Cồn Quy — Attraction in Xã Quới Sơn

This island is a complete tourist trap, used by all tour agencies to bring visitors through a staged “traditional Vietnamese village” experience—designed entirely to make you spend money and give tips.

The tour follows a strict path: first, you stop for a quick demonstration of coconut candy making, followed by a 15-minute sales pitch about how cheap they are and why you should buy multiple packages.

You’ll briefly see a beekeeper, taste a tiny sample of honey, and then the guide will tell you it’s the best natural honey, urging you to buy multiple jars: “Buy five, get one free!”

Cồn Quy (Quy Islet) is a charming and peaceful stop in the Mekong Delta, perfect for those looking to experience the region’s natural beauty and local culture.
