Priceless gifts of nature In Thai, Pu means mountain peak, Pu Mat is the highest mountain peak in the area (1,841m) and is named for the National Park. Rarely do any tourists conquer this mountain peak, even though they may have previously stood with their arms outstretched on the top of Fansipan. Pu Mat is beautiful in the majesty of the green forest, in the pristine beauty untouched by human hands. Coming to Pu Mat, visitors will admire the wildness of the primeval forest with the highest biodiversity in Vietnam and many outstanding landscapes. Coming to Pu Mat, visitors will admire the pure sangang forest, about 40km from the administrative area of ​​the park, about 100 hectares wide. This is an ancient forest, about 50m high and shady all year round, in Tam Dinh commune, Tuong Duong district. The nature here is magical with green foliage still dripping with dew every morning, and the sound of birds singing through the branches at dawn. Enjoying relaxation in the morning, visitors can immerse themselves in the cool nature of Khe Kem waterfall (also known as Kem waterfall) in the sultry heat typical of the Central region. About 20km south of Con Cuong town, the majestic Kem waterfall is 150m high. Many scientists doing research here have confirmed that Kem Waterfall is the most pristine waterfall in Vietnam. The road to the waterfall is winding, winding and bumpy. Maybe that will discourage tourists, but for those who can overcome the not-so-short journey to see with their own eyes a natural creation for Pu Mat, that person will certainly not feel regretful. Thai people call Kem waterfall Bo Bo, meaning white silk strip. Looking up from the foot of the waterfall, you will have the feeling of the stream flowing endlessly in strips of white foam, like an endless strip of white silk. Blending in that magical white color is a clear, cool stream and the songs of all kinds of birds. On the way to Kem waterfall, the impression that remains in visitors about the beauty of Pu Mat is the sound of water flowing at the Pha Lai dam (flower of heaven), in the red color like a poinciana on the trees on both banks of the Giang River (away from the area). administrative distance of the national park is about 20km). An almost rare strange thing in Pu Mat is that on small boats sailing on the Giang River, visitors feel like they are returning to true nature, where humans are just a small part of nature. Both sides are densely wooded and wild, with the highlight being the majestic limestone mountains, dotted with the colorful colors of Orchids and cool clear blue water. If tourists bring some fruits, they will surely meet Mr. Ton's descendants without fear coming out to "receive gifts". They will swing on tree branches, creating a scene like the Painted Fruit. From the intersection of Khe Diem bridge on Highway 7, go along the road to Mon Son and Luc Da areas of Con Cuong district for about 3km, visitors will meet Moc stream. Unlike other streams, the water here seems to come up from the ground, clear and flowing, dissipating the scorching heat of summer. In autumn, the stream seems cooler with the air. On the contrary, in winter, nature here gives the stream a miracle: extremely warm water on cold days.
