Tung Sau Pearl Farm - Ha Long Bay

Tung Sau Pearl Farm is the unique pearl farm in Ha Long Bay, established in 1995 by a Japanese company. The farm is located in a secluded bay surrounded by stunning limestone islands. It covers 30 hectares and has over 3,000 cages for growing cultured saltwater pearls.
The ship excursion on Halong Bay becomes more intriguing with the activity of visiting the Pearl Farm in the bay.
At the Tung Sau Pearl Farm, visitors can watch the whole painstaking process, from feeding and raising the oysters in underwater cages to harvesting the valuable seawater pearls, taking them out, polishing them, and making them into jewelry. In the processing room, you can see how the workers open and insert a tiny graft that will eventually grow into a Mother of Pearl. Then, watch the amazing skill of the artisan craftsmen as they take the original raw pearls and using traditional techniques and tools, transform them into perfect and extremely valuable pearls
