Journey along south central Vietnam -Part 1: Coming to Ly Son island

Hi Hiver. Today I return to the #Pinmapple community to share with everyone about the trips, the lands that I discovered. When the work is tiring, you don't want to try anymore, how will you choose? I had a time like that. In the middle of 2018 I had such a time, I felt bored with my current job, no longer motivated to work, everything was like a burden, so I decided to quit my job to choose a new job. new job. As soon as I quit my job, I immediately got a new job for myself, but the new job was not suitable for me. I've only been doing it for 2 months. After taking a break, I realized that I needed to rest, balance my life, to think carefully before starting a new job. I decided to go on a long trip with my colleague to relieve the pressure. We decided to make a journey through the 8 central provinces of Vietnam. The trip departs from Da Nang via Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Nha Trang, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan. My friend and I have never had any experience in backpacking, but because of our passion, we still decided to go because our youth is not afraid of difficulties. Our journey is done by motorbike. Today I will share with everyone about my trip, the trip will be divided into many articles.
The first route I will share is the journey from Da Nang, Quang Nam, and Quang Ngai. My friend and I both have a hometown in Quang Nam and work in Da Nang, so we skipped these two provinces and stopped in Quang Ngai on the first leg. The route from Da Nang - to Quang Ngai is nearly 150km, we arrived in Quang Ngai in the morning and chose Ly Son island as a sightseeing destination in Quang Ngai. On this trip, we only choose the most unique places to visit. Ly Son is the most beautiful place in Quang Ngai that we want to visit. To get to Ly Son island, we parked motorbikes at Sa Ky port and took a speedboat to get to the island. The speedboat from the mainland to the island takes about 1 hour. I was surprised when I came to Ly Son because this is a very beautiful island with clear seawater, long golden sand beaches, blue sky. After arriving on the island we rented motorbikes to go sightseeing around the island. The first point I visit when I come to Ly Son is Cau cave, Cau cave is a rock formation that is deeply carved by the process of creation, next to it are white sand beaches and natural rock formations creating a magnificent scene. The beach here is clear and very clean, very suitable for your vacation.

After coming to Cau Cave, we continue to Thoi Loi peak, where which is the mouth of a long-dormant volcano, from the top can see the island from above. Vast sea scenery, below are silver fields of garlic - Ly Son Island is famous for its specialty of garlic, garlic here is very fragrant, delicious, and has very good medicinal uses. On the top of Thoi Loi, there is also a flagpole about 20m high, with a red flag with a yellow star of Vietnam fluttering, affirming the rights of the country. At the top of Thoi Loi, the air is fresh and windy. Especially the sunset here is very beautiful.

The last destination we visited on Ly Son island was To Vo gate. This is a rock arch made of volcanic lava about 3m high. The sunset here is also super beautiful. This place is often chosen by couples to take wedding photos.

Finally, we enjoyed some fresh seafood caught by fishermen directly from the waters around the island. The seafood here is very fresh and the price is also cheap. We stayed one night on the island and departed for the mainland the next morning to continue our journey.Ly Son is a very beautiful island that I will come back to next time, because there are many experiences on the island that I have not discovered yet. By the way, I would like to introduce to everyone a new high-speed train line opened in Da Nang that will take you directly to Ly Son island connecting Da Nang - Quang Ngai tourism. If you have the opportunity to come to Da Nang, you should choose Ly Son as a destination in this journey, surely Ly Son will not disappoint you.

The next morning we chose the earliest train to leave the island. Then continue the journey from Quang Ngai to Quy Nhon. This is the longest distance we have been riding motorbikes continuously on the whole journey. The distance from Quang Ngai to Quy Nhon is about 200km, so we take turns riding motorbikes. The roadside hammock stalls are the optimal choice for short breaks along the way. Around noon, we arrived in the coastal city of Quy Nhon.We take a break to eat in Quy Nhon to regain strength for the next program. The journey to discover Quy Nhon will be shared with everyone in the next article. Let's all wait for interesting discoveries in the coastal city of Quy Nhon. It's been a pleasure meeting you all at Hive, I wish you all the best.
