Ao Chau Pond is a natural fresh water lake situated in Ha Hoa District, Phu Tho Province. It spreads over three communes of Am Thuong, Am Ha, and Y Son in Ha Hoa District and contains high biological and landscape value. The lake is the home of 49 fish species of high economic value. It is considered as a potential attraction of the land of Hung Kings.
Ao Chau Pond has the shape of a giant buffalo’s head whose two horns stretch out to the direction of the Thao and Chay rivers. The vast blue water of the pond remains calm all year round. On moonlit nights, Ao Chau Pond resembles a magnificent picture with forests of palm trees, hills of tea, litchis and apricots mirroring themselves in the water. Heading for Ao Chau, visitors can enjoy the fresh air and taste local specialties like fruits, carps, trionychid turtles, crabs, snails, and so on.
Ao Chau Pond boasts 99 branches, which worm their way through nearly 100 hills and islands. Sailing along these branches, visitors seem to enter an engaging world of natural landscapes. The 99 branches are deemed to be 99 water “serpents” creeping down the pond to hold water.
