Lý Sơn Island is a spectacular volcanic district in Quảng Ngãi Province, consisting of three main islets formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Celebrated as the "Kingdom of Garlic" due to its unique soil-cultivated single-clove garlic, the island features dramatic volcanic cliffs, black basalt formations, and crystal-clear waters. It is a stunning, offbeat paradise for nature lovers and adventurers.
Climb volcanic craters, stand on the basalt Arch Gate (To Vo), and taste rare single-clove garlic.
