Separated from Binh Son District in 1992 – Ly Son is the only island district of Quang Ngai province. About far 30 kilometers from the mainland, the remaining vestige of the 5–mouth volcano was formed 30 million of years ago.

Previously, Ly Son was named after “Re” island. Everybody called it as Re island because this was a place a lot of creepers grow and develop. At present, the island is famous for enthralling beautiful beaches. This is a place visited by a large number of youngsters having passion in tourism. Everybody travels to Ly Son together to find the most relaxable moments by the blue beach with yellow sands, watch the huge and romantic landscape look like the paradise.
