Tam Giang Lagoon
Tam Giang Laguna makes a scenic day-trip destination while you’re in Hue, and is one of the top fishing destinations in Vietnam. It’s also the largest freshwater lake in Vietnam. While you’re on the lake, you’ll be surrounded by mountains and rice fields. To see these tranquil environs at their best, visit the lake at sunrise or sunset.
More about Tam Giang Lagoon
Tam Giang translates to “three rivers.” This confluence flows from here into the East Sea, and provides an especially biodiverse body of water. Fish and shrimp are abundant here, as well as clams and oysters. The lake supplies tons of seafood as well as pearls, which are cultivated at lakeside farms.
The nearby village of Ngu My Thanh hosts a traditional floating market near the lakeshore, where you can see the freshest catches, especially if you get there early in the morning. Fishermen spend all night on the lake, and then arrive at the market at 6:00 AM. Bamboo fences that help marshal the fish into the traps crisscross the lakes. If you want to try your hand at fishing, it’s possible to arrange a fishing tour with a local guide.
We believe travel is more than ticking destinations off a list – it’s about discovering new places deeply, feeling connected wherever you go, and knowing you have a trusted team behind you every step of the way.
