When coming to Bac Kan, the must-see place for most visitors is Ba Be Lake - the famous and picturesque National Park in Northeast Vietnam.

For Vietnamese, Ba Be Lake is a familiar name. Since childhood, many people must have heard of "the Legend of Ba Be Lake". Not only famous for its legend but the Lake is also known for its scenic beauty.

As the largest natural freshwater lake in Vietnam, listed in the top 100 largest freshwater lakes in the world, and recognized as one of the 20 special freshwater lakes in the world that need to be protected in 1995, this Lake was also recognized in 2004 as the ASEAN Heritage Park. Some of the above statistics have partly shown the unique features of Ba Be National Park.

With an area of ​​​​up to 650 hectares and an average depth of 20-25 meters stretching more than 8 kilometers, Ba Be Lake appears like a flat mirror reflecting the blue sky in the majestic mountains. The lake is the convergence of three tributaries of the Pe Lam, Pe Lu, and Pe Leng rivers. Therefore, this place is also known by the locals as Slam Pe, meaning three lakes.
