Where Is Ba Be National Park?
Ba Be National Park is located in Bac Kan Province, about 240 kilometers north of Hanoi. Known as one of Vietnam’s most spectacular and serene natural reserves, the park is home to Ba Be Lake—the country’s largest natural freshwater lake. The name “Ba Be” means “Three Lakes,” referring to Pe Lam, Pe Lu, and Pe Leng which together form the emerald-colored lake surrounded by limestone mountains, dense tropical forests, caves, and waterfalls.
This park is not only a paradise for nature lovers but also an important cultural site, inhabited by several ethnic minority communities including the Tay, Dao, and Hmong people.
