1. Ke Go Lake - A Poetic Gem in the Heart of Ha Tinh

One of the largest artificial freshwater lakes in Ha Tinh Province is Ke Go Lake, located within the nature reserve of the same name. Ke Go Lake was constructed on the Rao Cai River in 1976 and completed after three years. It is an important irrigation project and offers stunning landscapes, attracting numerous visitors each year. The lake stretches nearly 30 kilometers and spans three districts: Cam Xuyen, Ky Anh, and Huong Khe, providing drinking water to thousands of residents in the area.

Ke Go Lake is also mentioned in the famous song "Nguoi di xay ho Ke Go" ("Those Who Built Ke Go Lake") by musician Nguyen Van Ty, symbolizing the resilience and determination of the people of Central Vietnam.
