Con Dao history
Con Dao is an archipelago located off the coast of Southern Vietnam and is also a district-level administrative unit under Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, Vietnam.
The archipelago is 97 nautical miles from Vung Tau city by sea. The closest place to Con Dao on the mainland is Vinh Hai commune, Vinh Chau town, Soc Trang province, 40 nautical miles away. Con Dao was once known as the largest place of detention and exile of prisoners in Indochina before 1975.
In the past, it was once known as a hell on earth, a place where the history of a period of national struggle that was both heroic and tragic still left its mark on this land.
How to get Con Dao
Airplane: Currently, Con Dao has Con Son airport serving domestic flights from two locations: Saigon and Can Tho, with no flights from Hanoi. Airfare from Saigon to Con Dao is about 1,000,000 VND/way and ticket price from Can Tho - Con Dao is about 750,000 VND/way.
Ship: You can also choose the ship as a means of transportation to Con Dao with ticket prices ranging from 200,000 - 300,000 VND. However, you should consider carefully because the cruise time is quite long (about 11 - 12 hours) and for those who suffer from seasickness, traveling by ship for such a long time will be quite tiring.
