Here is what sights can be visited on the beautiful Vietnamese Island of Kondao.
Former Puh Hai Prison (Phu Hai Prison)
Monument of the terrible French occupation with candy blood with exhibits and paintings in the inhuman appeal of Vietnamese prisoners. In some chambers, mannequins depicting prisoners are installed in those positions in which they, in fact, spent most of the time - it looks terribly!
It is the oldest camp on the island, and at least now the museum is still frightening and anxious place. Inside the construction - built in the 60s of the last century, the temple (it is built for prisoners and local residents).
Address: Nguyen Hue Street.
PCU Prison Camp (Phu Son Camp)
Immediately next to the prison of the Puhi High, there is a Camp of the PCU Sleep, which has a similar structure, but there are more individual rooms, unlike the Large prison halls of the Puhi High. Inside the shameful "cells for tigers" (Tiger Cages), the prisoners were charged into the shackles, and the guards were tortured from above, over the lattices with long bamboo sticks and throwing chemicals through the rods. Witness of terrible amoral action is another popular museum.
Address: Nguyen Hue Street.
Camp Puh Bin (Phu Binh Camp)
Famous today is more like "Tiger Prison", this camp was originally called camp number 7 (Camp 7) to the Paris Agreement. Camp with 9630 prison chambers and 504 cells, Puh bin is a rather gloomy and sad place.
Address: CO ONG Street
Camp Puh An (Phu An Camp)
Earlier known as Camp number 6 (Camp 6) to the Paris Agreement, this museum will tell more about the alarming history of war and patriotism. A relatively small camp, with ten cameras in two rows and four cells, they say, observed just one of the most cruel moments.
Address: Nguyen Van Cu Street.
Revolution Museum (Revolutionary Museum)
If you are going to visit the terrible former prisons of the island, then visit this museum. And better before prisons to delve into the essence of the case, because this museum is a valuable source of reference information. In addition to the blood-freeing stories of imperialist conquests and resistance, you look at a row of photos that allow you to map images with names and facts. On the other side of the street, opposite the museum, there is a pleasant cafe overlooking the sea.
Address: Ton Duc Thang Street.
Conda National Park (Con Dao National Park)
Nature is one of the main attractions of the archipelago, and the National Park is the natural and most visited open-air museum. Unfortunately, in the park, as a rule, there are too many tourists, and it does not quite positively affect the safety of the park. The treatment of unique nature here sometimes blatantly unacceptable! But the places are beautiful, and even more beautiful local sunsets - it is definitely worth a walk and climb on the observation platform to enjoy the views of the area. In the Park Information Center, you can get information about pleasure trails and booklets.
Pagoda Wang Son (Van Son Pagoda)
This new Pagoda Wang Son is built in the winter of 2011. Built on the site of the old Pagoda Wang Son, built in 1964 by the forces of one of the warlords. The old temple was built for more than two years, in view of the fact that many materials had to be ordered from the mainland. Moreover, from the central region, for example from the city of Hue. Once in the temple stood a large statue of the Buddha, almost one and a half meters high, but she disappeared in about the 1980s, when the group of the French sailed to the island of the ship and plundered the island, dragging the most valuable to the history of the island of things (some of the oldest inhabitants who Still live on the island, still remember this terrible shameful moment). The historic beauty of the island was destroyed due to material benefits. Surrounded by green forests and mountains, Little Pagoda Wang Son is today is a completely pacifying and beautiful sight.
Address: next to the southern tip of Lake Ho An High, if you go along the main road Nguyễn đức Thuận, 800 south meters from the Côn đảo Sea Travel Resort and then a little right along a small path.
Dam Beach Beach (Dam Trau Beach)
The best beach island, perhaps, I will give Trau 1 kilometer from the airport. The beach is equipped and offered you rows of trays with drinks and snacks (simple and little) and lounge chairs for rest. Food shops are open from noon to sunset. The beach itself is surrounded by tropical jungle and bamboo forest. Go left along the beach and behind the huge boulders you will find another cute beach, smaller and less than the crowd. It's great to get sick on this beach with a mask, well, just to be sought and sunbathe.
Cemetery Hang Dong (Hang Duong Graveyard)
In order to honor the memory of the martyrs of the cruel past of Vietnam, visit the Cemetery of Hang Dong on the eastern outskirts of the city. Some streets in different cities of Vietnam are named after these heroes, by the way. The big pillar in the middle is decorated with inscriptions from the history of Konda. More than 20,000 Vietnamese prisoners were killed in terrible years on this island, but, unfortunately, only 700 of them are officially buried, and the tombstones wear their names. The most famous heroine of Vietnam, in TCI SAU (1933-1952) was buried here - this is the first woman on the island, which was shown.
Today, pilgrims from all over the country come to honor her memory, leave on the grave of the mirrors, combs and lipstick (symbolic gifts, because in TCI Sau died so young and did not see the joy of life). On other graves you can see fruit, as well as dishes from rice.
Address: NGUYEN AN NINH STREET.
Bay Kan (Bay CANH)
Perhaps the best interesting island in addition to the largest. It is located east of Concon, about 6 kilometers from Kondao City, and offers tourists beautiful beaches, old forests, mangroves, coral reefs and sea turtles in coastal waters. Usually, tourists are offered a two-hour walk to walk to the works of the French era on the eastern tip of the Gulf of the Bay. This is not a gentle way, the road includes a steep rise of 325 meters. But as soon as you raise at a high point, the panoramic views do not slow down impress and surprise.
