As of today, out of season, returns ~September. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
In autumn (the cooler, drier months after the summer rains) Ba Be Lake often develops low, slow-moving morning mist that hangs in the hollows between limestone ridges.
Calm dawns create near-perfect mirror reflections of stilt houses, islets and karst cliffs.
The effect is weather-driven and strongest on clear, windless mornings after dry spells.
