Historical site in Da Lat - Than Tho Lake

Than Tho Lake is located about 6 km east of Da Lat city center, near Da Lat National Martial Arts School (currently the Army Academy). The lake is located on a high hill in the middle of a pine forest, providing a peaceful and quiet space. On the north side of the lake there is a pair of pine trees that evoke the image of a couple, near the scenic Pine Hill Two Tombs with the legend of a broken love. Initially, the Than Tho lake area was just a small pond, and was called Tono Pang Dong. However, in 1917, the French built a lake here to provide daily water for Da Lat. The French named the lake Lac Des Soupirs (meaning "murmuring lake" in French). However, later, the lake was renamed Than Tho Lake by Mr. Nguyen Vy, Chairman of Da Lat Town Council, to express sympathy for the legend of the romantic love story between Hoang Tung and Mai relying on the year of the 18th century here. Than Tho Lake has experienced many ups and downs in history. From the reclamation of mountains and forests in the 1980s - 1990s, to the process of conservation and restoration at the end of 1990. In 1999, Than Tho Lake was recognized and ranked by our state as a scenic spot, national historical relics. Source: Da Lat tourism information portal
