Fishing and picnicking for an amazing weekend at Bamboo Village.

Every weekend, hundreds of city dwellers leave behind their busy work schedules and flock to suburban areas like Hoc Mon, District 9, or Nha Be to relax and enjoy delicious local specialties. The Lang Tre fishing lake area in Nha Be is a popular weekend getaway destination, attracting many visitors because it's close to the center of District 7, boasts interesting scenery, and offers unique, delicious, and authentic rural cuisine.

The interesting scenery of Bamboo Village

From Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard in District 7, turn onto the extended Le Van Luong road and after about 3km, you'll see the entrance to the Lang Tre fishing area and restaurant prominently displayed from afar. The fishing lake area is covered with rows of bamboo and coconut trees, providing cool shade all year round.

The paths leading down to the fishing lake in Lang Tre are covered in lush greenery by rows of bamboo that have been planted for the past 8 years.

The most distinctive feature of Bamboo Village is the rows of tall, lush green bamboo groves that form walls along the path leading down to the fishing lake. On hot summer afternoons, visitors can hang long hammocks across coconut trees and bamboo groves to relax, enjoying the creaking sounds of the bamboo intertwining and the cool breeze blowing from the canal. It is this fresh and romantic atmosphere that attracts dozens of regulars and families every weekend.

The Lang Tre fishing lake area has a system of interconnected lakes and is close to a canal, so the water flows in and out frequently, allowing visitors to catch substantial "catches." These include catfish, carp, snakehead, or tilapia, with common catches ranging from 2-8kg each.

Tourists can borrow fishing rods and row boats for free.

And we often catch big fish here.

More specifically, the Lang Tre fishing lake allows visitors to use fishing rods for free. If they catch fish, they can release them into the water or prepare them into local specialties on the spot for only 60,000 VND/kg. According to the lake's manager, visitors here often catch quite large fish; if they catch a 6-8kg fish, they can prepare it into 5 dishes at a maximum cost of 120,000 VND/kg, enough to feed a family of 10 people.

Lang Tre Fishing Lake serves nearly 500 visitors every weekend.

To ensure visitors can enjoy their boat trips with peace of mind, the Lang Tre fishing lake area has many staff members stationed along the lake to assist them.

Experience unique culinary delights at Lang Tre Restaurant.

The cuisine at Lang Tre is considered the most "unique" among the fishing lakes in the Nha Be area. Contributing to this uniqueness are the restaurant's signature dishes such as braised ostrich feet with lemongrass, whole roasted or grilled wild chicken, pan-fried wild quail, grilled field mouse with lemongrass and chili, or authentic Ben Tre free-range chicken.

Almost every visitor to Bamboo Village must try the "ostrich feet stewed with lemongrass," the number one dish here.

For the past two years, Lang Tre Restaurant has consistently offered visitors unique dishes made from fresh, safe ingredients. Each dish, whether familiar or something visitors have never tasted before, is meticulously prepared by the restaurant's chefs, resulting in a truly delicious and innovative culinary experience.

According to Mr. Bao Hoang, a regular angler, "every weekend my family visits Lang Tre fishing lake to enjoy delicious and high-quality dishes from the three-star chefs here." He also revealed that he always orders ostrich feet first. He prefers them braised with lemongrass, while his wife and children like them roasted and served with bread. "The ostrich feet are braised to perfection, the skin is crispy, and the tendons are tender. Enjoying them hot with various green vegetables is the best. They're very good for the skin and bones and help prevent back pain. Since there are five of us, we only order three dishes, cast our lines for half an hour, and catch fresh fish to prepare a few more dishes. After eating, the whole family usually sings karaoke at the karaoke restaurant next to the lake, which is very fun and relaxing," he added.

The 18 karaoke rooms at Lang Tre are very popular with young people.

Every weekend, not only families but also groups of tourists come to Bamboo Village to hold gatherings, birthday parties, and wedding receptions in the lush green surroundings.
