Cong Dam Area

With breathtaking scenery that combines the magnificent mountains and glorious sea, the Cong Dam area is known as the ‘outdoor geological museum.’  It has been preserved for 340 million years and is now a regional park of mountains formed from rocks that have stood the test of time. One of the many highlights of the area is a quaint fishing village floating on the water. The locals are as beautiful as the surrounding backdrop and they are more than eager to share their traditions and legends with tourists. The village, which has a population of approximately 120 people, has retained its traditional fishing culture. Tourists visit Cong Dam to chat with the friendly locals, hear their stories and sit in awe of their daily trials and triumphs on halong bay junk cruise. They speak of their livelihoods and their families and the local women will even take you on a personal bamboo boat tour along the water to explore the magnificent mountains and quaint little homes along the way. As a visitor on Halong bay junk cruise, you can get a real sense of what it’s like to actually live here. You can participate in many activities such as rowing boats and kayaking to discover the hidden caves and explore the beautiful beaches. Of course you really should try your hand at fishing or help the locals plant mangrove trees to preserve the environment. Few tourists visit the Cong Dam area so it’s not as busy as Halong Bay, but it is truly something to be experienced. There are several beautiful coral reefs with underground lakes that travel through limestone caves within the mountains. There are many beautiful beaches with smooth white sand and clear crystal waters, such as Tra Gioi, Cay Bang and Cat Oan. Take a tour of Cong Dam and see unspoiled landscape, as mother nature intended.
