The most impressive in Cam Mountain is probably Thuy Liem Lake in front of Big Buddha Pagoda and Van Linh Pagoda at the top of Cam Mountain. Previously, Thuy Liem was only a dry lake until the rainy season when it was full of water. It has a relatively special geological structure. According to scientists, after many geological research samples, it is possibly a crater in the past.
Based on the mysterious formation of Thuy Liem Lake, on March 2, 2005, An Giang tourism industry started dredging and reinforcing it. After many years of restoration, the old dry lake has now become a sparkling and fanciful heavenly lake.
