Suoi Tia – The Stunning Upstream Of Tuyen Lam Lake

Most tourists coming to Da Lat know Tuyen Lam Lake - the largest freshwater lake in the city. However, only a few people know the origin of the water flowing into the lake, Suoi Tia.

The area surrounding the flow of Suoi Tia is surrounded by mountain ranges forming a basin terrain. Around 1985 - 1986, the People's Committee of Lam Dong province and Duc Trong district built dams to retain water in the Suoi Tia area, forming Tuyen Lam Lake as it is today, according to the Lam Dong province electronic information portal.

Hills and mountains surround the flow area of Suoi Tia, creating a basin terrain, where bamboo trees live and grow. Each season, the bamboo forest takes on a different beauty.

The slender bamboo trees reaching into the sky create a unique scene, especially in the springtime, when the slender, spindly tree trunks, rise vertically into the sky and attract photographers to take the best shots.

Arriving at Suoi Tia on November 22, 25-year-old Bui Ngoc Lam, a tourist from Hanoi, said the road from Da Lat city center to Suoi Tia is about 15 km. The road is quite nice, only a short section of about 100 m is under repair. Visitors can travel by motorbike or pickup truck near Suoi Tia and walk another 300 meters to get there.
