Regarding the origin of Tien Waterfall, according to legend, once upon a time there was a beautiful Nung girl, with skin as white as peeled wild bamboo shoots and long shiny hair. Every day, she goes to the forest to pick bamboo shoots and mushrooms to help her parents. She met and fell in love with the son of the Forest God. Knowing what happened, the Forest God was extremely angry and tried to stop him but failed. Angry, the Forest God used magic to transform her into mountain rocks, her hair turned into this soft fairy waterfall.

Tien Waterfall is formed from Ta Nan stream, originating from the limestone mountain range in Ta Cu Ty commune, Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province, flowing through the villages of Ngam Lam, Nam Chien, Tan Son, Thong Nhat, and Nam. Lemon from Nam Dan commune, Xin Man district, then flows into the Chay river and confluences at the junction of the suspension bridge in Coc Pai town. Ta Nan stream has many large rocks overlapping each other to form a wonderful ancient stone field. Around the waterfall area, there are vast forests with hundreds of years old trees and tangled vines, forming an endless green vegetation. Looking down from above at Tien Waterfall, Gio Pass is like a strip of white silk, softly winding between the green mountains and forests.
