Ba Goa Island
Đảo Bà Góa
A small stony island in the middle of the lake, tied to the legend of a compassionate widow who helped a stranger while the village was flooded, and a symbol of how Ba Be Lake came to be.
Ba Goa Island is just a small, tree-covered rock in the lake, but it carries the origin legend of Ba Be Lake. A beggar was refused by villagers during a festival, and only a widow and her son offered him food. A great flood later submerged the village and formed the lake, leaving only the widow's house behind as a small island. Boats slow down as they pass to tell this story, and visitors usually do not land. It can be viewed together with An Ma Temple.
