Sitting on a bamboo boat to experience Van Long lagoon, in Gia Van commune, Gia Vien district, amidst picturesque scenery, tourists seem to be immersed in the beautiful nature. Besides, the clear water in the lagoon brings tourists a fresh feeling.

It is also wonderful to row the boat in the afternoon, watching the sun hiding out gradually behind high rocky mounts. When the sun sets, the high mounts reflect back into the water that looks like a big shinning mirror. It is also the time for birds to fly back to their nets. At this moment, tourists can watch a typical painting of the wetland with flocks of white storks leisurely flying in the sky and then landed down on valleys for food.
