How To Travel Around Ly Son Island
Because Ly Son Island is very tiny, the best way to go around it is by renting a motorbike. The price for one day varies from 100,000 VND to 150,000 VND. Furthermore, there are a number of taxis on the island. One can choose this option if you have children with you.
Get In - By Road
Ly Son is a relatively petite island that can be covered by renting motorcycles, bicycles, taxis or electric buses. The width of the island is roughly 6km from east to west and 2km from north to south, which means that distances are quite short. Ly Son has numerous roads despite its size, which lead to every corner of the territory. Conversely no roads reach the area in the northwest coast . However anywhere else on this land has a narrow tarred street as well as an unpaved lane leading to it. Nonetheless, some of these roads (particularly those going up into the volcanic peaks) are military controlled and are therefore inaccessible.
Get In - Motorbikes
100,000 – 150,000 VND per day is the price at which most establishments rent motorbikes (or scooters) on the island. The best way to explore Ly Son is by riding around the island by yourself. The general traffic across Ly Son is not heavy and road condition is fair enough. Nevertheless, these roads are very thin and often get filled with the sand that has been dumped along their margins or blown over garlic farms’ surfaces.The bikes do not like sand: if you break suddenly or turn your wheels in it which is under one inch thick, a motorbike may slip easily. Be careful while driving. Unfortunately, there were no bikes for hire available on the island at all though it could be a smooth means of transport as generally the terrain is flat and it would be environmentally friendly mode of traveling quietly through nature on two wheels only. However bringing your own bike from mainland to Ly Son Island by boat isn’t difficult either.
