🌅 Sunset to Sea: Vietnam’s Night Fishing Ritual in Lang Co Bay

As day turns to dusk, a small wooden boat glides through the still waters of Lang Co Bay, Vietnam. Aboard are a few local fishermen — quiet, steady, focused. Their nets are coiled, their gear ready. They’re heading out into deeper waters, as generations have before them, to chase the night’s catch beneath a sky shifting from orange to deep indigo.

Captured in 4K cinematic footage by the DJI Avata FPV drone, this film offers a breathtaking aerial view of Vietnam’s coastal life at its most honest — where every trip to sea is a blend of experience, instinct, and quiet hope.

🇻🇳 Fishermen of Lang Co: A Way of Life, Not a Job

Along Vietnam’s central coast, fishing isn’t just work — it’s identity. Families in Thua Thien Hue Province have relied on these waters for centuries, practicing low-impact fishing methods that keep them closely in tune with nature:

Wooden boats carved by hand
Lanterns and lamps for nighttime visibility
Hand-cast nets and traps passed down through generations

There are no giant engines, no commercial fleets here. Just craftsmanship, patience, and tradition.

🎥 Filming the Magic: 4K FPV Drone View

This film was shot with the DJI Avata FPV, flying low and close over the water, tracking the boat from overhead without disturbing the peace. From these angles, you can truly appreciate the scale and simplicity of the scene:
