Na Hang is a mountainous district in
Tuyen Quang Province and is the home of
beautiful Na Hang Lake. With its primitive and mysterious beauty,
Na Hang Lake
has become a wonderful destination for tourists.
Located in the centre of Na Hang District, Na Hang Lake is surrounded by
mountains and ancient temples. Near the lake is Pac Ta Mountain, the highest
mountain in the district. It looks like an elephant stooping down near a jar of
alcohol that is reflected in the green lake.
At the foot of the mountain stands an old temple that is dedicated to a
concubine of General Tran Nhat Duat from the 13th century. The temple is famous
for its beautiful scenery and sacredness. It is a must-see for visitors.
Na Hang Lake is considered to be the “Ha Long Bay among high mountains and thick
forests”. There are a total of 99 mountains with different shapes, fascinating
all visitors.
The area around the lake has many spectacular spots such as natural rocky
platforms in strange forms, the famous waterfalls of Khuoi Sung, Khuoi Nhi and
Pac Ban which run all year round and Phien Bung forest which acts as a green
filter providing remarkably clean air for the area.
On the way to Phien Bung, the hamlets of the Dao and Tay ethnic people appear
amid the green canopies of the forest, creating a very peaceful scene.
With the beautiful sights described above, the authority of Na Hang District
uses tourism to boost the economic sector. Efforts have been made to develop
infrastructure to encourage tourism and Na Hang District have coordinated with
neighbouring provinces, such as Ha Giang,
Bac Kan,
Lang Son and
Thai Nguyen to
organize inter-provincial tours to attract more and more tourists. |
