Ham Rong Mountain in Sa Pa

Ham Rong Mountain is an attractive tourist area in the center of Sapa Townlet.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).
Ham Rong Mountain looks very much like the dragon's head in the clouds. A climb to the peak is an excitement for all visitors. Visitors start to walk on stone steps, a winding trail higher up will help to see small streams lazily run through bushy foliages. About mid­way, visitors, taken by surprise, will be in orchid -gardens, more than 400 species are in colourful blooms. Then, visitors come to a mini plain of all flower (cam tu cau, trang phao, lay an and do quyen...)

If visitors come here in spring, the surprise will be greater to see blooming peach, plum, apricot garden. At midway upwards, there are ethnic cu1tural villages where visitors will enjoy art-performance by Dao, Mong or Sa Pho minority girls and boys. The sound of bamboo flutes by Mong minority boys echo far and wide, their dances, songs, folksongs sound strong and romantic that will leave unforgettable impressions. A little further will be a mini stone-forest where thousands of stone columns, pillars that surprisingly open visitors’ eyes. A stroll among these pillars seems to be a walk in the fairyland, then visitors proceed to the heavens gate, a beaten trail leads to the cloud-yard and a TV station. San May (Cloud Yard) is an ideal location to view the whole panorama of Sapa.
Poetic and grandiose Ham Rong is said to be a fairy of Sapa by its natural and cultural landscapes. Every morning, thousands of flowers are blooming; it's the fascination of Sapa. A visit to Sapa in summer is a good chance to view Sapa afloat in white clouds.
