The Tuyen Lam Lake National Tourism Area, nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Lam Dong, Central Highlands, has attained UNESCO’s esteemed criteria, elevating it to the status of an exceptional tourism destination in the vibrant Asia-Pacific region. The forthcoming Vietnam-India cultural and economic exchange, set to transpire in New Delhi on August 3, will witness the formal bestowal of this prestigious title, accompanied by a ceremonious tribute to the brilliant minds, visionary managers, distinguished scientists, social activists, enterprising entrepreneurs, and thriving businesses in the Asia-Pacific region.
Director Nguyen Quoc Tuyen, at the helm of the area’s management board, joyously shared the news that Tuyen Lam Lake stands as the first site in Vietnam to receive this remarkable recognition, a rare honor that sets it apart as the sole recipient in the entire Asian continent on this occasion. The official disclosed the meticulous efforts behind this achievement, with registration dossiers diligently submitted to UNESCO back in March.
Encompassing an expansive water surface of 350 hectares, Tuyen Lam Lake resides merely six kilometers south of the famed tourist destination, Da Lat. Its formation is the result of the convergence between the Tia stream and the Da Tam river, a natural marvel that captivates the imagination. While the origins of its name remain shrouded in mystery, it is surmised that the lake’s appellation may draw inspiration from its majestic surroundings, where the intertwining of the stream and forest evokes awe. Tuyen, meaning stream, and Lam, signifying forest in Chinese Vietnamese, encapsulate the essence of this enchanting locale.
Immersed in an atmosphere of tranquility, the lake and its surroundings offer a refreshing respite for visitors, a haven of diverse natural landscapes that beckon exploration. With its compelling array of attractions, Tuyen Lam Lake is poised to emerge as a premier destination for distinctive tourism experiences. From leisurely sight-seeing to adventurous camping, revitalizing health retreats to exhilarating trekking and mountaineering, and the allure of fishing, historical exploration, and sports and recreational activities, particularly in the realm of eco-tourism, there is an enticing plethora of activities awaiting travelers.
A unique vantage point awaits those who choose to view Tuyen Lam from above or embark on an unforgettable cable car journey. The scene unfolds as a mesmerizing miniature ocean, with each oasis on the lake akin to a self-contained continent. Gazing at this picturesque vista, visitors are transported to a realm of boundless horizons, where the sky and water surface merge, creating a breathtaking experience that will forever etch the beauty of Da Lat in their hearts.
