      2. Tuyen Lam Lake

      Tuyen Lam Lake; 6 km to the South of Da Lat, has the water surface of 350ha. It was created by Tia stream-head water of Da Tam River. No one knows when and why it was called Tuyen Lam, but maybe because of the grandiose nature around it - stream and forest were close to each other. Tuyen stands for stream Lam stands for forest. Tuyen Lam is a place for water and tree meeting each other.

      The lake and its campus have fresh air, ho-tuyen-lam-4.jpg tranquil atmosphere and diversified natural landscape.

      The lake will become a big tourist attraction with the unique types of tourism such as sight-seeing, camping, health caring, trekking, mountain climbing, fishing, visiting revolutionary base and other activities for sport and recreation, especially eco-tourism.

      Soupier means the sound of wind blowing in the forests, but it also has another meaning: the sigh. The second meaning seemed to make sense than the first one, so the lake has called the name Lake of sigh.

      Besides, there are also many stories embellished nuiba.jpg and the love story of Hoang Tung - Mai Nuong is the most popular one:

      At the time of Tay Son dynasty, Hoang Tung, a solder, took Mai Nuong to the lake side to say good bye and he said he will come back on the victory day.
