Located in the midst of smooth white sand, Bau Sen will surprise you when climbing up the high sandy slopes, encountering a vast lake sparkling with silver under the bright sun, low pink lotus petals behind the green leaves creating a beautiful romantic scene
Bau Sen, also known as Bach Lake , is divided into 2 areas: Bau Ong and Bau Ba due to the presence of two large and small lakes located next to each other. Bau Ba is also known as Bau White. The lake is 3km wide, with an average depth of 5m with a total area of 70ha, surrounded by pure and smooth white sand caves. Standing from the top of the hill looking down, you will be able to admire the panoramic view of the vast lagoon, deep blue water, stretching beautifully. This is a natural freshwater gourd created by the geological structure of the semi-desert area.
Bau Sen is a place that supplies fresh water to the surrounding residents. In summer, the lotus blooms in full bloom, covering 1 strip of lake, very beautiful. But if you don't go right during the lotus season, don't be in a hurry because those beautiful lotus flowers that grow naturally bloom all year round on the surface of the lake. Under the blue water in it, there are many types of freshwater fish, especially grass carp.
Coming to Bau Sen - Bach Ho, you can rent a canoe of fishermen along the area to walk, or sail by yourself to pick fragrant lotus flowers, walk on the sandbanks, admire the scenery on the lake or fish in small huts are all very interesting. If you like to take a shower, the water here is clear, cool, and clean. Next to it is a cool poplar forest, you can hang in a hammock, relax under the green forest foliage and the breeze.
