Vung Vieng Floating Fishing Village
Once home to a thriving community of hundreds, Vung Vieng Fishing Village relied on fishing and tourism for its livelihood, with supplies brought in from the mainland, located several kilometers away. The vibrant floating homes, which have housed multiple generations, offer a glimpse into the local lifestyle.
Today, due to government policies, all residents of the floating village have moved to land to enhance children’s education and improve living standards. However, Vung Vieng still remains an intriguing attraction, providing visitors with insights into the “floating lives” that once characterized Halong Bay. This unique aspect of local culture is a significant feature of the fishing communities within this World Heritage Site.

During harvest time, the golden rice fields and sunlit areca gardens create a picturesque landscape. The village, known for its historical significance, was a stronghold during wartime and nurtured many brave heroes who sacrificed for their community.
Like other rural areas, the residents here are known for their hard work, kindness, and positivity.
