Introduction to Ke Go Lake
Ke Go Lake appears like a vast landscape painting in the Central region, where the blue water surface stretches between quiet mountains and forests. This is a large-scale freshwater lake in Ha Tinh, located in the Ke Go Nature Reserve complex, spreading through Cam Xuyen, Ky Anh and Huong Khe communes.
The project was started on the Rao Cai river in 1976 and completed after three years with many persistent efforts of people.
