With the blue sea, golden sunshine, undulating rapids and the atmosphere filled with the cool scent of the sea breeze, this place will give visitors a feeling of relaxation, completely separated from the noise of the city or the crowded scene of tourist centers.

Referring to Phu Quy Island, many people will immediately think of Small Beach - Ganh Hang, Chaoyang Bay or giant fans. However, this beautiful island also contains many pleasant surprises. One of them is the natural saltwater lake affectionately called "Wheel Lake" by the people.

Wheel Lake is located in the middle of Ganh Hang area of Phu Quy Island, molded by the hands of nature and completely without human intervention. Here, the undulating cliffs inadvertently form a natural recessed area right next to the sea. Each wave that hits the shore brings seawater into the lake bed, forming a naturally clear saltwater tank.

The experience of immersing yourself in the cool water, watching the pristine rocks and listening to the crashing waves echoing from offshore in an absolutely tranquil space makes Wheel Lake a perfect "escape" for each person to find balance in life.
With the characteristics of the terrain, the water in the lake is always kept at a fairly shallow level, only reaching the level of an adult's belly. Because it is a newly discovered tourist destination, this place still retains its inherent peace and wildness. Only a few young people come here to visit, relax and check in with beautiful photos in the middle of nature.
The name "Wheel" comes from the wheels located in the lake bed. No one knows the origin or why they are located here, only that from there, people used to name this small place Wheel Lake.
