Cua Van fishing village in northern Vietnam has been picked among the top 16 best coastal towns in the world by US travel magazine Travel + Leisure, the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism said Thursday on its website.
“Located in Vietnam’s dramatic Ha Long Bay, with lush mountains as a
backdrop, this little village is completely composed of floating homes,”
Travel + Leisure said about the Vietnamese town.
“About 700 people (traditionally fishermen) live in anchored
houseboats, with kids attending a floating school. Cua Van has become a
popular tourist attraction, as visitors want to see this unusual way of
life for themselves,” it added.
Cua Van fishing village is situated in Ha Long City – Quang Ninh’s
capital – and is surrounded by mountains and a verdant landscape. The
residents' main income source is fishing, and they live in floating
houses.
