The "Van" (swastika) refers to the people of ten thousand fishermen. In Cua Van floating fishing village, there are more than 300 households living mainly through fishing. The households here build raft houses along the edge of the rocky islands. The fishing village is located far from the shore, sometimes tens of kilometers away on the cliffs like valleys on the sea.

There, raft houses are adjacent to each other, small and pretty. There is no noisy car horn like on the shore, only the sound of fishermen calling to each other, the sound of beams knocking on the side of the boat chasing fish behind the mountain. Generations of fishermen have lived on boats all their lives and are attached to the sea. They consider the boat as their home, the sea as their homeland, and are attached to Ha Long Bay.
