Ngoc Thang shared that the name of the stream originates from a local legend. “The elders told that this place was once associated with the love story of a man and woman.

If trekking waterfall gates 2 and 3, it is imperative to follow a tour or guide because the road is quite winding.
“To book a trekking tour, visitors should contact the property directly. I choose Hoang Nong homestay, which is about 3km from the trekking point to facilitate travel. The total cost ranges from 2 to 2.2 million VND/person, including tour fees, meals, round-trip transportation from Hanoi to Thai Nguyen, "said Mr. Ngoc Thang.
