Located 68 kilometers from Bac Kan City and 250 kilometers from Hanoi, Ba Be Lake was formed nearly 200 million years ago. Surrounded by marvelous limestone mountains and primary forests, the lake is among the world’s 20 most beautiful lakes and was recognized as the 1,938th Ramsar site in February 2, 2011. A Ramsar site is a wetland area designated to be of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.
