(HBO) - Bai Cai stream in Phu Luong commune has recently become a popular destination for local residents in Lac Son district’s remote communes during scorching summer days.


Situated in Cai hamlet, Phu Luong commune, Lac Son district, and 200 metres from Phu Luong market, Bai Cai stream can be accessible by provincial road No. 436 through a trail opposite the Phu Luong market or via inter-hamlet road from Khai hamlet.

 The bumpy roads with a lot of tyre tracks indicate that Bai Cai has long become an ideal place for people during summer days.

People look completely at ease when resting at the fresh stream which runs from the lush mountain foot and is surrounded by green shade of trees, boulders and roots of ancient trees.

The stream gets more crowded at noon. According to Bui Van Than, a local resident living near Bai Cai, the stream welcomes hundreds of people, mainly youths, at peak time. Along with local people, the stream has been frequented by many others from neighbouring districts such as Tan Lac.

More than 30 people were bathing in the stream when we arrived. "The water is a little bit cold. Despite muggy weather, I had to stay out in the sun before bathing in the stream again”, said Bui Van Hung from Gia Mocommune, Tan Lac district. This was the fifth time Hung had chance to go for a bathe in Bai Cai stream.


Among those who are enjoying a day off at Bai Cai stream is Quach Thi Liep from Muong Thuong hamlet, Dinh Cu commune. Liep and her six family members and friends often visited Bai Cai during the summer. "My house is 12 km away and since knowing about Bai Cai, we come to take a bath at the stream every summer. We really enjoy the cool and clear water and beautiful landscapes here”, she said.

 "But it is difficult to get here. If the entrance road is improved, more people will visit”, she added.

 For the family of Bui Thi Xuyen from Quyen hamlet, Phu Luong commune, Bai Cai stream has become a friend gifted by "Mother Nature”. The stream has been a place for her family – husband, wife and son – to rest and get relaxed every noon.

 "In summer, it is very hot at noon. We can barely sleep when staying at home so we come here. The stream is only waist-deep and surrounded by many trees, cooling off the atmosphere”, she said.

 "My friends and I have taken bath at the stream several times. It is an ideal place so that everybody is excited to come back here”, said Bui Van Viet, an eleventh grader of Tan Lac High School.

 It is an unforgettable experience to get relaxed in the cool water and the beautiful nature here. The untouched stream is a gift to people in Phu Luong and a place for cooling out during summer days.
