Pa Khoang Reservoir went into operation in 1979, situated at 900 metres above sea-level between Muong Phang and Pa Khoang communes in the northern province of Dien Bien. Pa Khoang is the largest reservoir in Dien Bien province, spanning a surface area of 600 hectares with various small islands within its area. One of the most famous islands has nearly 100,000 peach blossom trees from Japan, also known locally as “sakura island”. In early January, the peach blossoms attract visitors to Dien Bien province with its full bloom and peaceful spring atmosphere. Other than the beautiful peach blossoms, visitors can enjoy the peach blossoms festival with activities introducing Japanese culture and Dien Bien province’s ethnic culture. VNA Photo: Trung Kiên
