Viet Hai village, Cat Ba lies in the thick jungle and is covered by a high range of mountains and a winding ocean. Some call it a “Sleeping Beauty” village because of its untouched beauty when tourism is still not common here. If you want a chance to transition to a different atmospheric setting, go there for your trip to Vietnam. You may also see the priceless, still-preserved Cat Ba traditional cultural qualities here.
The little community of Viet Hai, which is 18 kilometers from Cat Ba island, is surrounded by jungle and high mountains. The town is located in the Cat Hai district of Hai Phong city, in the center of Cat Ba National Park. Tourists must start an 8-kilometer journey beyond the Ao Ech Lake to get to the settlement. Tourists will follow challenging routes after passing through the main woodland in the national park on this route. If you are not physically capable of navigating the village's towering cliffs, deep gorges, and dirty ponds, take a 45-minute boat from Cat Ba Town's Beo dock instead.
Trekking is an activity attracting many visitors who want to go there to admire the rustic beauty of this far-lung village. All you need to do is contact Vietnam package tours to prepare for you all gears that you need for the trekking tour such as shoes, clothes, and insect repellent. There is space to go through the slopes carved by the mountains. Viet Hai town appeared in the midst of the sea, encircled by trees and mountains, after around 4-5 hours of hiking through the forest and mountains. For adventure-lover tourists, passing through Cat Ba National Park and following a walking track via Viet Hai village through several high rocky slopes, caves, etc. would be a great experience.
When you cycle through a concrete road leading into the village, the road will take you cave which is covered by many big old trees and paddy fields of locals. To visit the village, you may either walk or use a tram. Booking a bicycle trip, however, is the most pleasurable option because you can pedal down the curvy, twisting route while taking in the fresh air and the lush surroundings.
The lack of access to the open spaces of nature, the sea, and the forest makes Viet Hai's night a little dull. By 10 o'clock, everyone turned out the lights. To observe the coral, you should dive in the afternoon, swim, and dine on a raft. At night, you should fish for squid from the boat.
Viet Hai's tourist industry is based on eco-tourism; most visitors are foreigners who come to explore and unwind. As a result, the area is quite calm, making it ideal for learning more about cultural practices and getting a glimpse into everyday life among the locals.
To reach Viet Hai, there are 2 routes:
