VietNamNet Bridge – Not  far from Cua Dai and the ancient town of Hoi An, An Bang attracts tourists with its pristine scenery and idyllic life of a fishing village.


In contrast to the hustle of Cua Dai, An Bang is much quieter. In the afternoon, the children from the surrounding villages often flock to the coast. While waiting for their parents to return home from the sea, they gather together to fly kites, smash oyster shells or swim in the sea. 

 

 

The men in the village, both young and old, gather together after a day of working at sea. For fishing villages, the man is the main breadwinner. They all go out to sea to catch fish. The children will grow up and pursue the traditional job of their fathers.

 

 

 

A man knits fishing nets and repairs his boat after a working day at sea. This simple boat is the main source of living of local families.

 

 

 
 

These boats stay at the coast after days of floating at sea.

 

 

Bamboo frames and foam boxes are the work instruments of women in fishing villages. Day after day, they carry fish and shrimp to the market.

 

 

 
 

After a long day of work, women sit on the beach to chat. After these rare moments of relaxation, they return to their busy life and everyday worries.

 

 
 

Tourists who prefer pristine beaches should not miss An Bang. 

 

 
 

There you will see a wild coast undisturbed by humans.
