Pine forest of Ban Ang

Located in Dong Sang town, Ban Ang is one of the wonderful eco-tourism resorts of Moc Chau that is deeply impressed by the poetic and charming beauty of pine forest.

When being seen from above, Ban Ang appears with the traditional stilt houses nestled in the pristine natural landscapes of the Northwest mountain forests. Coming to an ideal eco-tourism resort of Ban Ang, it is strongly believed that tourists will be made strong impression by the tranquil beauty of 2 natural lakes with the flow from east to west being adjacent to the immense forest of pine with the area of 43 hectares.

The pine forest here consists of 2 kinds such as local and Da Lat pine stretching on the hill ranges of red-brown feralit soil that makes this mountainous town into the fantastic natural landscape. Thus, beside Da Lat highland, it is true to consider Ban Ang as the second land of pine forest perhaps.

Reflecting the weather of 4 seasons in only a day is the one of the most special features of this land. Maybe, the climate of Moc Chau Plateau itself creates the illusory and sparkling look for the pine forest and natural lakes of Ban Ang. In the early morning, the quiet natural lakes are covered by thin mist.

At noon, the pine forest is fully immersed in the brilliant sunshine that is as in summer weather. And the evening dew together with cool weather covers fully the mountain forests that makes tourists wonder if the winter would come.

Maybe, the most beautiful scene is in the moonlit night when the shadow of pine is reflected in the lake surface and the leaves of pine sing in the wind, which is echoing somewhere and especially looks like the flute calling partner of the ethnic boys.

Visitors will be firstly amazed at the Dao ethnic ladies, with their red scarves covering their hair, as they flock to welcome travelers. They are dressed mostly in black costumes with colorful patterns hemmed in collars, sleeves and laps together with a white hat and shoes. All Dao women shave the hair on their foreheads and eyebrows following their traditional custom.

On the tramp around the village, some Dao women or children will chase after visitors to ask them to buy their brocade products. The village is studded with simple houses with girls sitting sewing products by hand. Bright smiles and the laughter of children will also make an unforgettable memory.

Strolling for about 1,000 meters, excursionists will meet a huge cave at the foot of a high mountain, which legend states was the place where Dao people’s ancestor settled.

The cave is named Dinh Binh Ta Thanh Long Dong and tourists will pay VND50,000 for a guide with a flashlight as they encounter the mysterious grotto with colorful stalactites in weird shapes.

Hoan Kiem Lake – Hanoi

Hồ Hoàn Kiếm (Lake of the Returned Sword) was once a part of the Red river (Song Hong). Through thousands of years of changes in the geography, the lake moved to its present position far away from the river. The lake is the focal point in the old quarter of Ha Noi.

According to the legend, during one of the many conflicts with China in the Viet Nam’s history, heaven sent a magical sword to Emperor Le Thai To, with which he defeated the Chinese army and regained Vietnam’s independence. One day, while sailing on the lake (then named Luc Thuy), a large turtle appeared. The king pointed his sword to the turtle. The turtle quickly grab the sword with its mouth and immediately submerged. The king mourned the lost of his magical sword, demanded to empty the lake but even then the turtle and the sword have not been founded.

The Emperor interpreted the incident that heaven must have lent him the sword only to protect the country but now it has to be returned. This is the explanation of the name Ho Hoan Kiem or Lake of the Returned Sword. Later rulers of Viet Nam have all contributed to the beautification of the Hoan Kiem Lake. A pagoda, Ngoc Son, is a very popular place to visit, where also a shrine exists, which is dedicated to general Tran Hung Dao, a national hero responsible for many victories against the Mongols. On the southwest end of the lake lies Tháp Rùa (Turtle Tower).
