Visitors to Tri An Lake can enjoy pristine nature, fresh water and the sight of mountains in the Nam Cat Tien National Park seen on the horizon.

The lake, which is a reservoir containing 3 billion cu.m of water, is a favourite destination for visitors to Dong Nai Province and the park.

Cruising around the lake is a must-do activity. When visiting islands in the lake, tourists are advised to take snacks and water, and not forget to sample the lake's specialties, especially lang fish.

Many restaurants, guest houses, tents and hammocks serve visitors to the island on the lake. Student groups and families try to stay overnight on the island to gather by the flickering camp fire at night and wait for the dawn shining on the smooth water surface of the lake.-VNS
