As late autumn transitions into early winter, Ban Viet Lake in Cao Bang takes on a magical charm, with vibrant red leaves reflected on its tranquil water.

Located in Phong Chau Commune, Trung Khanh District, Cao Bang Province, Ban Viet Lake is just three kilometers from Ban Gioc Waterfall and about 70 kilometers from Cao Bang City. Nestled among majestic mountains and lush forests, the reservoir covers around five hectares and stretches six kilometers, boasting a diverse and vibrant natural ecosystem.

While Ban Viet Lake attracts visitors year-round thanks to the distinct four-season climate of northern Vietnam, it is the late autumn and early winter months that create its most captivating scenes. During this period, the once-green forests gradually shift to shades of yellow, orange, and deep red, forming a stunning contrast against the calm lake. The vivid reflection of the red leaves on the water, combined with the crisp, cool air, leaves visitors mesmerized despite the chilly temperatures.

Visitors can enjoy activities like boating and overnight camping

The serene atmosphere of Ban Viet Lake makes it an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and relaxation. Visitors can stroll along the lakeshore, take in the fresh mountain air, or participate in leisurely activities such as boating and camping. Boating offers a calming way to explore the lake’s beauty, while overnight camping is a popular choice for families and friends looking to unwind. The lakeside provides a perfect setting for small gatherings, games, and unforgettable moments surrounded by nature.

To preserve the lake’s pristine environment, visitors are encouraged to avoid littering, wear appropriate clothing for trekking, and supervise children for safety. Beyond Ban Viet Lake, Trung Khanh District offers other must-see attractions, including the spectacular Ban Gioc and Co La waterfalls, as well as the stunning Nguom Ngao Cave.
