Tho Quang - The Fishing Wharf lies on its side and listens to the rhythm of the city's life

Hello everyone! Wishing everyone a new week full of luck and joy in life. How are you today? I think you had a wonderful weekend with your family. Today is the first Monday of the week, a new week with new joys. The past few days have been a wonderful time for me. I have been to many places in my city and on those trips, I have taken a lot of beautiful photos. On winter days, the weather is sometimes not so good, the winter drizzle, which puts my camera and camera lenses in constant danger. There are also days when the weather is very nice, although it is rare in winter. My photography sessions usually have a certain theme. One subject will be photographed in different places. During a photography session, I took a very interesting place, which I would like to introduce to everyone, in my today's post.

The place that I introduce today, is not a famous tourist destination, or a certain museum like my previous posts. That place is a fishing wharf in the sea, located at the foot of Son Tra mountain. As everyone knows, Da Nang is one of the coastal tourist cities, where there are many long coastlines. Next to the long coastlines are large fishing ports, which are busy trading in the early morning. Da Nang has a lot of fishing wharves, usually concentrated in an area by the sea. There are big fishing wharves, there are also small fishing wharves. Usually, small fishing wharves will be sold in odd quantities, for people to enjoy. The small fishing wharf in today's article, located 8km east of Da Nang city center, is located on Hoang Sa road. This is my familiar road, every time I explore the tourist attractions of the Son Tra peninsula. This small fishing wharf, given a name by the people, is Tho Quang fishing wharf. Because this fishing wharf is located in Tho Quang ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang city. This fishing wharf is a spontaneous fishing wharf of people. So here you will not have instruction or a notice board at all. If you want this place, I think it's also very easy to find. As long as you go to Hoang Sa beach road, you can see this place.

Tho Quang Fishing Wharf is located near a temple called Buu Dai Son, in front of this temple area is the coast of Da Nang, at 5 am this place will be very busy with fisherman's seafood trading scene. I will start with the itinerary of my trip today. Weekends are a great time for me to take pictures and compose my works and I can't wait to share them with you.

I set the alarm for 4 am, so I could be in time for this morning's photo session. In winter, getting up early is always torture for many people. I timed it with many different time frames, so I could arrive here in time before the sun rose. From my house to this fishing wharf is also very close, the distance is less than 4km. After driving for a while, I reached the fishing wharf before sunrise. The first thing that strikes me is that the sky is very beautiful today, it will be difficult to see the sunrise in winter. After parking the car on the roadside, I started walking down to the beach, where there are many beautiful coconut trees, each tree will be planted in a pair. Even the coconut tree has a couple, I don't understand why until now I am still lonely. I'm envious of these coconut trees . I purposely took a different angle of the picture, only saw a single tree, it looked so impressive with the sunrise of the sun behind the mountain.

At 4:30 am is the time when life here is happening faster than usual. Small traders selling fish, with street vendors rushing to the sea. To find yourself a good position, to be able to trade well today. When the sun has not yet risen, it is also the time when the fishing boats return, after a night of fishing at sea. These fishing boats will not be able to get close to the shore, because they can easily run aground. To bring seafood to the shore, it will be transported by fishermen by small basket boats. The main task of these boats is to bring seafood from large ships to small basket boats to transport seafood to shore.

I could observe a lot of small fish merchants, standing from below the sea. When the catches are brought ashore, they will compete with each other to buy back from the fishermen and sell them back to the people. After the small basket boats come ashore, small traders will negotiate with fishermen and buy back this seafood. The fish baskets will be divided into different types of fish, to easily sell to people.

At 5 o'clock when the sun appears the dawn behind the mountain, you will see the peaceful scenery of this place. Looking from below the sea, looking up at Son Tra mountain, you will observe the huge statue of Quan Am Buddha, which is the Buddha image in Linh Ung pagoda, which I introduced in an article last week. Under the sea are fishing boats lying close together. Looking to the fishing wharf area, fishermen are still trying to transport fish inside the shore, before sunrise.

After the sun has risen, at 6 o'clock is the time when people gather here to buy fish. Usually customers are people who go to exercise and go to the beach here. The baskets of fish will be classified again by small traders, to sell to the people. I got to know a lot of the fish they sell. The small fish are anchovies, there are also De, puffer, and scad. There are also squid and shrimp. The prices here are also very affordable, the seafood is caught the same day, so it's very fresh.

In the past, my family also had a fishing job. My grandfather is one of the best fishermen in this Son Tra area. Normally, fishing trips will be at sea for more than 1 month. By the time of my father, he was also one of the members of that boat. But since 2007, when China has always made it difficult for Vietnam's fishing grounds. There have been many large Chinese ships rammed and sunk Vietnamese fishing boats. When the fishing grounds were robbed, the number of fish was also gradually depleted. So many people have given up fishing offshore. Every morning, many people are exercising at this beach. Have you ever walked on the sea in winter? If you have ever been to the beach in winter, you will find it very interesting. In winter, if you swim here, there will be a warm stream of water below your feet, you will enjoy this when swimming here.

In addition to Tho Quang fishing wharf, Da Nang also has the largest fishing wharf. That is the fishing wharf of Man Quang Bay. There are many boats made of wood. Vietnam is one of the countries with the largest number of wooden ships in the region. The ships were built with iron shells, not trusted by the fishermen. Wooden boats will be suitable for net fishing. Iron boats, will consume more fuel than wooden ships. The cost of wooden ships is very cheap, compared to boats built with iron and steel shells. To take these photos, I used a Flycam. At the end of last year, I bought a Flycam to start working as a Cameraman. Because I'm new to Flycam, I still have a lot of limitations when it comes to controlling photography. These photos can help people observe Man Quang fishing wharf. The boats are attached, which will help reduce damage when the storm makes landfall in Da Nang. Luckily my city hasn't suffered a single storm this year. Looking from above, you can observe Tien Sa port and Son Tra mountain range.

I took my Flycam out to the Han River to practice flying, where I was able to capture Thuan Phuoc Bridge and Da Nang city. The weather in winter always changes suddenly. Early this morning the sky was very beautiful, just a few hours apart, the sky began to appear rain clouds. Outside the riverbank, I was able to capture the blue lighthouse, to get to this area, the only way to reach this place is by boat. This lighthouse will help ships enter the Tien Sa port area safely. Help the boats, navigate the way at night. This lawn is very safe for me to practice flying the Flycam.

I flew up very high to see the whole Han River. The sky wasn't pretty, as I expected. I will come back here to take these pictures. My trip to the fishing wharf this time was very successful as expected, in this article I have taken pictures of the process of fishermen here. It helps me to have a beautiful perspective on life. I am very happy to share this place with everyone. I am very happy when people give a lot of compliments to my posts in recent times. Once again I would like to thank the hive family for giving me a useful playground to learn and exchange. My post ends here. Wishing everyone a very happy new week in the life. Goodbye and see you in my next posts.
