In the midst of jungles and covered by high mountain range of the Cat Ba National Park, Viet Hai Village has around 80 households. The villagers are natives in Halong Bay and their ancestors had lived there since hundreds of years ago self-sufficiently by fishing, farming and breeding. Oblivious or indifferent to modern world, Viet Hai Villagers still live in simple houses built from bamboo, wood, leaves and soil. The house open throughout the day, nobody steals furniture so that the village had only two guards. Viet Hai is almost clear with all kinds of social evils.
