For those living near the Tam Giang Lagoon, it is common to experience several floods each year. While flood season provokes anxieties over the safety of lives and property, it also allows fishermen to increase their income because the rising water brings an abundance of economically valuable aquatic species.

For fishing enthusiasts, whenever they hear about fish bubbles, even if it's dozens of kilometers away, they’re ready to make the journey to satisfy their passion for the water.

Just about 30 kilometers away, Quang Loi Lagoon is not far from the center of Hue City. It's located in Quang Loi Commune, Quang Dien District - a low-lying area rich in cultural identity.

Following the flow of the waters, the lives of the people here are closely tied to the water as they engage in simple and humble fishing activities.
