Unveiling the Hidden Beauty: Must-Visit Islands in Southern Vietnam
1. Cù Lao Câu – Bình Thuận
2. Điệp Sơn – Khánh Hòa
Situated nearly 500 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Điệp Sơn Island in the Vân Phong Gulf, Khanh Hoa Province, is becoming an enticing destination while still preserving its pristine beauty.
3. Pirate Island – Kiên Giang
Pirate Island in Kiên Giang is considered an intriguing destination right from its name. In reality, it's the name of an archipelago consisting of 16 islands, with the largest being Hòn Tre (Hòn Đốc), located in Tiên Hải commune, Hà Tiên district. Due to the notorious pirates who once roamed this area in the past, the archipelago is called Pirate Archipelago. Approximately 350 km from Ho Chi Minh City, though it's a small island, it still exudes a unique charm for nature lovers and explorers.
4. Côn Đảo – Vũng Tàu
A place that has witnessed the ups and downs of history, once considered the earthly hell. The nearest place to Côn Đảo is Vĩnh Hải commune, Sóc Trăng province, 40 nautical miles away. It is now the resting place of Sister Võ Thị Sáu – a national heroine, revolutionary martyr Lê Hồng Phong, patriot Nguyễn An Ninh, and thousands of other soldiers.
5. Bình Hưng – Bình Ba
Two of the famous 'Four Bays' islands in Khánh Hòa. Although well-known, these places still retain unique aspects to captivate the staying power of tourists.
