An overview of the Bich Cau Garden Park in Xuan Huong Lake
The land with an area of over 6,000 square metres, which used to be a public park in the central highlands city's famous tourist site of Xuan Huong Lake, has been leased to the association since 2007 to develop a public park, organise exhibitions and fairs featuring ornamental trees, creatures, and arts.
However, an investigation by the local Department of Natural Resources and Environment showed that the area has recently been used asa coffee shop.

As the lease contract ended on January 5, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee decided to reclaim the land. The Lam Dong Provincial Ornamental Creatures Association has been asked to remove their coffee shop and return the land to the local authorities before March 18.
Xuan Huong Lake was the first beauty spot in the tourist city of Dalat to have been recognised as a national landscape in 1988.
