Derived from the streams in the deep forest pouring out with 4 main waterfalls, each waterfall has its own beauty. Thuy Tien is like a fairy hiding in the mountains with gentle waterfalls winding among the thousands.

Coming to the scenic Thuy Tien waterfall, we will be released in the sound of the stream, watching the magical picture of nature on both sides of the waterfall, with steep cliffs halfway up to the sky, and countless flowers and butterflies. birds, animals.

Not only known as a charming painting, the waterfall is also associated with the old folk story of the Ede people. The story goes that: Once upon a time in an Ede village, there lived a young man named Dam Ji, with an extraordinary appearance, and his limbs were as solid as stones. Dam Ji is good at hunting, every swing of his sword is scary for all animals, but his personality is very hot-tempered and aggressive, if anyone goes against his will, he immediately punishes that person, so Although very talented, Dam Ji is not respected by everyone, on the contrary, his younger brother is gentle and kind, so everyone loves and respects him. One day, the two brothers Dam Ji went to the forest to hunt animals, but they had not hunted any animals but their mouth was thirsty, and there was no water in the forest to drink. While desperate for thirst, while holding the sword in his hand, Dam Ji got angry and immediately swung it to the ground, the sword hit the ground and the earth shook and a stream appeared in front of him, he shouted with joy. for there is water to quench thirst. He stretched out his hand and swung his sword seven more times to the ground, then, not far from the stream, the rock suddenly fell, shaking, and panicking, he immediately went to see another stream appearing in front of him. Since then, in the forest where the boy often hunts, there are two streams, the western stream is named Ea Dah and the eastern stream is named Ea Puč.

But these two streams have two different personalities just like the two brothers of the Dam Ji family. Ea Dah Stream in the West has the same personality as his brother, very brave and fierce. Referring to the name of this stream, everyone in the area is scared, if you come here to catch fish, find water to drink, you must be very careful not to be swept away by the stream, children in the area who go to bathe are often swept away by the stream. Those who come here to fish and praise this stream for many fish and shrimps can only catch fish, if they say that this stream has few fish or no fish, the stream will not give fish, even if they catch them all day, they will not get a single fish. . When the stream is angry, it will raise water to cause floods to wash people away. In contrast, the Ea Puč stream in the East is very gentle and does not harm people. Anyone who comes here to fish or catch fish will return with a full bag of fish and shrimp, so people call the Ea Puč stream a gentle stream. The stream is like a gentle and kind brother who often helps others, unlike the fierce Ea Dah stream.

Besides, Thuy Tien waterfall is also associated with a beautiful love story between the old soldier Ho and a beautiful Ede ethnic girl, both bravely fought against the enemy to the last breath to protect the village. protecting the revolutionary war zone, contributing to the victory of our nation's resistance war against the US for national salvation.

On March 3, 2009, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a decision to rank Thuy Tien waterfall as a national scenic relic.
