Leaving Tuyen Quang city for about 2 hours, the bus stopped at the boat station in Na Hang district. The bed of Na Hang hydropower reservoir is where the Gam River and the Nang River meet, at the foot of the Pac Ta Mountains with 99 mountains drawing a blue landscape, making Na Hang named Ha Long in the midst of thousands. Sitting on the boat is not only heated by the sun and wind, but also can see the vast forests in the distance.
The boat floated on the lake bed for a few hours from Na Hang to Lam Binh. Each person has a different way of expressing their love for a land, sometimes the lyrics of the song "Love you like 99 mountains, Remember me like Pac Ta mountain, brother.", sometimes pictures, and simply put it in a beautiful place in the mind.
The boat stopped in front of the entrance to Pac Ta temple. It is a large area of land with purple flowers swaying in the wind. Different green patches are intertwined: water green, grass green, forest green. On the shore, cows are grazing. The forest robe is woven on golden patches of golden ironflowers, the April flower of Tuyen.
The boat stopped at the pier in front of the road to Khuoi Nhi waterfall. Looking down from above, each piece of soil covered with green grass protrudes like giant feet, surrounded by water. The road to Khuoi Nhi waterfall has many jagged rocks, but not too steep, relatively nourishing, and there are many small streams, just drop your feet to get a fish massage.
Leaving the waterfall, the boat continued to go down the water towards Lam Binh. Going to the middle of the hydropower lake, there is a rocky outcrop separate from the mountain, rising above the blue water, called Coc Su (Tay language – meaning pile to tie buffaloes). The reason why it is called a stake to tie a buffalo is because it is associated with the accumulation of Tai Ngao, tying a buffalo here when carrying stones to dams to prevent water from helping people.
Sitting on the boat, zooming out to the far side of the shore, occasionally encountering leafy houses nestled under the slopes, floating on the water. It is known that people when the lake does not have water to live here. Later, because they were used to being there, they returned to make a temporary house to live raising fish and shrimp, raising ducks, herding cows and goats on the shore.
Life in Na Hang is as calm as a calm lake. A day of shutdown, immersing yourself in nature is a great day here.
