    Nestled at the gateway to Lan Ha Bay, Cai Beo fishing village impresses with the scene of hundreds of floating houses on the water. This is also known as one of the oldest fishing villages in Vietnam, with relics dating back thousands of years. In 2009, the village was recognized as a National Relic thanks to its outstanding historical, cultural and archaeological values. Photo: Linh Boo

    From the center of Cat Ba island, visitors only take a few minutes to reach Beo wharf. From here, you can rent a wooden boat or canoe to go to the fishing village. If traveling in a large group, visitors can rent a private boat with a price of about 1.2 - 1.5 million VND per trip. In addition, you can also choose package tours to be more convenient in the process of exploring the fishing village. Photo: Linh Boo

    Currently, about 400 - 500 households still live on floating houses in the bay, mainly by fishing and aquaculture. Hundreds of rafts follow each other to create a unique "floating city", clearly reflecting the typical life of coastal fishermen. Photo: Linh Boo

    The farming cages are made of wood combined with a floating buoy system, each cage has a fairly large area, capable of raising from 150 - 200 fingerlings. Fish species such as grouper, grouper, red snapper, catfish or goby are cared for for about 2 - 3 years before being sold, thanks to which the fish meat is firm and of high quality. Photo: Linh Boo

    Tourists can witness firsthand the process of taking care of fish, feeding fish, and chatting with people to better understand the livelihood in the open sea. Besides, kayaking through floating rafts is also an activity loved by many people. Photo: Linh Boo

    Not only sightseeing, the fishing village is also an ideal place to enjoy fresh seafood. Many rafts combine to serve food and drinks, immediately processing seafood that has just been caught or raised on the spot. Enjoying fresh seafood right on the rafts, amidst the vast sea and sky of Lan Ha Bay, is an experience that many tourists remember forever after the trip. Photo: Linh Boo

    Ms. Quynh Hoa (Hanoi), after visiting the fishing village, shared: "I chose a canoe tour of 500,000 VND/person to explore Cai Beo fishing village. As soon as I left the wharf, the canoe slowly glided through hundreds of blue and red roofed rafts floating on the water, interspersed with fish cages. The scenery was very peaceful and completely different from what I had imagined about a fishing village. " Photo: Linh Boo
