Apart from flood control, electricity generation, irrigation and water transport, the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant is a popular tourist attraction, particularly crowded during July and August when the floodgates are opened.

But people haven’t seen water discharge to Da River in the last four years. That’s why when the opening of the sluice gates was decided; the dam has been thronged with people who want to witness the magnificence of the dam as large columns of water poured into Da River.

People are waiting to see the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant open the floodgates.

White, aggressive columns of water remind people of used-to-be raging Da River…

In spite of the aggressive water flow, Da River banks look peaceful and beautiful in at night.

However, authority should advise people to be careful and stay away from restricted areas.
