Experience Traveling Thung Nai
1. Introduction to Thung Nai Hoa Binh
Thung Nai is a commune nestled in the reservoir of the Da River, under Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province, formerly known as Muong Thang, one of the famous affluent areas of the Muong people.
In the 1980s, when the Da River hydroelectric plant began construction and water storage, Thung Nai Hoa Binh transformed into a gigantic reservoir, with once tall mountains becoming small islands, creating a picturesque landscape of water and mountains.
