Ba Be lake
The freshwater Ba Be lake, about 225 km from Hanoi is the only significant natural upland lake in the North of Viet Nam, which perhaps resulted from an earthquake, it is the only freshwater lake on karst in the world. Although naturally formed on limestone terrain, the lake is never dry. Ba Be is 8 km of length, 3 km of width, about 20-30m of depth and 145m above sea level.
The lakes is named Ba Be (in Vietnamese means Three Seas) because it is the complex of three lakes called Pe Lam, Pe Lu and Pe Leng. Lake Ba Be is surrounded by limestone mountains and thick forest. Ba Be National Park is an abundant bio-reserve area containing the world’s only fresh-water karst lake and several rare species of fauna and flora.
After a Vietnam motorcycle tours from Hanoi, you can take a dugout canoe to visit the small islands in Ba Be lake with so many stunning views. The stalagmites inside the grotto are beautiful and vary in forms and look like a reclining Buddha, a sitting tiger, climbing monkeys and so on. Dau Dang Fall, the 100-m, three-level waterfall makes the scenery even more magnificent. This tour is suitable with the tourist who love peace and the beautiful of the nature.
Homestay in Ba Be is a good choice. According to the local government “it is not the lack of money that keeps the inhabitants from building new and convenient houses but the love for their ethnic heritage. They strive to preserve and protect those cultural values from disappearing forever, because without these beautiful stilt houses, Pac Ngoi Village is no longer Pac Ngoi village”. At least one day staying with the Tay people will be a highlight of your tour.
