The Tam Giang - Cau Hai Lagoon area is considered an ideal place to experience part of the beautiful scenery and life on the river.

Tam Giang - Cau Hai Lagoon is the largest and most abundant brackish water ecosystem in Southeast Asia with a total water surface area of about 216 square kilometres; it can take many years to explore all of it. Many tours advertise the sunset over the lagoon as the most beautiful. Someone said, the sunrise in the area is the best.

Shimmering beauty of Cau Hai Lagoon

The last moment of the day in Cau Hai Lagoon.


In the early morning, even though it was summer, fog still hovered over the water. The shadow of the boat loomed. In the distance are undulating mountains. The scene appears like an ink painting. Although the sun has not yet risen, the boats are already busy.

The sky gradually brightens. The entire space of the sky, clouds, and water turns orange-pink, signalling that the sun is about to shine.

The red sun brings light and warmth spreading throughout a vast river, clearly illuminating the huts and the "forest" of fish and shrimp cages of fishermen.

The sun rises high, its golden like pouring like honey. However, the air is still cool, fresh, and not sultry.

Tu Hien Sea Gate was formerly known as Tu Dung Gate, associated with a beautiful legend about Princess Huyen Tran. It has a gentle beach and smooth, unspoiled sands.

Seashells and small snails are scattered on the coast of Tu Hien. As the place where the river mouth flows into the sea with mountains and villages, Cau Hai Lagoon - Tu Hien Estuary has a lot of potential for developing eco-tourism.
