1 - Cai Beo fishing village
Cai Beo fishing village (also known as Vung O fishing village, in Cat Ba
archipelago, Cat Hai island district,
Lan Ha bay) is one of the largest ancient floating
villages in the country in prehistoric times, with about 300 households
living. The life of the inhabitants of Cai Beo fishing village is associated
with fishing activities and cage farming in the bay, mainly fish types:
lentils, pangasius, persimmons, scorpions, and peas.
The fishing village consists of many houseboats linked together into groups.
Not only boats, on Cai Beo Bay there are also floating houses that are
closely linked by fish cages. From one house can easily step to another on a
small bridge across or on cages. The boat is both a means of livelihood for
the people here and a home. People here travel, exchange, buy and sell
everything from fishing nets to daily necessities, even children going to
school and going out by a single means of boat. The children of the fishing
village therefore became bolder to adapt to life year-round on the river.
When the weather is calm, the sea is calm, the fishermen anchor their boats,
cast their nets, drop their fishing lines, and catch fish and shrimp. When
the sea is rough and the waves are big, they enter the bay, return to the
mainland and wait for a peaceful time to go out to sea. This economic
activity not only helps the inhabitants of the fishing village to have a
full life, but also creates a unique beauty of life on Ben Beo Bay -
