Ha Long Bay Floating Villages, Vietnam

Rather than living next to the water, the inhabitants of the Ha Long Bay fishing villages live on the water in floating houses. They make a living off the sea as well, with most people working as fishermen or shrimp farmers. Tourism is also now an important part of the villages' economy, and there is even the floating Cua Van Floating Cultural Center, which showcases the villages' lifestyle and history.
