Cua Van has been voted as one of the most beautiful fishing villages in the world. It has become a popular tourist spot in Quang Ninh.
In 2017, Ha Long Bay’s management board restored the village. However, since then, the village has not been repaired or upgraded, leading to its deterioration.
The weathering of nature and lack of human care means the floating houses in Cua Van are gradually becoming ghost houses.
"The structural frameworks of floating houses on the village are being corroded by seawater, leaving the iron and steel completely exposed.
The buoyancy system has been damaged, causing many houses left half-submerged.
A classroom in the village is struggling with dilapidation.
Visitors are banned from going into the deteriorated area of the village.
