6. The Legend of Cu Lan Village in the middle of Da Lat
Cu Lan Village is associated with many interesting stories, but there is one story that is most widely circulated by the K'Ho people to explain the formation of the village. According to the local people, the name "Cu Lan" originates from the story of a lovesick young man. He was infatuated with a beautiful girl and wanted to bring her a "paradise of love" in the middle of the mountains and forests. With a passionate heart and diligent hands, the young man picked up stones day and night, building each small brick to build a dream house among the vast green trees.
The young man's infatuation and strange actions made the villagers call him "Cu Lan". However, the story of the young man's sincere love spread to the girl. Touched by his feelings, the girl decided to leave behind her city life to go to the mountains, building a home with him in the middle of the wild nature. No one knows whether they were able to build the paradise they imagined, but the small village by the deserted stream, in the middle of the green forest of wild flowers, was the happy paradise of Cu Lan and his lover. And since then, people have called this place Cu Lan Village. Today, the villagers still tell that beautiful love story through songs such as: Thang Cu Lan, Trai Tim Cu Lan, Cu Lan Mo, Lang Cu Lan.
