains and train departure times a day, everyone calculates the appropriate time and then books tickets. - Bring your motorbike on board: When we arrive at Sa Ky Port, we drive straight to gate number 5 (goods), then the boat assistants will guide and let the motorbike on board. The ticket price for motorbikes is 100xu/way (no need to buy in advance). ⛵️ Where to stay in Ly Son Island: We spent 7 days on Big Island and 3 days on Small Island. - Big Island, I stayed at Phuoc Loc Guesthouse: A beautiful home with bougainvillea trellis in front of the gate, spacious and airy room. Especially Ms. Chung is super enthusiastic, supporting us from A to Z. Our room has a balcony that can see the sea every morning at dawn. It is near Mu Cu Lighthouse, Hang Cau and Thoi Loi Mountain. - Small Island, I stayed at Be Ecolodge: The home is close to the sea, I had a very interesting experience sleeping in a tent for 1 night and sleeping in a wooden house for 1 night. The feeling of living with nature, waking up in the morning to the cool blue sea. ⛵️ Places I went to in Ly Son: Everyone can arrange their time to go for about 3-4 days with 3 days on Big Island and 1 day on Small Island, which is enough time to visit the places. If you want to go for a healing trip in the morning to watch the sunrise here, and in the afternoon to watch the sunset there, please refer to my check-in locations and times: 📸 Mu Cu Lighthouse: Watch the sunrise (4:30- 6:00) 📸 Hang Pagoda: 8:30- 10:00 📸 To Vo Gate: People often watch the sunset here (but it's super crowded). If you want to take photos without people and not against the light, go around 8:00- 9:00. 📸 Mural Road: 9:00- 10:00 or watch the sunset. 📸 Cau Cave: 14:00- 16:00 📸 Thoi Loi Mountain Slope: The photo color is like mine at noon 13:00- 14:00, you can go later around 15:00-17:00. 📸 Thoi Loi Freshwater Lake: 14:00- 17:00 📸 Ly Son Flagpole: sunset 17:00- 18:00 📸 Bai Ngang Dao Be: 11:00- 15:00 ⛵️ What to eat on Ly Son Island?
