Poetic lotus pond of over 3,000 m2 in a highland village in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - A natural lotus pond has emerged in the mountains and forests of Western Nghe An - where Thai people migrated to live nearly 20 years ago, creating a very poetic scene. There are young women in traditional costumes, blending into the pink color of lotus, graceful, gentle but also full of vitality.

| Dooc Bua village in Tam Thai commune, Tuong Duong district was established in 1990 by people from Can village who migrated here. Before that, this place was a wild, dense forest that no one knew about. Later, thanks to some households who came to reclaim the land and settle down, Dooc Bua village was formed. Up to now, the whole village has more than 30 households with over 100 people. |
 |
| What is special about this small remote village is that there is a large lotus pond in the middle of the village. According to the village Party Secretary Lo Van Nhan, this lotus pond is a natural lotus pond, which existed before the village was established. When they migrated here, the village was named Dooc Bua (in Thai, it means lotus). In the past, the lake was smaller, then the villagers expanded it to dig a pond to raise fish to preserve the lotus. Up to now, this lake has an area of over 3,000 m2. |
 |
| The end of May and beginning of June is when lotus flowers in the lake are in full bloom, creating a rare beauty in the highlands of Nghe An. |
 |
| Every year, the village has a convention to assign groups to take turns protecting and harvesting lotus to create a common operating fund. "Thanks to this lotus pond, Dooc Bua has a source of funds for its operations," Mr. Lo Van Nhan shared. |
 |
| This natural lotus pond has contributed to beautifying the scenery of the Thai village. In the summer, this place has become a familiar address for many young men and women near and far. They come to experience the poetic, peaceful beauty and take souvenir photos next to the blooming lotus buds. |
