Thanh Chuong Tea Island

Thanh Chuong Tea Island is a scenic agricultural attraction on Cau Cau Reservoir in Thanh An Commune, Thanh Chuong District, Nghe An Province. It consists of numerous small earthen islands planted with green tea bushes surrounded by lake water. Developed as part of a local tea cultivation project, it is notable for its patterned tea hills, calm reservoir landscape and boat access, offering a distinctive rural sightseeing experience about 50 km from Vinh City.

Visitors take a small motorboat from the Cau Cau Lake wharf to explore the reservoir and its tea-covered islets. The landscape features neatly planted tea rows on low rolling islands reflected in calm water, with narrow earthen paths between tea bushes. Visitors can walk on selected islands, observe tea farmers tending crops, take photographs of the geometric tea patterns, and enjoy quiet lake views. There are no large buildings; the experience is primarily outdoor sightseeing and boating.

The tea islands were formed after the construction of Cau Cau Reservoir for irrigation, with tea cultivation developed from the early 2000s as a local agricultural livelihood project that later became a tourism attraction.

Represents the tea-growing culture and rural agricultural livelihood of Thanh Chuong District, where tea farming is a traditional economic activity and part of the local landscape identity.
