Ba Ria-Vung Tau (VNA) - Con Dao islandin the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau has been included on a list ofthe nine best paradise islands in the world to escape to this year by Voguemagazine.

Con Dao is an archipelago of 16 islands,each one more beautiful than the last. Preserving the pure nature of theislands, there are only a few hotels built on the island. Another assetthat this archipelago offers is its national park with an intact ecosystem,Vogue said.

Con Dao has pristine beauty, mostly unspoiledbeaches, forests and turquoise waters, and a strictly-protected national park.

Between March and September is the best time tovisit the island as it has little rain and the sea is more"obedient", making it easier for goods to be transported from themainland.

From Ho Chi Minh City, visitors can take a busto Ba Ria-Vung Tau province or Soc Trang province. It will take about twoto four hours, and then a high-speed boat to Con Dao Island will takeabout four hours. Or, visitors can save time by taking a flight from HCMCity to Vung Tau city, which will take an hour.-VNA
