Thoi Loi Crater
Núi Thới Lới
The highest dormant volcano on Ly Son Island. A lake fills its crater, and the flagpole at the summit overlooks the whole island and its garlic fields.
Thoi Loi Mountain rises about 170 meters and is the largest volcanic cone on the island. Its crater has been turned into a reservoir lake, surrounded by grassy slopes and small woodland. You can ride a motorbike along the road to near the summit, where a flagpole stands. From there the view looks down on checkerboard garlic fields, villages and the sea. Many people come to watch the sunrise. There is no shade on the mountain, so it gets very hot during the day, so bring water and a hat. It is about a 15-minute bike ride from the town center.
