Lý Sơn district, Island district in Quảng Ngãi, Vietnam
Lý Sơn is a district comprising two volcanic islands in Quảng Ngãi province, shaped by craters and elevated terrain. The geological structure of the islands influences how settlements are arranged and how residents use the available land.
The islands were inhabited in ancient times, as shown by archaeological findings, and later served as a trading hub for the Champa kingdom. This long history of settlement has shaped the communities living here today.
The islands hold deep meaning for fishing families who have built their lives around the sea and honor maritime traditions in local temples. This connection to ocean life shapes how residents work and celebrate their heritage today.
Visitors reach the islands via regular ferry services from the mainland, with the best travel conditions occurring between late winter and early summer. Ferry departures are frequent and the crossing is straightforward.
The islands are known for cultivating a special garlic variety that thrives in volcanic soil with a distinctive flavor. This local specialty is an important product of the region, yet often overlooked by visitors.
