Côn Sơn Island

Con Son Island extends over 51 square kilometers, featuring golden sand beaches, clear waters, and mountains that descend into blue-green waters.

The island functioned as a penal colony from 1862 to 1975, where approximately 22,000 political prisoners lost their lives under severe conditions.

The Hang Duong Cemetery contains memorials dedicated to national heroes and citizens, serving as a central location for remembrance ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the island through direct flights from major Vietnamese cities or by speedboat services from Soc Trang and Vung Tau ports.

During nesting season from June to September, sea turtles emerge onto the beaches to lay their eggs in protected areas.
