Vung Vieng Fishing Village

Vung Vieng fishing village was first established in the 19th Century as a mooring for the local fisherman, and a place where they could exchange goods. Up until a few years ago, there were somewhere in the realm of 50 families who resided in the floating village of Vung Vieng, totaling just shy of 300 residents (about 100 of which were children).

These families have dwelled here for many generations, living a modest life, relying solely on the rich marine resources of the bay. In recent times, their income was also supplemented by the steadily growing tourism industry, although the bulk of earnings still came from the fishing industry.

Perhaps at a point in the not so distant past, the residents here may have felt themselves to be in another world from the tourist attractions of Halong City, Cat Ba Island and the surrounding bay. Now, however, their very homes have become a tourist attraction in themselves.

Vung Vieng- Bai Tu Long-Halong Bay

In 2012, the management board of Halong Bay set out a directive to begin the process of moving the residents of the floating villages inland. This originally caused quite some upset for those who had been living for generations in these secluded floating homes, far away from the effect of modern society.

Despite the backlash, the board insisted that the move is for the benefit of the future generations, who will have access to a higher standard of living and proper education on the mainland.
