American tourist jumps into lake in Vietnam's hill town Da Lat to save woman
An American tourist jumped into Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat of Vietnam's Central Highlands on Oct. 23 and swam out to rescue a woman struggling in the water.
In Da Lat, a hill town in Vietnam, a tourist from America, known only as Laszlo, jumped into a lake to save a woman in distress. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. near an observation tower close to the lake's main dam in Xuan Huong-Da Lat Ward, Lam Dong Province. The woman had fallen into the water near an observation tower by the lake's main dam.
Laszlo, identified as a 50-year-old man on vacation, swam more than 20 meters from the shore to reach her and brought her back to safety in approximately two minutes. The water depth at the rescue site was around 3-4 meters. The tourist's identity, age, and reason for his visit to Da Lat remain unconfirmed as of now. The management board of the lake's tourist area plans to meet Laszlo alongside local authorities early next week to express gratitude for his heroic act.
Tuyen Lam Lake, a popular tourist destination, spans approximately 320 hectares and is situated about 7 kilometers south of central Da Lat. The lake features small islands, pine forests, and one of its arms houses a flooded forest.
