In the lagoon, near the western shore, there is a small mountain. On it, there is a small temple built by fishermen to worship the water god. The shape of the mountain resembles an ancient tower, called Thay Boi Tower . Dawn breaks, fishing boats begin to cast their nets on the lagoon in the misty mist, as beautiful as a fairyland.
