• Cua Dai Bridge - Cross the Cua Dai Bridge to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view where the river meets the sea, one of the region’s most picturesque locations. From the bridge’s summit, observe the daily activities of local fishermen: small wooden boats returning from early morning sea trips, nets being hauled in, and baskets brimming with fresh seafood being brought ashore. The guide will explain the various fishing techniques used here, from traditional cast nets to long-tail boats, and introduce the diverse fish and seafood thriving in these coastal waters. It’s an ideal moment to pause, breathe in the fresh sea air, and capture stunning photos of the vibrant river life below.
• Duy Hai - An Lương Fish Market – Duy Hải (Authentic Coastal Fishing Village). Next, visit An Lương Fish Market in Duy Hải, one of the most genuine coastal markets where local fishermen and vendors gather at dawn to trade the day’s catch. Unlike tourist-focused markets, this is a true working environment where you can witness the raw energy of a traditional fishing community. Observe piles of freshly caught anchovies, mackerel, squid, shrimp, and crabs displayed on bamboo baskets. Fishermen expertly sort, clean, and weigh the seafood while buyers, mainly restaurant owners and local families, negotiate prices in a lively and friendly atmosphere.
• Tra Nhieu Fishing Village - Rice Wine Making. Visit a family-run rice wine making house to discover the complete traditional process behind one of Vietnam’s oldest alcoholic beverages. See how steamed rice is mixed with natural yeast, placed into clay jars, and slowly fermented over several days to develop its unique aroma. The owner will demonstrate how the fermented rice is heated in small copper stills and how the condensed steam transforms into clear, strong rice liquor. Experience the aroma of freshly fermented grains, learn about the different alcohol levels, and understand why every countryside family keeps a bottle of homemade rice wine for celebrations, ceremonies, and gatherings. If desired, taste a small sample to appreciate the warmth and character of this handcrafted spirit.

Traditional Sleeping Mat Weaving (Hand-woven Mat House). Finally, visit a traditional mat-weaving family to see how colorful Vietnamese sleeping mats are made.

• Kim Bong Carpentry Village - Rice Paper & Local Noodle Making (Traditional Craft Village). Visit a local workshop where families have been crafting rice paper and noodles for generations. Watch as rice is soaked, ground into a silky batter, then spread thinly over steaming cloth to create the famous Vietnamese rice paper used for spring rolls. After drying the sheets under the sun, they are cut into noodles, forming the base of many iconic dishes like cao lầu, phở khô, and mỳ Quảng.
