a kayaking tour in this beautiful hidden area. This new kayaking tour
will help tourists to have more options for exploring the Vietnamese
natural charm by kayaking.
“We are going to launch this new adventure tour in Jan, 2010” said by
Mr.Tony Tran - Product Manager.
Hoa Binh reservoir is located on a section of the Da River which has
stream flow from Van nam Province, China to Phu Tho Province, Vietnam
with total length is 910km including 383km of chinese territory and
527km of vietnamese territory.
In Vietnam, the start point of the Da river is Muong Te district - Lai
Chau Province. The river flows through the northwestern provinces of
Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Son La, Hoa Binh, Phu Tho and ends at the Da Hong
fork, Tam Nong district, Phu Tho province.
When the biggest hydro power plant in Southeast Asia – the Hoa Binh
Hydro Power Plant – was under construction in the 1980s, the Da River
was stopped up to keep water for a reservoir. The water level then
rose and submerged the valley together with hundreds of mountains,
turning them into islands.
Today, Hoa Binh reservoir is not only plays an important role in
providing a huge of electricity for daily life, but also famous for
its significant scenery. The reservoir is surrounded by many limestone
hills with height from 10m - 100m above water surface. Islands of
different shapes and sizes are embraced by the spacious reservoir. The
water also brings out the green colors of the surrounding countryside.
"There is no word that can describe my feeling when I saw the
reservoir. Nothing difference between here and Halong Bay but the
geographical name” said by Mr. Tony Tran - Product Manager.
The ATA’s inspection team scans the Hoa Binh reservoir to design new
outdoor tours for adventure travelers. The potential outdoor
activities can be designed in this area is kayaking.
“If you find somewhere for kayaking, this is where to stop your
search” added Tony.
Kayakers are able to have short break to visit temples or discovery
caves along riverside.
If you need a light meal on the lake, Muong ethnic people can enchant
you with the crispy roasted meat of the Muong boar. There’s a large
number of Muong ethnic people living in the region.
ATA plans to launch new kayaking tours to Hoa Binh reservoir early
Jan, 2010 and they would offer good promotion rate for first bookings.
