Whale drifted ashore in Da Nang .

The whale, about 3-4 meters long, with a dark gray body and a white belly, drifted ashore at Lien Chieu beach, Nguyen Tat Thanh street. Many local people came to this area to burn incense according to the custom of coastal fishermen, showing respect to the "whale", the god considered the protector of fishermen at sea.

Border guards and local authorities were present at the scene, cordoning off the coastal area to ensure safety and order. The initial cause was determined to be the impact of heavy rains and high waves in recent days, causing the fish to drift ashore.

Lien Chieu ward authorities are actively coordinating with relevant agencies and elders to carry out whale burial rituals and burials according to local customs, and implement environmental sanitation measures.
