The fresh squids with watery bodies, the stout big mackerelshining the silvery color, the shrimps, king-sized crabs…are quickly transferred ashore. One open-air market is quickly formed; purchases go on so busily and joyfully. Just a short moment later, the plates of fresh cooked squid are imposed on the tables, ready to serve diners.

This may be the very last images of this land, since in a very near future, Bai Goc will see the formation of a so much monumental oil and petrochemical port. Life will be surely changes, but the fishermen of the land will always be nostalgic of this so much beautiful time.

As a beautiful uninhabited island, Hon Seo Island in Binh Dinh province is an ideal destination for those who want to explore the sea and island, see colourful pebbles on the beach,cross large rocks, take a dive, go fishing, and enjoy freshly-caught seafood.

In order to explore Hon Seo, you can use boat services of tourism companies or hire fishing boats from fishermen at Nhon Ly. If starting from Nhon Ly Beach, your boat will pass through the Wind Strait (Eo Gio) to Yen (swallow) Island.

It will take you 20 minutes to get to Hon Seo. But if you depart from Quy Nhon port, it will take you more than an hour to get there. The first impression when you reach the island is clear water. You can see strange coral reefs and colourful fish of different kinds swimming in water. Around the island, there are large and small rocks piled up, and you may want to climb them to view the sea.

One of the most interesting things about this island is a long stretch of colourful pebble stones. Colourful fist-shaped pebbles, eroded by the action of ocean waves over the years, become round and smooth. Beautiful pebbles are so attractive that most visitors want to take them home as pretty souvenirs. Some even bring them home to decorate houses or make a rock-garden. About 10 metres from the pebble stretch toward the foot of the mountain, there is a huge natural stone cave.

The cool atmosphere and its capacity of accommodating hundreds of people make this cave an ideal stop for tourists. From the top of Hon Seo, you can feel and see the high sky and the wide sea. On the left-hand side of the sea, there are the Phuong Mai Mountains jutting out, while you can see the Wind Strait, Yen Island and long sand dunes far away on the right-hand side. The combination of the Wind Strait, Yen Island and the Phuong Mai Peninsula looks like a huge pair of arms to embrace the island.

You feel fantastic while standing there, breathing cool, fresh air from the sea. Especially, sunrise or sunset is the most beautiful time to go sightseeing in Hon Seo. Hon Seo is a wonderful travel spot for adventure tours. You may go camping, rock climbing, sightseeing or fishing, and then cook and enjoy what you just caught. If you want to catch fish, you should go to the island in the morning, prepare some fishing rods and bait. Sometimes, you may catch big fish, if you’re lucky. You can also join local fishermen to experience fishing foreel or big fish, and then cook and eat them as a reward for successful fishing, as the locals usually do.
