Making a living on Tri An Lake

Nature has favored the development of abundant aquatic resources in Tri An Lake. Since then, many people from all over the country have gathered here to live and have been involved in the fishing industry for several decades.

Fishing is a very hard job because fishermen have to stand in the sun and rain offshore and soak in cold water for hours. Especially in the rainy season, Tri An Lake often has big waves and strong winds, making fishing difficult and dangerous. However, many fishermen living on Tri An Lake still choose to stay here to make a living because this profession has helped them have stable jobs and a secure life.
