Tuy Lai Lake
Located in Phuc Son commune, Hanoi, Tuy Lai Lake is about 50km from the center of the Capital and is a popular destination thanks to its still quite pristine scenery. The wide lake surface is surrounded by limestone mountain ranges creating a poetic scene, especially in the early morning when fog covers the water surface.
The quiet space and the large lakeside land are suitable for setting up tents, picnics or overnight stays. Many tourists also choose to paddle SUP, fish, cycle around the lake or simply sit and watch the sunset amidst the fresh natural scenery.
Due to the lack of strong development of tourism services, tourists should proactively prepare tents, food and necessary items before the trip.
Suoi Hai Lake
Suoi Hai Lake is located at the foot of the Ba Vi range, in Cam Linh commune, just over an hour drive from the center of Hanoi. This is a large artificial freshwater lake, formed from a dam system more than 4km long, receiving water from streams on the Ba Vi range before flowing into the Tich River.
The lakeside space is covered with many green trees and small islands creating a cool scenery all year round. Visitors here can camp, roam, fish, visit local fruit orchards or enjoy fresh air amidst nature.
