There is one good benefit of Bakun – tourism. The huge man-made lake being created by Bakun hydroelectric dam is an amazing place to spend couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Along it long shore, were dead brownish trees, once as tall as 5-story building now stand barely few meters above water. It simply scenic.
There are few places along the once mighty Balui river you can visit. But the closest, probably best – is Belanum waterfall. Once inaccessible to many – it is now only 30-minutes boat ride away from Bakun dam site on a long boat.
“It offers a lot of tourism opportunities and should be fully developed to help the local,” said Jean-Francois Bijon, a France Ambassador to Ivory Coast who visited the site recently.
