Gentle Floating Market on Tam Giang Lagoon

When the sky is still "sleepy" there are small boats of fishermen and light traders from eight directions gathered here to buy and sell fish and shrimp. Momentarily, hundreds of boats have come together, the light bulbs forming a large bright spot sparkling on the surface of the wave rippling, peaceful and pristine.

Called Ngu My Thanh floating market, but not as crowded and diversified as the floating market in the southwest. The floating marketers are fishermen practicing fishing in Tam Giang lagoon. They rode out of the boat to the middle of the lagoon to catch from the early hours of the evening, until about 3 am the next day, sailing to the market to sell fresh fish and shrimp. Apart from the local people, the buyers here are also small traders of seafood. Those who come to the market also know each other, know their names, hometowns, each other's age so the market is full of laughter.

Quick traders buy shrimp and fish to catch the morning market in the district markets and large markets in Hue. The fishermen are quick to sell shrimp and fish products that have been caught to arrange fishing gear back home. With the money to sell fish, I call the nearby grocery stores to buy rice, cooking oil, fish sauce, sweeteners ... to serve the family members. Their life is so simple, from day to day on the water.
