T’Nưng Lake

T’Nưng Lake is one of the most famous natural attractions in Pleiku City, Gia Lai Province. Often called the “Eyes of Pleiku” for its poetic and profound beauty, the lake lies about 7 km from the city center. It was formed from an extinct volcanic crater, with clear water and a cool climate all year round. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect escape for those seeking tranquility. Especially at sunrise or sunset, the lake takes on a magical, dreamlike quality.

Surrounding the lake are vast pine forests and a winding road that adds to its charm. Visitors can take a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and admire the reflections of the sky in the water. Occasionally, flocks of birds fly overhead, creating a serene and lively scene. It’s an ideal place for photography, painting, or simply relaxing. The untouched natural setting brings peace to anyone who visits.

Beyond its scenic beauty, T’Nưng Lake holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for the local people. Many legends about its origin have been passed down through generations. Locals often regard it as a sacred place tied closely to their spiritual life. As tourism grows, local authorities strive to preserve the lake’s natural beauty and cultural value. T’Nưng Lake is not just a tourist destination—it’s a source of pride for the people of Pleiku.
