roof houses with radios, television
sets, tables and chairs, etc.

classrooms and one small room for
teachers. They are the first
floating classrooms in Hạ Long. At

rambunctious children going to
school. Their bustling calling and
their flopping rowing liven up the
atmosphere of the quite bay. Looking
at the small boats driven by tiny
oars going to school, and the
radiant faces of the children, one
feels confident in a bright future
for the fishing village.
Cua Van now has become a tourist
attraction and has been present in
the itinerary of almost all tourist
agencies. |
