Khuon Than Lake and Tourist Area is an artificial reservoir lake located in Kien Lao Commune, Luc Ngan District, Bac Ninh Province (formerly Bac Giang). Constructed in the 1960s for irrigation, the lake covers about 240 hectares and is surrounded by pine forests and lychee orchards. It features five small islands with pine trees and is recognized as a local tourist area for sightseeing, boating and eco-tourism.

Visitors can expect a large freshwater reservoir surrounded by pine-covered hills and fruit orchards, with calm water dotted by five small pine islands. The area offers lakeside paths, viewpoints over the water, boat trips to the islands, and open spaces for picnics and camping. Facilities include lakeside homestays, eateries serving local food, and boat rental services. The setting is quiet and rural, with lychee gardens prominent in the surrounding countryside.

Khuon Than Lake was constructed in the 1960s as an irrigation reservoir to serve agricultural production in Luc Ngan District. It was later developed as a tourist area combining water storage, forestry and tourism, and is now managed as a local eco-tourism site within the Luc Ngan lychee growing region.

The lake lies in the Luc Ngan lychee cultivation area, a well-known agricultural region of northern Vietnam. The surrounding communes are home to ethnic communities and traditional farming villages, and the lake area is used for local recreation, festivals and community-based tourism linked to the lychee harvest.
