One weekend, Nguyen Hai Son and his friends took a train from Ho Chi Minh to Nha Trang to divercover a new place in this city. Ordering motobikes for rent in advance, the group started the journey by motobike right from the railway station. Their destination was Hon Ong, an island in Van Phong Bay, 80 kilometers to the North from Nha Trang City. On the way, the backpackers felt very excited with the  dawn on sea, the road winding along the blue sea,  while sand hills and many other beautiful sceneries. Additionally, they sometimes stopped to enjoy local dishes like fish vermicelli in Ninh Hoa and pancakes with shrimps and squids in Van Ninh.


When reaching Dam Mon, they travelled by boat for about 20 minutes to Hon Ong. Hon Ong appeared green with rows of coconut trees and forest trees. The clear sea here was wonderful to bathe. The waters around the island, seperated by a row of floats, was no-fishing area. Therefore, bathing here, they sometimes saw fish swimming by them. Despite keeping the desolate feaure, Hon Ong has a resort built by bamboo hiding under the green trees. Beside contemplating the beauty of nature here, visitors can play some games such as rafting, water-skiing and diving.


"Hon Ong really brings us interesting experience. Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa has so many places for discovery", backpacker Nguyen Hai Son said.
