Sitting in any houses, people can see the whole view of the vast reservoir area and blue sky as touching hand.

The local people mainly work in agriculture, forestry, fruit trees, husbandry, aquaculture and fishing on the lake. In spite of many difficulties, the people are very friendly and open. Bich Tru village has a long time to be a point of discovery and enjoying for those who love nature and seek out the relaxed feeling on the vast reservoir.
