Bau Tro (Vietnamese: Bàu Tró, Bàu in Vietnamese dialect means pond) is a lake in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. This lake is an important fresh water supply for more than 130,000 inhabitants of Dong Hoi City. But Bau Tro is more known for archaeological findings by French archaeologists during French Indochina periods.[citation needed] The artefacts found here dated back as far as 5,000 years ago, displaying important proof of human settlements in this area.
