Long gone are the days of the old folk verse “Thương em anh cũng muốn vô/Sợ truông nhà Hồ, sợ phá Tam Giang…” (“I long to be with you, my love / But I fear Ho's moor and Tam Giang lagoon...”). Today, what remains is the dreamy, romantic beauty of sunrises and sunsets shimmering across the water’s surface, the silhouettes of small fishing boats, peaceful fishing villages by the lagoons, and the gentle, tranquil lives that ebb and flow with the tides... These scenes have become an endless source of inspiration for photographers and travel enthusiasts alike.

In this spirit of emotion and connection, Hue Today Weekly is pleased to present to readers a series of simple yet heartfelt photographs by Hoang Phuoc – a photographer, who captured cherished moments from every corner of Tam Giang - Cau Hai.
