Ban Chat reservoir attracts many tourists to the northern mountainous province of Lai Chau.

Taking a boat trip along the Nam Mu River, tourists will enjoy a unique picture of nature, where the blue sky and blue mountains are reflected in the lake, creating a picture that is both wild and wonderful.

After the boat trip, visitors should visit Tham Phe fishing village and enjoy Northwest cuisine on the river. They can also go to the riverhead to visit Ta Mit, Muong Mit and Pha Mu communes to see the charming scenery or go down to Ta Ha commune to visit Ban Chat reservoir.

The afternoon is the time when visitors can capture impressive moments at one of the most beautiful hydroelectric reservoirs in Vietnam.

Here are some beautiful images of the "Ha Long Bay" of the Northwest region:
