The system comprises around 36 natural lakes (though the number visible varies seasonally), with Thang Hen Lake being the largest and most accessible. Surrounded by lush forests and towering peaks, the lakes boast stunning emerald-green or sapphire-blue water, depending on the time of year and depth. Visitors can enjoy boat trips on Thang Hen Lake, relax by the water's edge, or explore nearby caves like Thang Hen Cave.
