By chance, Phan Thanh Dat (26 years old, HCMC) learned about Nam Du Island through social networks and had a memorable 2-day-1-night trip here. "I am someone who likes to explore unspoiled places with natural landscapes, so I decided to come to Nam Du. This is also the time when Nam Du is in its most beautiful season, with golden sunshine, calm and blue sea, suitable for everyone to travel," the male tourist said. Photo: NVCC

Thanh Dat affirmed that the advantage of Nam Du compared to some other famous beaches is its wild, natural beauty, clear blue sea water where you can see fish swimming below. This place has not been exploited for tourism too much so the air is fresh and life is very peaceful.

The islanders are enthusiastic and hospitable. Wherever you go, whether you are familiar or unfamiliar, you will be talked to and helped.

In the afternoon, the image of fishing boats returning, with the red sun setting behind, creates a peaceful and picturesque scene,” Thanh Dat shared. Photo: NVCC

In addition to the big island, Nam Du also has a system of small islands around, of which Hon Lon (Cu Tron) is the largest island, with a dense population. Some other prominent islands include Hon Mau, Hon Dau, Hon Ngang, Hon Hai Bo Dap, each with its own beauty. Thanh Dat explored Hai Bo Dap island with 2 sea sides and a small road in the middle, which is famous on social networks.

Kien Giang currently has 3 island communes without national grid electricity, including An Son, Nam Du (Kien Hai) and Tho Chau, with electricity only supplied 18 hours a day. Every day, Nam Du will have power outages and use generators, and islanders will also limit the use of high-power appliances such as air conditioners. The roads are easy to travel and necessities and fresh water on the island are still plentiful. Photo: NVCC

Before coming to Nam Du, Thanh Dat proactively sought information through social networking sites and local guides. He believes that if tourists intend to come to Nam Du, they need to prepare relatively good health because they need to travel a lot, the journey here is not like a resort at all. Besides, the island is still wild, so there will not be many entertainment spots and rich and diverse accommodation and restaurants. Photo: NVCC
