Trị An lake transforms verdant grassland during dry season

(ĐN)- In July, Tri An Lake in Dong Nai province takes on a completely new appearance, captivating nature lovers with its vast, green landscapes that emerge as water levels recede.

The lake now transforms into a breathtaking grassland.

Located about 70 kilometers from HCM city, Tri An Lake is an artificial reservoir on the Dong Nai River, covering over 32,000 hectares. Normally known for its vast waters, the lake now transforms into a breathtaking grassland during the dry season, drawing weekend travelers and young adventurers from across the region.

From reservoir to rolling green plains

After weeks of intense sun and low water, the lakebed lies exposed, dry and cracked. Yet just a few scattered rains early in the season are enough to awaken hidden seeds beneath the surface, carpeting the area with lush green grass

Now, instead of shimmering waters, visitors are greeted by endless meadows stretching toward the horizon. Under golden sunlight, the fields glow a vibrant jade, gently swaying in the breeze. The sound of rustling grass seems almost melodic, soothing to the senses and soul alike.

Adding to the enchantment are the meandering dry lakebeds weaving through the grass like natural brushstrokes, forming patterns as elegant as they are surreal. This dreamlike scenery invites visitors to stroll barefoot across velvety grass, breathe in the earthy scent of young shoots, and leave behind the burdens of city life

Outdoor adventures and leisure activities

To make the most of this seasonal transformation, many visitors now opt for glamping, the luxury camping model that blends comfort with nature. Nestled under shady trees on gentle hillsides, glamping tents come fully equipped, offering a resort-like experience amid the wild.
