Location
Situated
South of Dam Thuy Pond in Phu Cat District, Ba Mountains (also called Pho Chinh
Mountains) is considered one of the most magnificent mountains in Binh Dinh
province. The whole area of Ba Mountains consists of more than 60 mounts
with diverse height and shapes. Ba Mountains recall to many a magnetic and
alluring nature picture of mounts, interspersed with lush valleys and watered
by numerous mountain streams. The combination of all these elements makes the
place an ideal location for eco-tourism and adventure travel.
What to see
Some
of the famous spots of Ba Mountains complex that should be named are Hang Rai
Mount on the South East, Heo Mount on the North East and the highest one Chuong
Mount (or Chung Son Moutain) with the height of 900m. Chuong Mount has a unique
round shape, which is often visualized as a giant downward bell (In Vietnamese,
“Chuong” means bell).
Visitors
coming here cannot leave without visiting Vong Phu Stones (Waiting for
Husband). This natural masterpiece consists of a high stone standing side by
side with a smaller one, identical to one adult next to her child. For hundred
years, local people have spread to their descendants a sad legend of Vong Phu:
the stones embody a young wife and her son, both of whom had waited for the
husband for a very long time until they all became rocks. The stones have ever
since been used to symbolize Vietnamese women’s fidelity in love and family.
Besides
the natural-crafted mouns, Ba Mountains also housed numerous historical and
cultural traces from Chiem Capital of Cham Kingdom, to Tay Son Revolution and
also a crucial army base of Vietnam revolutionists against French and American
colonialists. A visit to Ba Mountain in Binh Dinh will thus offer tourists
enriching experience and learning opportunity about both Vietnam history and
natural wonders.
