Why Ba Be Jungle House

Here is the story…
Ba Be Jungle Houses, flashback
Mr Linh was born in the shade of a tea bush on a cool, misty November morning, eager to face the world. He grew up in the rice fields of Phu Tho Province, mowing grass for his grandfather's buffalo and working in the rice fields. Linh's curiosity for the world grew as he grew older, and he aspired to be a tour guide. He had a dream : meeting people from all over the world and introducing them to his country's wonderful landscapes and cultures. He made his initial steps toward his aspirations when he was 19, traveling to Hanoi to study tourism at a university and learn English. Linh worked hard to pay his studies, working in local eateries and as a builder and welder, giving him great expertise when it came to setting up his homestay.
Linh chose to get away from the bustling city during his undergraduate years and traveled to the exquisite shores of Ba Be Lake, where he was welcomed by the apparition of two ghosts who would transform his life. The first was the spirit of Ba Be Lake and Ba Be Park, who captured his imagination, and the second was the Green Fairy, a lovely Tay girl who captured his heart. He first spotted her in a dug-out boat on the calm lake waters, her long dress almost kissing the water. He was intrigued by her, and he could see her allure and beauty reflected in the breathtaking surroundings.
From that moment on, he knew he would devote his life to this woman and build a house and future for them in Ba Be. Linh began planning his dream endeavor, requesting permission from the government to launch a tourism business in Ba Be National Park, fueled by love and passion for his new home and wife. His goal was to establish a tourism organization that would not only share the beauty of Ba Be with the rest of the globe, but would also help the local communities.
