Ghenh Che Lake

About this location

Ghenh Che Lake - A Picturesque Landscape Amidst the Thai Nguyen Tea Hills Ghenh Che Lake is an artificial reservoir constructed in 1986 to provide irrigation for over 300 hectares of agricultural land. Located near the Tan Cuong tea region in Thai Nguyen Province, it is approximately 20km from Thai Nguyen city center. The lake's surface area fluctuates between 40–90 hectares depending on the season, featuring dozens of islands and peninsulas dotting the turquoise water. It is surrounded by vast forests of styrax and eucalyptus trees, as well as the lush green tea hills characteristic of this region, famously known as the 'premier tea land'. The landscape retains a pristine quality, largely untouched by mass tourism. The calm surface of the lake provides an ideal backdrop for wide shots or aerial cinematography. On July 10, 2023, the Thai Nguyen Provincial People's Committee officially recognized this site as a Community Tourism Destination, managed by the Ghenh Che Community Tourism Cooperative, which facilitates logistical coordination for film crews. With its harmonious blend of lake, islands, and tea hills, and its well-preserved natural state, this location is suitable for romantic films, rural Vietnamese slice-of-life dramas, and tourism promotional videos showcasing the scenic beauty of the Northern Midlands.
