Back to Kien Giang to discover the beauty of Nam Du


What could be nicer than sitting forward in the ice, feeling the cool breeze that covers your body, exploring the islands, big and small green trees in turn. Eyes, the funny train driver tells the story of Nam Du again.

You can find information about this island on the Internet and in various fat forums. However, the information is quite small, the picture of this place is not much. At that time, Nam Du was known as a small archipelago of the Kien Hai District in Kien Giang Province. The largest island in the Nam Du archipelago is Lon Island in An Son parish, but people used to call it Cu Cuon Island.

Tourism on Nam Du Island has not been developed, everything is pretty wild and natural. I rarely ventured to a place without such information, but my desire to go to the wonderful island in the summer prompted me to go.

I am accompanied by a group of friends who love photography. They were conquered by the wild but seductive photos of Nam Du.

After almost 8 hours of driving, we reach the Rach Gia Pier on a bright, sunny morning. It took another 2 hours to rent a speedboat to Hon Lon. Nam Du finally showed up as expected. No, I have to say more than the pictures I've seen many times. The sea, the sky, the waves, the trees and everything in Hon Lon is picturesque. Even to the fishing port is also poetic with colorful ships that appear high on the clear water between the skies, the distance are the silver head waves that alternately move ashore.

Impressed by Hon Lon's "opening" beauty, you can rent a boat to explore the neighboring islands. What could be nicer than sitting forward in the ice, feeling the cool breeze that covers your body, and discovering the large and small islands with the green trees one after the other. Again the funny uncle tells the story of Nam Du.

Nam Du has 21 large and small islands like Ha Long in the south. It is not clear where the name Nam Du comes from, but it is said that the name "Nam Du" comes from the name "Nam Du" (meaning "southern island"), which is used by the French in the way of grapes were written were called. old times. Folk also spreads very interesting quotes about 21 islands in the Nam Du archipelago system.


After a leisurely stroll at sea, the ship sails to Hon Ngang, where you can immerse yourself in the emerald green sea and enjoy the pristine view like a beautiful picture that will be an impossible experience. to forget. After a dive in the clear water with an unobstructed view of the sea floor, the boat leaves Hon Ngang for Hon Dau, as the seafood here is very fresh and is an ideal place to stop in the evening.

When you come to Hon Dau you will see the fishing boats hurry to the coast and enjoy buying fresh seafood at a very reasonable price. To make the trip more attractive, you should bring seafood to the coast and nest. Organize a wild grill party. The sweet taste of fresh squid shrimp brings you a satisfying dinner with protein with sea flavor.

When dawn broke through the fishing nets hanging over the pole, we eagerly got into the boat. Hon Mau looked surprisingly beautiful under the bright early morning sunshine, high blue sky and floating white clouds.

On the huge sea there are wavy rocks of all shapes, jagged and rough surfaces that give a great picture. Breathtaking but peaceful because the sea is very calm here. The waves roll just enough to ripple the water stream instead of rushing like in other places.

The most interesting thing is when the sun rises, the sun shines on the water in the rocks, the water meets the sunlight, which is reflected by the black of the white stone, the silver eagle, seen from a distance like white smoke drifting away . floating in the sky like in the film Journey to the West. Far from the shore is the clear water that reflects the colorful pebbles where people just want to lie down to enjoy the green trees and coconut leaves that fly in the wind.

It is true that nothing is nicer than catching the sunrise at sea, especially a place with a beautiful dreamy sea like Nam Du. Then we have breakfast and bath, clean up the luggage, wait for the train to Hon Lon. From here we take the speedboat back to Rach Gia, then get back in the car to Saigon and end the wonderful journey. .
