The best time to visit is between 4 and 4:30 in the morning to see the sunrise. Chuon Lagoon is distinguished by its immensity; an aquaculture technique known as the flute barrier system splits the water's surface into fields, which are dotted with a few tiny boats and fishermen's houses.

The entire lagoon region is covered in a hazy mist before the sun rises. As the sun fully emerged, the eastern horizon gradually transitioned from pink-purple to orange, then from orange to a magnificent crimson.

Visitors who want to truly appreciate this great moment and enjoy the early marketplaces might ask the locals to hire them a boat to visit. For those who love to explore, simply walking around on the boat in the morning, feeling the cool water on their skin, and taking in the first moments of the day will be a wonderful experience.
