The lake has a total water surface area of 250ha with rich vegetation. There are towering limestone mountains surrounding the lake, dotted with small hidden oases interspersed with lush forests.
In the mornings, when the light has not appeared, Tuy Lai lake is so dreamy, mysterious, and poetic amidst the misty mist on the water. After the sun comes out to dispel the clouds, the view appears clearly hour by hour, showing the mountains looming near and far, reflecting on the lake’s surface like a giant mirror.

Another justification is the appearance of flocks of poultry and livestock from nearby farms. The image of them makes the picture of nature more vivid. The quiet and peaceful space is typical of the rustic suburbs, which never changes here. It is this feature that makes the place an ideal stop for young people in the city to find some fresh air and peace of mind.

One of the most popular activities here is camping overnight. Visitors love Watching the sunset slowly fall behind the mountains, gathering around the red fire and chatting until midnight, or just opening the tent in the early morning to enjoy the dawn. What could be more relaxing than that?
Since there is still no tent service here, you should choose a camping location. Do not choose an area too close to the lake to be careful when the lake water rises and falls erratically. Just choose a flat high ground facing the lake and you are spoiled for choice.
The ground is also very easy to camp. Coming in just one day, you won’t see all the beauty of the lake. A glimpse of the sunset on the lake can make you sad, an early morning clear air with a little morning dew can make you more peaceful in your heart.
