On the top of village, there are majestic mountains in which it exists some primitive forests, many hills of Aganonerion, forest tamarind trees and enchanted rose myrtle hills. 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. Moreover, the village is a place for many visitors who want to enjoy the food and ethnic products such as Da river grilled fish, smoked ham, indigenous chicken with lime leaves and chilies, and forest honey. Location of Bich Tru village is both close to the city and connects to Ranh hamlet in order to go to Thang cave of Hoa Binh commune, which are potential cultural and spiritual tourism areas.
