    Setting foot on this island for the first time, visitors are captivated by the clear blue sea water and admire the 200-year-old banyan tree that casts its shadow under the village communal house. This is also a “park” that shelters and relaxes the entire village.

    One special thing is that there is no trash in Bich Dam fishing village. The awareness of preserving the environment and limiting plastic waste is highly respected by the people here. The islanders are also the guardians of the Hon Mun Marine Reserve, and no one engages in destructive fishing. These are also the factors that make Bich Dam have the necessary conditions to develop community tourism with cultural identity and awareness of the people in protecting the sea.
