Small replica of Ha Long Bay in the heart of Hanoi
Thanh Dat 06:18, 2019/01/22
When the sun is not rising, this charming place is covered with a thin layer of mist, creating a strange mystical scene.
Like "small Ha Long Bay" in the heart of Hanoi, Tuy Lai Lake (Tuy Lai commune, My Duc district) is where tourists can hide from the noisy atmosphere in the city to immerse themselves in the green and peaceful space.


 
Tuy Lai Lake is a complex of three lakes adjacent to the scenic Quan Son Lake, about 45 km from the downtown of Hanoi. Covering up to hundreds of hectares, the lake stretches along a limestone mountain. The green water surface with the protruding rock, dozens of islands and many caves create a romantic landscape. This place offers the beauty of the peaceful suburbs, rustic and subtle and the poetic beauty of the scenic Ha Long Bay. As a result, Tuy Lai Lake and Quan Son Lake are much fondly referred to as Halong Bay on land, Small Ha Long Bay or "green oasis in the suburbs of Hanoi.”


 
When the sun is not rising, this charming place is covered with a thin layer of mist, creating a strange mystical scene. When the sun rises clearing the fog, you will admire the beautiful scenery of the limestone mountains, with tiny islets and mysterious caves. On calm days, the lake looks like a giant mirror, reflecting shimmering light from the sky.


 
The painting named Small and Beautiful Ha Long Bay replica is attracting more and more tourists. The most interesting thing about this place is that you can catch cows grazing grass, ducks slipping through the water and fish swimming. In Tuy Lai Lake, the green grass makes anyone want to lie on it to remember the childhood of riding buffalo and cut grass; or recite a few songs, read a favorite book or share it with friends.


 
It is also suitable for visitors to set up camping tent, get into the rhythm of nature and show their passion for photography. Every moment in the "green oasis of the capital's suburbs" for you is worth living.  As such, you have to love the scenery here, not to leave.
