The Beauty Nestling Beside Lang Co Bay

Lap An circled by a magnificent and tremendous Bach Ma mountain hides next to a beautiful and luxurious Lang Co. Here, a small path curving the mountain foot is like a soft and graceful string of silk. It appears like the burnished hair of the beauty Lang Co falling to her shoulders. Notably, in sunny days, Lap An is shone by sparkling sunlight, looks like a giant mirror reflecting the sunshine. This mirror also reflects glittering landscapes and an alluring Hue.

The most special thing in Lap An Lagoon is revealed when the tide goes down. At that time, the lagoon lines a white path dotted with lovely shells (it is so-called an extended sandbank). Poetic and picturesque landscape coupled with this charming “strange” path makes Lap An more attractive. Similar to other places, Lap An allures people at first sight by its most beautiful moment from dusk to dawn. At the moment of transferring from day to night, the water surface seemingly becomes the “barrier” of light and dark that matches up and is faded away.

Local People’s Life

Tourists can feel the serenity of life in Lap An Lagoon when experiencing and exploring the sea culture of this place. Seemingly the breathtaking pastoral scenery and various sea species are “the heavenly gift” from Nature Mother giving to Lap An lagoon. Walking through old fishing villages, tourists may immerse themselves in a peaceful and simple life of local people with fresh air. The sun shines all the lagoon and the fishing village becomes busier  with working, which is a marvellous feeling like you have just walked from the heaven on earth. Perhaps, the pictures of fishers with friendly smiles, spreading the net to catch fish or coming back with fishing boats full of fish, oysters are always in mind.
