the Fairy Stream

 

In Vietnam travel, whoever coming to Tan Thanh district, Ba Ria- Vung Tau province the first time has had strong-first impressions on the pristine and natural beauty of the Fairy Stream.

About 7 kilometers North-West of Ba Ria Town and originating from Dinh Mountain in nearly 500m-height, the Fairy Stream located in Tan Thanh district is called “the second Dalat in Vietnam” for its beautiful natural landscape.

Accompanied by the legend in the past, fairies would come here to bathe before returning to heaven. The trace of a delicate foot print, in a rock on a peak of Dinh Mountain, may have initiated this legend. 

From hundreds of meters height, the Fairy Stream falls down the rocky mountain, runs tortuously, and irrigates fields before dissolving in Thi Vai River. The Fairy Stream has natural and pristine beauty, which makes unforgettable impressions on tourists’ mind although they just have come here the first time. Along both banks of the stream are large and even rocks which tourists in Vietnam tourism can sit to rest or enjoy the view.  In addition,  there are many granite stones covered with moss and lichen.

More especially, standing in anywhere, tourists joining tours in Vietnam still hear the sound of the stream falling down from the top of mountain and forming rather deep wells with blue water. The stream has white spume in the rainy season but becomes the ideal place for swimming in the dry season.

Getting to the Fairy Stream, tourists in Vietnam travel should go along trail to visit small pagodas, hear sound of pagoda bell and smell incense mingled with fragrant perfume of tuberose and magnolia. It's one of Fairy Stream's specific functions.
