Dong Chuong Lake is considered as a small Da Lat because of the poetic scenery as well as the cool fresh air here. Especially the lake surface has an area of ​​up to 45 hectares, winding around the pine hill with a circumference of up to 6km. Compared to Ky Lan lake or Dong Thai lake, Dong Chuong lake is located further away from Ninh Binh city center, so the wild and poetic features are also much clearer. The lake is often deserted, with few people passing by, so you can have private moments, comfortable playing. 

The lake is calm, up to 45ha wide with hills in the distance

The lake is also often compared with Tuyen Lam lake of Da Lat because both have a large area, surrounded by immense, green pine hills. The surface of the lake is calm and clear, in the wind we can hear the rustling of leaves. The air is cool again, moist with water vapor, birdsong, cool breeze blowing through skin. In the early morning, when the sun is just starting to “wake up”, you will see that on the surface of the lake are misty patches of magic like in fairy tales. Dew drops into drops on the tips of the blades of grass, making them heavy, and when the sun comes up again it sparkles, glittering like crystal. However, Dong Chuong lake is special in that you will see low stilt houses located far apart at the foot of the pine hill. They have a mysterious, mysterious beauty as if they contain their own stories.

In all four seasons of the year, Dong Chuong has different and unique beauty. However, the difference will be most obvious during the dry and rainy seasons.
