'Ha Long Bay on land' attracts visitors
About 105 km from Hanoi and 30 km from the center of Hoa Binh city, Ngoi Hoa bay (located in Ngoi hamlet, Suoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district) is a cool, green destination that attracts tourists to visit and experience.
Ngoi Hoa Bay is a highlight in the core area of Hoa Binh Lake tourist area, likened to "Ha Long on land" or "a hidden gem on the mountain".
According to locals, Ngoi Hoa Bay has a unique location because it is located on a high mountain, in a lake. The bay is vast and the water is clear. Here, the scenery is diverse, the climate is cool and fresh.
People take advantage of the land around the bay to grow trees such as acacia, bamboo, and bương, and also make many fruit gardens such as melon, papaya, banana, gourd, squash, etc., contributing to making the bay's landscape more vibrant and green.
