Driving north from Phan Rang - Thap Cham city, take Yen Ninh road for about 10km and you will see Tri Thuy bridge. The bridge divides Nai lagoon into two completely different areas. On the left side of the bridge is the peaceful lagoon and friendly fishing villages, while on the right side of the bridge is the bustling Nai fish market.
Lying at the foot of Hon Thien mountain, the lagoon, also known as Huong Cuu lagoon, is like a green lung for this hot, tropical land. Going there, you can freely drive around watch fishermen catching fish.
In addition to catching fish available in the lagoon, the people also invest in cages for raising shrimp, crab, oysters, snails, and fish. The image of fishermen on the pointed boats leisurely rowing around the heart of Nai lagoon starting a new day always gives visitors a sense of peace and vitality.
Besides the peaceful natural scenery, tourists also come to Nai lagoon to visit Nai fish market which is well-known for fresh seafood with affordable prices. Visitors can buy or enjoy seafood at local eateries with a variety of fresh dishes./.
