district in Quảng Ngãi province, Vietnam. Previously known as Cù Lao Ré
Lý Sơn is an insular district in Quảng Ngãi province, Central Coast (Vietnam). Lý sơn is known for its many temples, beaches and garlic fields.
Ferries and speedboats depart for Lý Sơn from Cang Sa Ky Port daily. During busy periods such as the weekends, public holidays, and Vietnamese summer holidays, although extra boats are added to the schedule, it can still become very busy. If you are travelling during peak times, it is recommended to buy or reserve a ticket at least one day before.
There are taxis, tuk-tuks and rentable motorcycles on the island, all of which provide easy access to get to the major points of interest.
The garlic harvesting season goes from February to March, which is the best time to buy the produce.
