(Baonghean) - Ban Ve Hydroelectric Reservoir is located in the mountainous district of Tuong Duong. The rising water level has made this hydroelectric project a popular tourist attraction, especially for young people who love backpacking and photography.
 |
| The Ban Ve hydroelectric reservoir not only provides a large amount of electricity but is also an attractive ecotourism destination in western Nghe An province. |
 |
Floating restaurants are the starting point for tourists and also where they can enjoy fresh fish specialties on the lake after their sightseeing trip. |
 |
| The dugout canoes used by the local people to make a living on the lake add to the beauty of the landscape in western Nghe An. |
 |
| On both sides of the lake, local people have taken advantage of the clean water to raise fish in cages – a new economic model that contributes to poverty reduction for ethnic minorities in the highlands. |
 |
| Boats are the only means of transportation for the people living on the lake. |
 |
| The lake stretches wide, reflecting the hills and mountains on either side. Forest cover here exceeds 80%. |
 |
| The further upstream you go, the smaller the lake becomes, gradually giving way to vast stretches of green forest. |
 |
| Fishing on the lake. |
 |
| Every day, the lake provides tons of fresh fish to the local people. |
 |
| Fish in the hydroelectric reservoir grow very quickly because of the abundant and clean natural food. The fish caught in nets are sold right at the dock. |
 |
| The boat dock serves as a trading hub for tourists and residents of the three villages in the lake area. |
