What could be more romantic than a sunset canoe trip on the Hoa Binh reservoir?.
This is the biggest man-made reservoir in Vietnam that not only supplies water
for the Hydro-electric power plant in
Hoa Binh province but also an attractive tourist
destination. With the length of 230 km, the surface area is 230 km 2 between numorous
mountains and forests around cloud-covered and hundred islands spread just like
Ha long bay. Apart from that, there are many villages of ethnic minorities such
as Muong, Thai, Dzao... along two river sides still preserve traditional life
styles
Tourist may stay over night on board to admire romantic moon-nights and enjoy
locally typical food or relax yourself in houses on stilts to listen to folk
songs, to dink pine wine or to take part in traditional dances of local
inhabitants.
You can feel the imposing beauty of Hoa Binh reservoir area as first sun rays
emerge though clouds to lighten reservoir surface or dye it violet at
nightfall. |
