Information Tinh Tam Lake

It remains as a famous beauty spot of Hue, used to be praised in poetry. The lake was once a part of Ky Te lake. In 1824, Minh Mang Emperor changed the lake into a place of sightseeing and spiritual convalescence. There are 3 islets in the lake including Bong Lai, Doanh Chau and Phuong Truong, which were named after those in legends.

Lotus grows in the lake and its magnificent fragrance and color linger in summer. Legends have it that kings and mandarins came to this place to relax and drink tea scented with lotus from the lake. Hue is famous for its lotus products, especially Tinh Tam lotus.

Today, Tinh Tam lake belongs to the locality of Thuan Thanh and Thuan Loc precincts.
