Ham Rong Mountain – A legendary flowers paradise on the earth
Ham Rong mountain is known as an attractive travel destination in the center of Sapa Townlet. Shaped like a dragon’s head in the clouds, this mountain is nearly 2000 meters high with green trees and colorful flowers almost all year round. Most tourists visiting Sapa want to do the exciting climb up to the mountain.
According to the legend, 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. Receiving 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 (means Jaw of Dragon).
