Da Nang-based Tho Quang fishing wharf is now the largest of its kind in Central Viet Nam. When the night falls, many seafood traders start buying fresh seafood from offshore ships, whilst fishermen gear up making preparations with a rush at odd hours for their next trips in the hope of profitable catches.

Below are some stunning pictures captured by our freelancer and reporter, vividly reflecting a Da Nang bustling fishing wharf at midnight.
