Experiencing the Tour of Ba Be Lake’s most famous tourist attractions

Our guide will share fascinating stories and valuable information about the history and culture of the region. Travelers will be welcomed in the town of Ba Be and transported by motorboat to the lake’s famous tourist destinations, including:
Ba Goa Island and the legend of Ba Be Lake
Ba Goa Island is a small, independent island situated in the middle of Lake Pe Leng in Ba Be Lake. The island is primarily composed of small, stacked rock slabs, surrounded by lush greenery of trees and perennial roots embracing the rocks. From a distance, the island resembles a miniature rock garden in the middle of the clear lake.

An Ma Temple – Sacred site at Ba Be Lake
During the Ba Be Lake tour, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the incredibly sacred ancient temple with historical imprints from feudal dynasties in Vietnam, known as An Ma Temple. The temple is located on An Ma Island in the heart of Ba Be Lake, and An Ma in the Tay language means “beautiful resting grave.” According to legend, during the battle between the Lê and Mạc dynasties, defeated generals retreated to the north, eventually meeting their end in the Puông Cave. The locals established An Ma Temple to commemorate the bravery of the Mạc generals. An Ma Island is formed by limestone rocks shaped like tortoise shells rising high above the lake, offering a picturesque natural landscape with abundant wildlife.

Ao Tien
Fairy Pond is a small body of water located at the corner of Ba Be Lake, approximately 100 meters away. Fairy Pond remains filled with water throughout the year, and its calm surface reflects like a tranquil mirror. This spot is a captivating destination when touring Ba Be Lake due to its scenic beauty and the intriguing story originating from hunters who, while lost, passed by Fairy Pond and unexpectedly discovered fairies bathing here. Hence, the name Fairy Pond.

Puong Cave – Nature’s masterpiece in Ba Be Lake
In your Ba Be Lake travel journey, do not overlook the beauty bestowed by nature upon Puong Cave. Situated in the limestone mountains of Lung Nham, Puong Cave was formed by the Nang River flowing through the limestone mountains. The cave’s towering rock walls, adorned with a variety of colorful stalactites, create a surreal and captivating ambiance that attracts tourists and becomes a must-visit check-in location when exploring Ba Be Lake.

Dau Dang Waterfall
Ba Be Lake tourism also features Dau Dang Waterfall, located on the Nang River at the border between Bac Kan and Tuyen Quang provinces. The waterfall was formed when the Nang River, upon reaching Hua Tang village, was obstructed by hundreds of large rocks, creating cascading tiers. Dau Dang Waterfall is majestic, stretching over 1000 meters with three tiers, each separated by 3-4 meters. Notably, the waterfall is home to the rare and massive flying fish, weighing up to dozens of kilograms. Visitors can marvel at the grandeur of the non-stop water flow and immerse themselves in the refreshing spray of the waterfall.

Hua Ma Cave
Continuing the journey to explore Ba Be Lake, visit Hua Ma Cave. Located beside the Leng River, nestled in the foothills of the Co Don mountain amid the lush Le Pen forest, Hua Ma Cave is intertwined with the legend of the harmonious melodies sung by the locals that aided the dynasty in escaping enemies. After a ceremonial performance by the dynasty, the melodies vanished over the years, leaving behind the unique stalactite formations seen in the cave today.

Silver waterfall in Ban Vang – A trendy check-in spot in Ba Be Lake
If you are seeking a stylish check-in location at Ba Be Lake with a magnificent natural view, head straight to Ban Vang’s Silver Waterfall. From a distance, the waterfall appears like a white silk ribbon stretching from the summit of Khau Vang Pass, cascading down to form a pristine pool with large, rugged rocks. At the base of the waterfall, the white water blends with the refreshing green color of the mountains and forests, creating a serene atmosphere—a place to unwind and immerse yourself in nature.

Ban Pac Ngoi in Ba Be Lake
Ban Pac Ngoi is an ideal stop on your Ba Be Lake journey. It is a culturally rich community of the Tay ethnic group. The village stands out with its traditional stilt houses, covered with both positive and negative yin-yang tiles, nestled against the mountainside, creating a peaceful and simple picturesque scene.
