Dầu Tiếng, Rural district in Bình Dương, Vietnam.
Dầu Tiếng is a rural district in Bình Dương province characterized by extensive agricultural lands and scattered settlements. The landscape is shaped by the Dầu Tiếng Reservoir, a large water body that dominates the southern portion of the area.
The area held strategic importance during the Vietnam War, with a military camp established in 1966 to counter infiltration from the Cambodian border region. This military presence left lasting effects on the district's development.
The district preserves rural Vietnamese ways of life, where farming and fishing shape the daily rhythm of villages. Visitors can observe traditional communities tending to their fields and water sources using methods passed down through generations.
The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are more accessible and agricultural work is at its peak. The area is relatively flat, making it easy to explore, and the reservoir offers views from various local vantage points.
A large rubber plantation once extended across this land during the French colonial era, serving as one of the region's major economic drivers for decades. Traces of this agricultural past remain visible in the landscape and some of the older buildings found here.
