Hanoi (VNA) – Hon Son island, located between Hon Tre island and Nam
Du archipelago, offshore the southern province of Kien Giang is a new destination
for a summer retreat, with beautiful white sandy beaches and imposing mountains.
Considered one of the most beautiful islands in Kien Giang, Hon Son is a
new hidden gem for nature-loving tourists. With its pristine beauty, graceful
beaches reflecting the vast ocean, Hon
Son appears as a sparkling jewel surrounded by coconut groves, with a wild
look.
With limited infrastructure, islanders are highly sensitive to the
environment, and use eco-friendly paper straws at coffee houses.
The best time to visit Hon Son island
is from May to December when weather conditions allow for calm seas and fresh,
cheap seafood.
To reach the island, visitors can fly
to Rach Gia Airport from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, and then
catch an hour-and-a-half speedboat
ride from Rach Gia pier.
Alternatively, visitors can also travel by traditional ferry,
which takes around 3.5 hours./.
