flying in the dreamy world of Na Hang

HẢI AN |

It is a world of a foreign land built in the midst of a vast gloom, with 99 misty mountain peaks surrounded by a vast lake mirror (80 million square meters). Na Hang - this fairyland contains both the love-like water-based painting beauty of the water-culture painting and the adventurous spirit of the large lake flooded with clouds.

Na Hang hydroelectric reservoir was created by human hands. On the basis of an ancient land of about 15,000 hectares, more than 2 billion cubic meters of water have been collected to operate the Tuyen Quang hydropower plant (Tuyen Quang province), creating a captivating mountain lake scene.

It is said that the lake on the mountain is really not at all wrong because Na Hang Lake is located at an altitude of 1,000m above sea level. The water of the Gam and Nang rivers has been stopped at the foot of the majestic Pac Ta mountain range and has risen to become a large lake, turning the mountain peaks into floating islands when exposed.

cruising a boat on the lake in the early winter morning is a pleasure because this is the time when the clouds and mountains fall into a state of "enlargement" because of the wind, clouds, and formation of water. To watch that moment, we had to stay in Tay village in Lam Binh the night before.

That night, in the darkness, the moon of the 9th lunar month at the beginning of the baby leap year, showed the stillness of the forest and mountains. Sitting in a bright light or something, sipping some delicious tea and wine, telling stories about the pho sauce that makes you feel strangely peaceful.

The next morning, I woke up early and found a way down to the lake in a misty air, just like walking in the middle of a sleeping stream. A small boat is only enough to carry 3 people. Unstable and precarious, but in line with the boat's fragility, it promises quietness, safety, and despair instead of the noise of the crowd on the xoang iron boat, the sound of the loudspeaker.

The sky is bright sunny and covered with clouds and fog to treat a magical scene in the middle of a lake lying on the back of a mountain. It is not clear whether the smoke rises from the water or falls from the sky, but they are either howling on the water surface, or "wrapping a veil" around the cliffs rising in the middle of the lake, creating a beauty that is both fragile and surreal like a sea painting.

Perhaps, only the thoughts of the pen flying on paper can describe that vague beauty and perhaps only the bottom of the retina can capture the illusion of this butterfly-like beauty. I tried to press the camera on my phone to save the frames, but when I watched it again, there were only sighs. Now, let's look with the eyes, take a brain photo.

The boat rowed lightly, and visitors got lost in the languagelesslet scene. Hundreds of rocks grow in the middle of the eye-catchingly wide lake, creating a strange forest, with a flat "land", only rolling when there is wind, thereby soaring up like pillars in the landscape of the blockbuster film "Avatar".

Squeezeing between stone pillars flying on the water, squeezing through the hidden green roof houses on small islands, naturally feeling lost from daily life. This is a black hole, a worm hole that has swept the wandering people to another universe. Only the sound of dogs barking in the mist can keep the rhythm of the vague imagination.

Following the rowing roof, the boat strode through the magical and poetic Pac Ban waterfall (Mo lake), then Khuy Sung, Khuy Nhi, Khuy Me, Nam Me waterfall in many forms. Looking far away, you will see Pac Ta mountain in the shape of an elephant standing next to the wine tray. A little further away is Xa Ta mountain, also known as Con Lon mountain.

At the foot of Pac Ta Mountain, there is a shrine to the spirit of famous General Tran Nhat Duat, who went to Da Giang to sell Trinh Giac Mat festival goods to resolve the internal conflict before the Mong River's horses passed. That person who died in the great cities and cities with the great cities and was buried here with the kings of the province and built a temple and incense to burn forever.

If you have the desire to put your boat ashore, you will be in the Tat Ke - Ban Bung Nature Reserve, with primeval forests with a thousand-year-old orchid tree and the snakeheaded langur listed in the World Red Book, with the hope of meeting Phac Phien, a fairy grass flower with a fragrant aroma that can heal all worries in the mind.

About an hour later, the fog gradually cleared, revealing a vast, clear lake. The green water like a billion-year-old pearl radiates a strange source of energy, an irresistible invitation. The waves roll, the wind is gentle, reaching water, suddenly feeling that energy flowing into the heart.

Despite the cold of winter, although not yet so bad as cutting the skin and meat, it still makes the weak and weak feel nervous, a desire to immerse themselves in the pure green pearl, in the other source of energy to purify their bodies from the inside out.

The young boats rowed into a closed water cluster, without any curious eyes looking at it to return to nature. The boat was so fragile that it only had a sharp stone embankment, so it did not dare to jump straight into the water from the boat. Moreover, in the face of a majestic lake, we need to know how to respect it. Carefully step onto a rock, then slowly enter the water.

First is the cold. The cold from the water is tens of meters thick, congs with cold air from the mountain rocks that radiates sharply into the body of the person who risked his life. A strong heartbeat, rapid breathing of the lungs, creates an inner heat to fight that cold.

Don't be afraid! Telling yourself that, then reaching out strongly, squeezing into the dirty water. The fear disappears, giving way to refreshment. The cold is now like a knife, gently cutting off all the worries in the mind, the fatigue in the body.

The water covers the wavy bodies on the waves, thoroughly washing each foot and hair, fueling the energy of the human body through the eyes, nose, ears, mouth and pores. I lightly step my legs, keeping my body upright in the water, slowly sinking down to absorb that energy, then rising up, opening my eyes to look around with a fresh, joyful look.

The water of Na Hang Lake is truly miraculous!
