A majestic river



The cliffs shine like huge mirrors, stones covered with lush green vegetation, and fast flowing waterfalls such as Keng Mo, Keng Man, Keng Con and more are all part of the mystique of the Da River.

The river's source of water starts Ka Lang commune, Muong Te district, Lai Chau province. Da River, also known as "Black River", has a length of 983 km and boasts over 200 waterfalls.

It is a major tributary of the Red River joining it in Phu Tho Province. There are two huge hydropower plants built along this river named Hoa Binh Hydro Power Plant and Son La Hydropower Plant.

This fascinating river from nature is a sight to be seen that won't be forgotten.
