Tuyen Lam Lake in Lam Dong, Vietnam, is set to receive prestigious recognition from UNESCO as an outstanding Asia-Pacific tourism area. The official title will be awarded during the Vietnam-India cultural and economic exchange in New Delhi on August 3.
Nguyen Quoc Tuyen, the Director of the Management Board overseeing the area, proudly shared that Tuyen Lam Lake will be Vietnam’s first site to achieve this honor, making it the sole recipient in Asia this time. The application for the title was submitted to UNESCO in March.
Located 6 km south of Da Lat, a renowned tourist destination, Tuyen Lam Lake covers an impressive 350 hectares, formed by the merging of the Tia Stream and Da Tam River’s headwater. Although the origin of its name remains a mystery, it likely reflects the harmonious meeting of water and trees in the majestic landscape. “Tuyen” means stream, and “Lam” means forest, beautifully symbolizing this natural convergence.

It is poised to become a major attraction, offering a variety of unique tourism experiences, including sightseeing, camping, health retreats, trekking, mountaineering, fishing, visits to revolutionary sites, and other recreational activities, with a special emphasis on eco-tourism.
