Discover Lan Ha bay

The bay in Hai Phong City covers an area of over 7,000 hectares, surrounding the Cat Ba Archipelago and adjacent to world-famous Ha Long Bay.

Sunlight seeps through thick clouds over green limestone islands that dot the bay. A member of the World’s Most Beautiful Bays Club (MBBW), Lan Ha has 400 big and small islands.

Adding to the Lan Ha Bay spectacle is the Cai Beo floating village, located in the middle of a limestone valley. This is one of the largest such villages in the country, with 300 households living on floating homes, living off aquaculture and fishing.

Visit Cai Beo village

Cai Beo Village bathes in the glow of the morning sun.

Canoeing, kayaking, swimming and snorkeling are popular services offered by the bay.

Visiting and spending time in Cai Beo, getting to know the locals, their way of life and the history of the village is an experience to remember.

According to a study by the Vietnam Institute of Archeology, Cai Beo is the most important coastal and island archaeological site currently in the northeast of Vietnam. People in the area used to live off catching fish and oysters about 7,000 years ago.

The emerald and jade green hues of the bay make it an exquisite work of art by nature. Several caves add a sense of mystery.

A tour of Lan Ha Bay should include the Luon Cave, the Cai Beo fishing village, the Viet Hai fishing village, Nam Cat Island, Monkey Island, Van Boi Beach and Chuong Island.

When night falls, visitors can put their feet up and enjoy a great meal of grilled otter clam, salted roasted crab or poached lobster with a glass or two of wine.
