(HBO) – Hoa Binh Lake is the largest artificial lake in Southeast Asia. It is 70km long and spreads across 17 communes in five districts and city. There are 47 large and small islands in the reservoir, including 11 limestone islands with an area of 116 hectares and 36 earth islands covering nearly 160 hectares. On August 1, 2016, the Prime Minister approved a master plan on developing Hoa Binh Lake into a national tourist site by 2020. By 2030, Hoa Binh Lake is expected to become the province’s biggest tourism centre and one of 12 key national tourist sites in the northern mountainous mid-land region.
