In recent days, the clip Tiktok shared about the journey to conquer the road at sea has received the attention of the online community. The owner of this “million-view” clip is Tran Tan Tai (1997, Hai Phong), currently living and working in Hanoi.

Falling in love with Youtube thanks to my passion for creativity
The guy born in 1997 revealed that before coming to the job of creating content, he used to work as a software engineer in accordance with his university major. However, office work for Tan Tai is too restrictive. Meanwhile, he is a lover of freedom and creativity.

The journey to conquer the “infinity road” on the sea
During a search on the Internet, he accidentally found information about Cat Hai breakwater in Hai Phong. The purpose of this project is to break waves to prevent water flow into Lach Huyen estuary, helping ships to enter and exit the port easily. In addition, the dike system also helps prevent sand and alluvium from accreting into the channel at Lach Huyen estuary. In the future, this is a reserve space to build more ports.
This virtual living dike in Hai Phong has a total length of more than 10 km and a width of 2.5 meters.
The interesting thing about Cat Hai dike is that it only shows up when the tide is low. The embankment appeared with a road stretching out in the middle of the ocean. When the tide rises, most of this dyke will “submerge” under the sea water.
Overwhelmed by the scale of this project, Tai decided to try and find out where the final point was.
He recounted: “Experienced the feeling of walking alone on the road in the middle of the sea and challenged my limits. I went to many places, always promised myself and my friends that I would make a video about Hai Phong. – the hometown where I was born, grew up and shared unforgettable experiences and unique works here.
This video was scheduled to be filmed from July 2021, but due to the prolonged Covid situation, it was postponed to August 2022 (1 year later). He and his friends went to the breakwater 4 times but had to return immediately because the weather conditions deteriorated rapidly and his companion did not agree to continue participating.
Preparation for the trip took about a year.
In the last time, I went completely alone, after carefully studying the tide schedule and consulting with many fishermen in this area, Tai found a date with suitable water and guaranteed weather. dress.
You have to depart from the night of 2 am to conquer this road, the luggage you bring with you includes a backpack containing a rotating device, a long-sleeved shirt, a flashlight, water and food reserves.
After the post went viral, there were many comments that did not believe that Tai went alone, but the whole team followed to support. He affirmed that the journey was completely unsupported.

“The challenge of “ask a stranger’s age” is what makes me step out of my comfort zone, communicate and get to know people of different ages. This also helps me to have unforgettable experiences of a youth,” shared Tran Tan Tai.
The biggest thing he received after that trip was to understand himself better and discover new limits. At the same time, he also found the secret key to escape from the safe zone.
