Con Dao Island
Country Fact: South Vietnam
Looking at a map, Con Dao Island looks
like a bear rising from the sea to east of the most southern point of the
country. Originally a prison for patriots and revolutionists during the
French and American resistance, Con Dao Island sheltered brave
revolutionary spirits of the Vietnamese people. More than 22,000 prisoners
who dedicated their lives to national independence were incarcerated on
the isolated island of Con Dao.
Con Dao Island is also famous for its
nice beaches shaded with evergreen trees, fresh air, clear blue waters,
and primitive forests. Some of those beaches include Dam Trau Hang Duong
and Phi Yen where visitors can relax and enjoy the warm temperature. The
best time to visit Con Dao Island is from March to June, when the sea is
calm.
