Traditional Vietnamese Fishing Boats in Lang Co Bay – Life on the Water

🌊 A Quiet Morning in Lang Co Bay: Where Fishing Is a Way of Life

In the soft morning light, small wooden boats glide slowly across Lang Co Bay in central Vietnam. There are no roaring engines here — just paddles, soft ripples, and the quiet presence of men who know these waters like the lines on their hands.

These are traditional fishermen, checking their handmade nets and crab traps, scattered like quiet markers across the glassy sea. Filmed in cinematic 4K with the DJI Avata FPV drone, this view offers a rare, respectful look into a rhythm of life that has lasted generations.


🇻🇳 Fishing as Tradition, Not Just Work

For many coastal families in Thua Thien Hue Province, fishing is more than survival — it’s tradition. Passed from father to son, these techniques have barely changed over decades:

  • Wooden boats carved by hand

  • Nets hand-repaired at home

  • Fish traps checked with nothing but paddle and patience

The sea feeds the village, and in return, it’s treated with quiet respect. This video is a tribute to that balance.


🎥 Behind the Scenes: Filming Lang Co Bay by Drone

This peaceful short film was captured using the DJI Avata FPV drone — allowing for smooth, close tracking of the boats without disturbing the fishermen. From above, the bay unfolds as a series of soft movements and thoughtful gestures — oars dipping into water, a trap gently hauled aboard, a look toward the horizon.
