Have you heard about the place name of “Ha Long Bay on the Mountain”? This is Hoa Binh Reservoir. The fierce Da River became the largest man-made reservoir in Indochina and also a very charming tourist area. Its (230 km) wide area, miles and miles of mountains and forests, the drifting and bobbing, hundreds of islets of varied sizes and villages of the minority groups on the banks that still retain their own identities all constitute a spectacular landscape of mountains and waters. Tourists can stay overnight on board to contemplate view of the moon over a vast area of waters, or in houses-on-stilts to listen to folk songs, enjoy Can wine (wine drunk out of a jar through pipes) and dance together with mountainous boys and girls.

Under a plan to build and turn Hoa Binh Reservoir into a National Tourism Area with various forms of tourism such as yachting, rafting, fishing, mountain climbing, exploring caves and grottoes, hiking to visit minority hamlets, etc. This will be probably an ideal place for tourists.
