Búng Bình Thiên

About

Búng Bình Thiên or Nước Trời Lake is a fresh water lake in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. The name that the lake is most often called by, Búng Bình Thiên, means '[the] lake from the sky', referring to the observed stillness of the lake's surface and blue color it retains year-round. It is located in the An Giang province, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) from the province's capital Chau Doc within the An Phú District. Búng Bình Thiên links three communes, namely Khánh Bình, Nhơn Hội, and Quốc Thái. It also links the Bình Di River and the Hậu River.
