Dau Tieng Lake

About this location

Dau Tieng Lake – Vast Water Expanse in the Southern Region Dau Tieng Lake is an artificial reservoir located in the Southeast region, spanning Ho Chi Minh City and Tay Ninh Province under current administrative boundaries. Construction began in 1981 and was completed in 1985. The project has a water storage capacity of approximately 1.58 billion cubic meters, playing a vital role in the regional irrigation system. The lake stands out for its expansive water surface, long shoreline, and natural lakeside landscape. Beyond its irrigation value, Dau Tieng Lake also bears the imprint of the socio-economic development of the Southeast region. The combination of the water surface, lakeside topography, and the landscape of Cau Mountain creates multiple layers of visual space, suitable for capturing panoramic angles, wide shots, and camera movements that record the interplay between humans and nature. With its open and expansive landscape, Dau Tieng Lake has the potential to serve as a backdrop for romantic dramas, feature films, and nature documentaries, as well as stories about daily life or irrigation projects. It is also an ideal setting for building quiet visual frames, creating visual depth, and emphasizing the contrast between the water surface and the lakeside terrain.
