The restaurant lies on a large lake. The lake plays a very important role in regulating the temperature for the complex in general and restaurants in particular, especially in areas with high temperatures in summer like in Cuc Phuong. In addition, it serves as a place to store rainwater and water flowing down from the mountains. At the same time, it provides water for irrigation for about 15 thousand flower trees in the area.
