Tam Tien fishing village (Tam Xuan commune, Da Nang city) is an ideal destination to experience fishermen's life and enjoy the breath of the sea. The air is so fresh that with just a deep breath, you will feel the relaxation, dispelling the fatigue of the city.
Tourists should start the journey to explore the fish market from about 3-4 am. When it is still dark, the beach has begun to be bustling with flashlights, flashlights and voices calling out to each other in a hurry. All are ready for an early market.
When the dawn of winter has just dawned, dyeing a corner of the sky orange-pink, it is also when hundreds of boats line up to dock. People row basket boats, people carry basket boats, people are busy sorting fresh seafood right on the fine sand.
The fish market only opened for sale for about 2 hours. By more than 6 am, the beach gradually returned to its peaceful appearance after the batches of fish had been transported throughout the regions.
Tourists can immediately choose fresh seafood batches to enjoy on the spot. Just bring fish and shrimp to small coastal huts, people will help you prepare them into savory dishes. Tam Tien seafood, from shrimp, crabs to all kinds of fish, is famous for its freshness, because as soon as they leave the net, they are immediately on the dining table.
Holding in your hand a plate of crispy crispy shrimp banh xeo or a bowl of sweet squid vermicelli, while eating and watching the sea waves soothe you, you will feel the interestingness of the fishing village life.
Mr. Nguyen Sanh Quoc Huy, a photographer from Hanoi, confided about the change of this place: "Returning to Tam Tien this time, I feel the pristine beauty of the fish market is gradually disappearing due to the appearance of a new embankment right on the beach. I understand that the embankment can help the work of fishermen become easier and more convenient than before".
Today, the fishing village has some unique homestays and camping areas serving visitors and staying overnight. Most homestays are renovated from the simple, mossy houses of fishermen, nestled peacefully under the green coconut trees.
