The island district of Ly Son in Quang Ngai province is not only the homeland of the Hoang Sa Archipelago but also renowned as the "Kingdom of onions and garlic." These crops, known for their distinctive and delicious flavors, stand apart from similar varieties found elsewhere. In Vietnam, onions and garlic are typically grown in river deltas. However, on Ly Son Island, these plants have taken deep root in the sandy soil, thriving and becoming famous local specialties. In July, after the garlic harvest, farmers are busy preparing the land with new layers of sandy soil and volcanic soil for the winter-spring garlic crop. The local activities transform Ly Son island’s landscape from bright green to orange and white hues, donning a new colour palette for the island. VNA Photo: Xuân Quý
