| Binh Thien Lake with Tourist Potential
|
|
|
Binh Thien Lake is located in the adjacent area of the three border communes of Khanh Binh, Khanh An and Nhon Hoi in An Phu District, An Giang Province in southern Vietnam. According to a local legend, a general from the Tay Son time (1778-1802) chose this location for his troops' sanctuary. Due to the dry soil, the general set up an altar to offer gifts and prayers to God, hoping in return they would receive water. At the worshipping site, he planted his sword into the ground then withdrew it. From the gash in the soil came a current of water so plentiful that it formed Binh Thien Lake. |
