It is scary to know that, for over 100 years, about 20,000 Vietnamese people were imprisoned and perished in the Con Dao prison.





Coming to Con Dao, surely you cannot ignore the opportunity to contemplate sunrise or sunset from the lighthouse. In the afternoon, go to Hon Cau - a small islet with white sand beach interwoven with dead white corals which are extremely eye-catching. Especially, near the shore there is a large coral reef area, when the tide recedes, they appear shimmering in the sand; when submerged under the tide, with just a diving glass and snorkel you can watch the beauty of the place.
Many people coming to Hon Cau refuse to sleep, and want to follow the forest officers watch the sea turtles crawl ashore to lay eggs. Conservation rules in Con Dao are very strict, so that this place still preserve the pristine and almost intact ecosystem. Besides Hon Cau, Con Dao has many other beautiful islands worth visiting such as Hon Bay Canh, Hon Tai, Dam Tre Bay, Hon Tre, etc.
Con Dao Resort is not cheap, but worth money. There are neither sharp price cuts nor increases. Therefore, those who have come to Con Dao would not regret, and would praise this sacred destination and wonderful resort.
