Chom Nui lake, also known as Hoa Son lake, is a picnic spot near Hanoi that has become more famous in recent times after young people took many stunning pictures of the lake and shared them on social media.

Located in Nam Son Commune, Soc Son District, just about 40 km from Hanoi, this is a natural lake that has a charming landscape with a large area that attracts a lot of young people looking for an Instagram check-in spot, especially during this autumn season.

Compared to other lakes in Hanoi, Chom Nui is well-known for its tranquil and gentle beauty, with the shadows of the trees and hills reflecting on the surface of the water creating an alluring painting of nature. The wilderness of this place makes people feel like they are in harmony with heaven and earth, and enjoy the fresh atmosphere surrounding them. Indeed, Chom Nui lake is considered a rare gem that is given to Hanoi by Mother Nature.

It is not too difficult finding your way to Chom Nui, and you can arrive here using any kind of vehicle or public transportation. However, this is a newly discovered place, so there are no direction signs on the way to the lake. It is best to use your Google map or an app to look up the direction, in order not to get lost.

Chom Nui lake is not a tourist attraction, so it is a totally free picnic spot. You can also find some grocery stores about 1 km away from the place. However, you still need to prepare the necessary items for camping and cooking, since there will be no renting services around here.

Visitors will not have to pay for entrance tickets when they come here, but one minus point is that this place has no trees, so it will be very hot in the afternoon and cold in the evening. Remember to fully prepare clothes, food, and necessary items, so that you will have a great camping experience.
