A pond of more than 300 hectares dug by people many centuries ago to store water for daily life and agricultural production is a unique scenic spot of Tra Vinh.

A pond of more than 300 hectares dug by people many centuries ago to store water for daily life and agricultural production is a unique scenic spot of Tra Vinh.

Ba Om pond is located in cluster 3, ward 8, Tra Vinh city (Tra Vinh province) with a rectangular shape, 500m long, 300m wide, and was recognized as a national monument in the scenic type in 1994. Local people often call this "square pond" because the shape at first glance gives the impression that the shore lengths are equal.

The pond surface alone is about 100 hectares wide, the depth in the rainy season is about 2 meters, and has a water reserve of about 2 million cubic meters.

Ao Ba Om is located about 7km from the center of Tra Vinh city, along Highway 53 to the southwest.

Ba Om pond scenic complex consists of 3 parts: water surface area, pond bank and star tree forest, surrounded by many rows of ancient oil trees.

The pond is usually quiet because there is no impact from the current, and is less susceptible to strong winds because there are rows of ancient trees around it to block the wind. Depending on the season, the pond water surface will be clear green or slightly mossy yellow.

According to documents recorded by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tra Vinh province, Ba Om pond was dug by people many centuries ago to store water for daily use and agricultural production.

The surrounding sparse primeval forest is preserved intact.

Over time, the impact and erosion of wind and rain, the roots of many ancient trees here have been exposed with strange and unique shapes.

There are currently about 500 star trees and olive trees hundreds of years old.

Every morning, visitors walk, exercise, or sit and talk, enjoying the cool air under the shade of trees.

The ancient star trees and oil trees around the pond are numbered for easy management.

Ba Om Pond is a unique natural landscape in Tra Vinh in particular, and in the Southwest region in general, becoming a destination that attracts thousands of tourists nationwide to visit each year.

With its cool, green space, Ba Om pond is also chosen by many people as a place to study, picnic, research, experience lake habitat, and camp...
