Summer - the tea island is still green

(NADS) - Tea Island - Thanh Chuong is about 50 km southwest of Vinh city, in Thanh An commune, Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An province, with a total area of ​​over 420 hectares. These oases are also known as "Ha Long Bay on land" because of their uniqueness that cannot be found anywhere else.

Cau Cau Lake (Thanh An - Thanh Chuong) has a water reserve of about 3 million m3.

Going upstream of the lake, a tea island has been formed with many tea hills emerging like small "oases".

The tea island was formed by the rising water level of Cau Cau Lake (Thanh An Commune - Thanh Chuong District, Nghe An Province). The lake was built in 1963. At that time, due to its small capacity, the hills of tea trees were still sleeping quietly on the eastern slope of the Truong Son mountain range.

The tea hills surrounded by streams create a poetic beauty at dawn or when the clouds drift by.

Due to the requirements of economic development, exploiting the potential and strengths of the Right Bank of Thanh Chuong District. In 2000, Cau Cau Lake, along with 7 other irrigation lakes in Thanh Chuong, was renovated and upgraded under the "Project to renovate and upgrade the Right Bank Irrigation Lake System in Thanh Chuong District" managed by Thanh Chuong Irrigation Company Limited. Cau Cau Lake provides irrigation water for production in Thanh An, Thanh Thinh communes and part of Thanh Chi commune. After being renovated and upgraded, the lake bed was expanded to a capacity of nearly 3 million m3 of water. Thanks to that, all the hills upstream were partly flooded, creating oases. People have cleared the forest hills here to grow industrial tea to provide raw materials for Ngoc Lam tea factory.

Thanh An Commune, Thanh Chuong District, has about 180 tea-growing households with a total area of ​​420 hectares, of which about 80 hectares of tea are surrounded by the Cau Cau dam system, creating a large area with green tea oases.

The boat can weave between tea islands, tree islands, winding, giving visitors a magical, dreamy feeling.

Tourist safety is a constant concern for local authorities and boat owners.

On average, Thanh Chuong tea island welcomes from 25,000 to 30,000 visitors every year.

With a year-round water source, the Central region's summer is still a deep green.

Currently, the total tea area is over 450 hectares, of which about 83 hectares are surrounded by lake water, creating tea oases with breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. After the Ho Chi Minh road section through Thanh Chuong district was completed (in 2003), the Cau Cau lake area was located close to the Ho Chi Minh road, so the tea island became known to many tourists inside and outside the province. Since then, the lake area has been oriented by Thanh Chuong district leaders and local people to develop into a tourist area.

On the tea islands, there are also small, pretty thatched houses for visitors to rest, sip a cup of green tea, immerse themselves in nature, and check-in.
