3. Extra tips for a great trip to Hoa Trung Lake

3.1. When to visit?

According to experienced travelers, the best time to visit the lake is in late autumn (September – October). During this period, the water level recedes, revealing lush grass and trickling streams. However, the lake is also captivating during the high-water season in April and May. In this season, Da Nang weather is very pleasant and the lake is full of water, so you can explore the entire lake by boat. You should aim to arrive early in the morning when the dew is still fresh on the grass or in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset behind the mountains.
