Vinh Phuc province. It takes approximately 1 hour to get from Hanoi downtown to
Dai Lai lake area.
An artificial reservoir turned into a weekend paradise
Hanoi has its excitement and its fearsomeness. Buzzing all around
are the narrow noisy streets of the thousand-year old quarter. Crazy as it is,
one may still get lost in its glamour. At the same time, as the booze wanes
off, one may just find himself longing for a peaceful serenity that seems so
impossible to locate in this fast-pace exotic land. Look no further than a mere
25 miles to the north of town! Welcome to the emerald water of Dai Lai lake.
Enjoying its close proximity to the capital, Dai Lai has
recently seen a boost in the number of visitors. Motels rise up and offer
weekend warriors a spot to enjoy life just a bit, free of all responsibility.
Still at its infancy, the services here are nowhere near top of the line, or to
be fair, comfortable. The one big plus one has to give is that while government
has all the temptation to pollute the lake, it manages to resist. The water is
still shining in its glory, swimmable for the most part. So much owes to the
truth that a company has recently built an upscale resort on the shore,
completed with beach, water sports and water front properties. The Flamingo Dai
Lai resort’s services come at a hefty price, and for the most part are reserved
for residents and guests with prior reservation only. Its spacious villas,
large gardens and the overall luxurious landscape more resemble a European
resort town than one of Vietnamese origin.

Outside of the private Flamingo, one can still find many
other accommodations on the shore, with most being more affordable than the
resort. Good things come at a price, so it should be reasonable that one knows
what is expectedly coming his way. Vietnam, after all, is not known for
outstanding customer service.

The serenity of the calm water and the refreshingly pure
air, thanks to the surrounding mountains and vast forest, as opposed to the
choking exhaust of Hanoi’s motorcycles, are the reason more and more people
come to its shore with each passing season. Locals often chose to dip in the
lake’s water, or go boating around for just one Sunday afternoon. Dai Lai lake
may just be harboring the first steps of a boating culture in Vietnam.
On the other hand, visitors who love hiking and climbing
mountain can challenge themselves with an adventure across the woods to Nhe
Pass or Mo Qua Mountain, both famous for their uprightly high cliffs. The
friendly locals are often very willing to lend help if asked for direction.
Also, the historical Old Castle of Nguyen Danh Phuong that was established more
than 300 years ago during the time of King Le – Lord Trinh chaotic rivalry may
prove exciting to history buffs.

break from its initial bustling awesomeness, come no further!
