Vietnam fishing village named among world’s top 16 coastal towns




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.
