Visit Vung Vieng - a peaceful fishing village in the middle of Ha Long Bay
07/10/2019
Vung Vieng fishing village is located among thousands of poetic islands in Ha Long Bay, bearing the mark of fishermen who spend all year at sea. There, visitors can immerse themselves in nature, forget their daily worries and find simplicity and peace.
Vung Vieng fishing village - the name sounds strange. When asked, we learned that the fishing village used to be called Vong Vieng. Every time it was time to cook lunch, because the big waves at sea made the rice pot sway, the pot lid popped off, so the residents often jokingly called it "Vung Venh", and later people gradually changed the name and the name Vung Vieng was born from that.
At first, the fishing village was just a small anchorage for boats to stop and avoid wind and storms. The bay's surface was as rippled as the autumn lake, beautiful in every season. Fishermen chose this place as a settlement, with about 60 households making a living from just a few small fishing boats, casting nets to catch some types of fish floating around the bay. The people here are simple, rustic and honest, day by day passing peacefully, quietly like the gentle waves, embraced by the gentleness of the vast nature. And now, households have been evacuated to shore for the convenience of their children going to school and taking care of their health, and also for the convenience of environmental landscape protection.
To visit Vung Vieng fishing village, you can use a bamboo boat or Kayak. Sitting on a bamboo boat, you can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay and listen to the interesting stories shared by the boatman. And rowing a kayak, you will feel like you are conquering and exploring nature. The limestone mountains are covered in a vast green color reflecting on the blue water. The brilliant golden rays of sunlight have the opportunity to show off their shimmering beauty under the clouds and waves. Looking at the poetic and romantic scenery, people are also filled with many emotions and feel more love for life.
In particular, exploring Ha Long Bay, enjoying the majestic nature and visiting the peaceful fishing village of Vung Vieng by Starlight Cruise is the best thing that every tourist should experience at least once.
