Pauon Ecolake – a bright spot for lake tourism

What makes Pauon Ecolakes so special is the way it blends into the nature and scenery of the lake. Instead of rough concrete blocks, there are bungalows, viewing huts, and restaurants designed with a gentle, harmonious architecture, respecting the mountains, forests, and rivers. With 12 separate homestays and 3 communal rooms, Pauon Ecolakes can accommodate about 60 guests at a time. Each space is carefully designed to provide privacy and coziness while still preserving the "breath" and local culture.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Tuan, Director of Pauon Ecolakes Tourist Area, said: Building Pauon Ecolakes, with the desire to bring to the lake area a resort in harmony with nature, preserving the inherent ecosystem of the lake area. Therefore, the constructions are built in a natural direction, "clinging" to the river bank with trees and grass, the houses are compactly designed, not built high-rise, environmentally friendly materials but still ensure solidity and safety.

The bungalows are designed in harmony with nature.

In the resort grounds, the unit meticulously planted many colorful seasonal flowers, creating poetic check-in corners. Homestays are hidden on colorful flower carpets, winding paths on the hillside for visitors to stroll and admire the scenery. Each room has a view of the deep blue lake, allowing you to fully enjoy the moment the clouds and sky change on Pa Uon Bridge, the bridge with the highest pylon in Vietnam spanning the Da River.

Mr. Tran Lenh Ngoc Cong, a tourist from Quang Tri province, excitedly said: This is the first time I have come to Quynh Nhai hydroelectric reservoir and chosen Pauon Ecolakes as a place to stay. I was very surprised and impressed with the experiences here. In the middle of the mountains and forests, the immense lake has a well-invested resort with quality services, bringing a feeling of comfort and enjoyment to visitors.
