Vung Vieng fishing village located in Bai Tu Long bay with thousands of romantic islands. Sometimes, passing three times, I naturally thought that the name Vung Vieng (the ancient name Vung warping) is ” vanderous” .
“The highest is Vung Vieng Mount
Lowest is sea, higher is sky”…
Name of village means vanderous. Because the floating village has age of more than fifty centuries, was still unspoilted by natural disasters, storms, the waves of the sea to survive, formation and development.

The friends were putting up the long wooden bar from 5 to 7m. Wood made wooden ship that works best. The timber is constructed of iron bolt. All the weight is placed on the float system with old oil drum, porous coated with waterproof tarpaulins. People call it the foundation.

Life of Vung Vieng fishing village for centuries is based on sea and benefits from the sea. The village does not have to go to the fleet of offshore fishing. The boat is small, marine resources increasingly depleted by fishing wings, destroyed the marine environment, and also natural disasters, wind storms. Big fish, big prawns new fires have been few. Several boats fanned out like te crab nets around the bay just skim floating fish as sardines , anchovy , chilli and fish painting … At the foot of the ravine , followed a few slots nets , rocks to catch the Galaxy , crabs, shrimp and small fish .
