A visit to Tam Giang - Cau Hai
HNN.VN - Spanning a total water surface area of more than 210 km², Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon system,consisting of three main lagoons: Tam Giang, Thuy Tu, and Cau Hai, is often praised as a natural masterpiece bestowed upon Hue. The Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon system connects to the East Sea via the Thuan An inlet (Tam Giang lagoon) and the Tu Hien inlet (Cau Hai lagoon). It is the largest brackish lagoon system in Vietnam as well as all of Southeast Asia with an incredibly rich and diverse ecosystem.
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.
