Ham Rong mountain is located in center of Sapa Townlet, 33km from Lao Cai
city. Ham Rong mountain is an attractive tourist area
Sapa.
Legend has it that in
the distance past, all animals lived
together in a chaotic environment. One
day, Jade Emperor gave an order that
every species of animal had to find for
them an area to live. Having heard the
order, they scrambled for a place to
reside. The three brothers of dragon who
were living in a large lake hurriedly
ran to the east but could not find any
place; they then ran to the west. The two older brothers ran fast and came to the destination first. The youngest brother ran slowly and strayed into the crowds of lions, tigers and big cats. Fearing that these animals would attack it, the dragon opened its mouth to defense itself. At that time, the order of Jade Emperor was no longer available, so the three dragons petrified. The two older dragons, which were waiting for their brother, face Lao Cai City, and the youngest one raising its head and opening mouth faces the Hoang Lien Mountain Range. So the mountain is named Ham Rong (Jaw of Dragon). |
