Dai Yem Waterfall – "The love string across the sky"

Dai Yem Waterfall is located in Muong Sang ward, Moc Chau township. From the Pa Hang intersection, visitors can follow National Road 43 for about 15 minutes to reach the waterfall, which is situated right next to the road.

Legend has it that long ago, there was a young couple deeply in love. Due to war, the young man had to leave for the neighbouring country of Laos. At the foot of the waterfall, their love grew stronger, and they bid each other a heartfelt farewell with a vow to wait for one another until they could marry. The girl waited for him in vain, but he never returned. Eventually, she transformed into a stone frog, gazing towards the place where her lover had left. The only thing left behind was a Pieu scarf embroidered with their names, draped over a tree branch. From the place where the two parted, one could see the waterfall resembling a "love string" across the sky. Since then, locals have called it Dai Yem Waterfall, and in Thai, it is referred to as "Sai Peng," which means "love string." The stream flowing down from the waterfall is known as Ho Hen Stream, or the "Stream of Dating."

For many years, Dai Yem Waterfall has become a popular destination and an ideal choice for tourists visiting the Moc Chau Plateau. It has been developed for tourism by Pha Luong Tourism Joint Stock Company.

Nang Tien Waterfall in the heart of the forest

Located within the Moc Chau National Tourism Area, Nang Tien (Fairy) Waterfall, hidden among the lush forests in Na Cha hamlet, Chieng Khoa commune, Van Ho district, is a must-see attraction for visitors. With its magnificent and poetic beauty, and easy accessibility, this waterfall has become a popular destination for those looking to explore nature and take memorable photos. Over time, the waterfall has been shaped by nature, revealing a stunning beauty that captivates all who visit. The cascading tiers of the waterfall rush down into the cool and clear stream, presenting a pristine, mysterious, and particularly enchanting sight.

Nang Tien Waterfall is associated with an ancient legend about two sisters, Nang Bang (Miss Bang) and Nang Muong (Miss Muong). Both were beautiful and talented girls from the Thai ethnic group, who taught the villagers how to grow cotton, weave fabrics, embroider scarves, play the flute, and perform the xoe dance. Because of their beauty and skills, the king sent soldiers to capture them and make them his wives. Miss Muong threw herself into the Da River, while Miss Bang leapt into the waterfall near their hometown. The waterfall has been named Nang Tien since then. This legend is also linked to the Hoa Ban (Bauhinia) Festival in Chieng Khoa commune, Van Ho district, which is celebrated annually by the local Thai people to honour Miss Bang and Miss Muong.

This site is currently being managed and preserved by the Nang Tien Waterfall Agriculture – Service – Tourism Cooperative. The cooperative has worked to maintain the natural landscape and invested in several developments, including a bridge over the stream, viewing pavilions, and stalls providing dining services for visitors.

The locals now still share the story behind the name of Tat Nang. It is said that long ago, a young couple fell in love, but due to war, they were separated. The girl waited for her lover to return, remaining faithful and refusing the advances of other suitors in the area. Upon hearing that her lover had died in battle, the girl sadly went to the waterfall, crying for many days until she turned to stone. Moved by her love, the villagers named the waterfall Tat Nang. Visitors to Tat Nang Waterfall can also explore and experience the Buot hamlet fish stream and the Phu Mau hamlet hot spring, hunt clouds in Na Bai, and conquer the old National Road 6, where they can enjoy the untouched natural scenery.
