Ly Son is a small island off the coast of Quang Ngai, known as the 'Maldives of Vietnam'.

From April to August, Ly Son is at its best. The weather is nice, and the sea is calm. More and more visitors come to enjoy the sun and clear water.

While Cu Lao Re is well known, An Binh island is a surprise to many visitors.

An Binh is a small, peaceful island with few people. It has a simple rhythm, far from city life.

Most people on the island fish or farm. Some now offer homestays to visitors.

Manh Tien Khoi, a travel writer, was surprised by the island. He had been to many islands, but this one was special.

Khoi came to the island because of its nickname. He found it was even better than he thought.

The island is just a short boat ride from the main island, but it feels very different.

The first thing you notice is the white sand and clear water. You can see rocks under the water.

The island was made by volcanoes, which gives it a unique look.

Khoi arrived on the island, rented a bike, and explored. He saw beautiful trees, murals, and flowers.

In the afternoon, he kayaked and watched the sunset, a very peaceful time.

Visitors can do simple activities like kayaking or snorkeling at low prices.

What stayed with Khoi were the island's special details.

There's only one place for breakfast, and it sells out fast. Prices are low, around $1 for a meal.

You need cash, as digital payments are not common.

There are no restaurants, so meals are arranged through homestays.

Locals walk, bike, or use motorbikes. Visitors can leave their vehicles anywhere.

Homestays are simple but clean and have the basics.

What stands out is the hosts' kindness.

Fresh water is scarce, so visitors are asked to use it carefully.

The island has no market, so meals are made to order.

Locals are simple and sincere, hoping visitors will come for the natural beauty and hospitality.

Many people have seen pictures of the island, and demand has increased.

The island is not for those who want luxury or convenience.

It's for those who want to step away from the noise of life and find something quieter.
