Vung Vieng Floating Village

Vung Vieng Floating Village is a traditional fishing village located in Bai Tu Long Bay, Van Don District, Quang Ninh Province, northeast Vietnam, within the Ha Long Bay World Heritage area. Accessible only by boat, it consists of floating houses and rafts where fishing families live and work. Notable for its sheltered bay setting among limestone karsts, bamboo boat experiences, and preservation of traditional fishing culture, it offers insight into long-standing maritime livelihoods.

Visitors arrive by cruise or tender boat and transfer to small bamboo boats rowed by local residents to explore the village. They can see floating wooden houses, fish farming rafts, nets and anchored boats in calm waters surrounded by limestone karsts. A floating cultural center displays fishing tools and exhibits on daily life. The visit is quiet and low-impact, focused on observing local livelihoods, photography, and short rowing tours through the village waterways.
