With over 120 kilometers of coastline and a vast lagoon system bestowed by nature, Hue is home to numerous attractive seafood markets, including Phu Hau Market and Ngu My Thanh Floating Market, and Vinh Hien Market… In this issue of Hue Today Weekly, we would like to take readers to the fish market of Thuan An through a series of photos taken by Duc Quang, a reporter, offering a glimpse into the vibrant daily life of a coastal fishing community.
Thuan An Ward, formed from the merger of Thuan An Ward and the two former communes of Phu Hai and Phu Thuan, is a land where the sea meets the lagoon. This unique setting has given rise to a number of bustling fish markets that remain integral to local life.
For travelers, visiting these markets will be an interesting experience during their trip to Hue. Here, the air carries not only the familiar scent of shrimp, fish, crabs, and other freshly landed seafood, but also the salty trace of sweat shed by fishermen after long hours at sea. Together, they form the unmistakable flavor of this coastal homeland, a place where the rhythms of daily life unfold in simple, peaceful beauty.
