Making a living on Tri An Lake

The favorable natural conditions have resulted in a rich and abundant supply of aquatic resources in Tri An Lake. As a result, many people from all over the country have settled here and have been involved in fishing for several decades.

Fishing is an extremely arduous job because fishermen have to endure the sun and rain offshore and spend hours immersed in cold water. Especially during the rainy season, the waters around Tri An Lake are often rough with strong winds and high waves, making fishing difficult and dangerous. However, many fishermen living on Tri An Lake still choose to make a living from this profession because it provides them with stable employment and a secure livelihood.
