Tan Thanh Beach Community TourismThis is a real fishing village, not a manufactured tourist destination. This means you'll get a chance to experience the authentic way of life for the local people. You might see them going about their daily routines, mending nets, preparing boats, or selling their catch. Sampan Rides: Cua Khe boasts a 4.5 km coastline, and sampan rides are a popular activity for tourists [4]. These traditional wooden boats are a quintessential part of Vietnamese fishing culture, and a ride on a sampan offers a unique perspective of the village and coastline. Cua Khe has a cooperative specifically focused on community-based tourism which is on giving visitors an immersive experience that respects the local culture and way of life. Your tourist dollars are likely to go directly to the people who live there. It might not have the same level of amenities or infrastructure as a more established destination.

The banyan tree (Ficus superba var. japonica Miq.), locally known as “cây đa Xóm Chùa”, rises proudly to a height of over 15 meters, with a massive canopy that provides shade to an entire gathering space below. Its trunk—over 4.3 meters in diameter—bears witness to centuries of natural and human history. Once located next to a village pagoda (hence the name “Xóm Chùa” or “Pagoda Hamlet”), the tree has long been a spiritual and cultural anchor in the lives of villagers. During wartime, the hollow of the tree offered shelter to local resistance fighters. Though the banyan was targeted with explosives, it survived and grew stronger, becoming a symbol of perseverance for generations. Today, the banyan tree remains a cherished part of the village’s daily life. Children play in its shade, elders gather to rest and share stories, and community rituals occasionally take place nearby. Empowering local communities, preserving cultural identity, and respecting natural heritage.
