Nui Coc Lake

Nui Coc Lake extends across 25 square kilometers of water surface, containing 89 islands surrounded by mountains in northern Vietnam.

The reservoir emerged during the 1970s as part of Vietnam's infrastructure development plan to support irrigation and hydroelectric power generation.

Local narratives tell of lovers Coc and Cong, who transformed into the mountain and river that gave the lake its current formation.

The northern section features accommodations, a water park, and entertainment facilities, while the southern area offers spaces for outdoor activities.

Research indicates the lake retains 66 percent of annual nitrogen and 79 percent of phosphorus from agricultural activities in its catchment area.
