Departing from Hue, we hit the road towards Hoi An. We make a stop at the foot of the Hai Van Pass, in the beautiful Lang Co lagoon, where we meet a fishing family who has been living by the lagoon for nearly 50 years. This family also owns a large oyster and mussel farming estate.
Next, we board a local boat to explore this enchanting place nestled between mountains and the sea. The lagoon offers an idyllic panorama with its crystal-clear water surrounded by jungle-covered peaks, marking the border with Bach Ma National Park and the Annamite Range. The area is clean, free from factories, and is home to numerous crabs, snappers, groupers, and shrimp.
We make a stop at a stilted hut above the water to observe the fishing techniques practiced by the lagoon's inhabitants. Then, we continue by boat to visit their oyster farms.

Well executed Central Vietnam Trip
It was amazing! Somehow we found this tour on the Auasia Travel website and booked it immediately as impressed by its interesting itinerary. There's no doubt that we love Hoi An, Lang Co, Da Nang and highlight was the zipline in Hue and the motorbike trip through Hai Van Pass most. We still had a lot of fun. Thanks to Auasia Travel for a super fun trip! -
