A reservoir that collects water from a volcanic crater.

Approximately tens of millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions formed Ly Son Island (Quang Ngai province). If you have the opportunity to visit the island, don't forget to explore Thoi Loi freshwater reservoir.

Located in An Hai commune, Thoi Loi is the largest volcano on Ly Son Island, with a peak over 149 meters above sea level, making it the highest point on the island. The journey to the summit is even more exciting as you pass by the island's largest freshwater lake. This lake also provides water for irrigating onion and garlic fields and for the daily lives of the local people. A walking path leads visitors from the flagpole, heading south, gradually climbing to the summit to reach the natural lake, which resembles a giant funnel. This is the crater of a volcano that, millions of years ago, erupted, spewing lava flows that contributed to the unique landscape of Ly Son today.

At different times of the day, the lake reveals its own unique beauty, creating a vibrant natural landscape. In the morning, as the sun begins to rise from the east, its gentle light falls upon the waters of Thoi Loi Lake, creating a clear, refreshing blue-green hue. The early morning sunbeams make the water sparkle as if sprinkled with silver. The surrounding area is tranquil, with only the sound of birdsong and a gentle breeze rustling through the grass along the lake's edge, creating a fresh and peaceful scene.

At midday, under the intense sunlight, the lake becomes even more vibrant with its deep blue hue. The sunlight shines vertically, highlighting each tiny ripple. The water's surface reflects the blue sky and the white clouds floating lazily, creating a vivid picture. At this time, the air is somewhat hot, but the deep blue of the lake brings a feeling of coolness and tranquility.

In the evening, after the sun has set, the lake's surface turns almost black. The scene is tranquil, with only the rustling of the wind and the distant sound of the waves. The lake's surface is as calm as a large mirror reflecting the night sky, creating a feeling of peace and serenity. In the darkness, Thoi Loi Lake seems to fall asleep, awaiting the light of a new day. This first irrigation project on the island not only has economic and life-changing significance for the local people but also attracts a large number of tourists, becoming an attractive destination on the island.
