Not only famous for its clear blue beaches or majestic cliffs, Phu Quy island also owns a unique structure imbued with the imprint of the coastal people. Lang Duong fish pond attracts tourists thanks to its beauty that is both pristine and ancient, different from the common sights.
This was originally a project built by local fishermen to raise fish, squid and natural seafood. Large stone blocks are stacked on top of each other to form a wall surrounding the lake. On the walls, round holes are drilled so that seawater can circulate continuously, helping aquatic products to grow, and at the same time limiting them from flowing back into the sea.
Later, when offshore fishing developed, the fish pond was gradually no longer used and became an abandoned structure in the middle of the sea. Over time, moss covered the stone walls, seawater flooded the lake, creating an impressive scene.
Seen from above, the fish pond cluster appears as an ancient structure located in the middle of the blue sea with a characteristic arc shape. Therefore, many people have compared this place to a miniature "Roman arena" on Phu Quy Island. Local people also call this place by many names such as Lang Duong fish pond, Ganh Hang dam or simply abandoned fish pond.
One of the most beautiful viewing angles of the fish pond is from the area near the Sai Nai Master's Tomb Palace. From here, visitors can bring the lens through the window of a house near the sea to capture the entire view of the fish pond and the jade green water behind. This is also a shooting angle loved by many photographers and young people when coming to Phu Quy.
The space around the fish pond stands out with clear seawater, blue moss-covered wavewalls and natural gray-brown stone layers. Each small corner can become a background for unique photos.
From the high rocky outcrops, visitors can easily capture the panoramic view of the fish pond with unique shapes in the middle of the sea. If you love close-up photos, the lakeside area with waves crashing into the stone wall is also a check-in corner chosen by many people.
Ms. Quynh Hoa (Hanoi) shared that early morning and late afternoon are the best times to check-in at Lang Duong fish pond. Gentle sunlight helps the seawater turn turquoise, highlighting the mossy stone walls. According to her, white, yellow or orange outfits will help the photo stand out more on the blue sea background.
Lang Duong fish pond is an area that is still quite pristine and potentially dangerous. The lake wall is built of stone, many sections are covered with moss, so it is quite slippery, especially when the waves are big. Visitors need to move carefully, limit climbing or standing too close to the edge of the lake to take pictures.
For families with young children or elderly people, special attention should be paid to ensuring safety during the visit. The fish pond area currently does not have standing rescue forces, visitors should not go swimming or swim around the pond to avoid unfortunate incidents.
