Established in 2004, Da Nang’s Tho Quang fishing wharf is now the largest of its kind in Central Viet Nam. Covering about 25 ha of land and 55 ha of water surface, the venue is able to accommodate up to 800 vessels of between 22CV and 600CV from central regional localities.
At around 3:00 am on normal days, many seafood traders are very busy buying fresh seafood from offshore ships, whilst fishermen are making preparations for their next trips in the hope of successful catches. All of them creates the bustling atmosphere at the wharf which also offers safe shelters from storms for central regional vessels.
The Tho Quang fishing wharf is a storm shelter for thousands of fishing vessels.
