The Tien Stream takes sources from many smaller streams, falls, and small rivers going down from the height of a few hundred meters. Running down steep slopes, the water becomes small rushing falls, digging into the mountain small ponds and lakes of all sizes – which are so calm and so clean that one can see their bottoms. At places where slopes are gentle, the water becomes a murmuring gentle stream. Running through valleys, then it becomes a small river. Along two banks of the stream are hundreds of stones of all forms and sizes – those having the height of 3-5 meters and imaginative forms. And the whole wild nature awaits tourists‘ steps going upstream to show its amazing beauties: beds of grass, huge old trees, stones with all forms, or beds of small yellow wild flowers under the shades of trees… The stream is rushing and bubbling in rainy seasons – in Julys or Augusts, but it is so gentle in dry seasons.
An old legend said it was a place for fairies to take a bath before gathering for feasts. Once, avoid being seen by the Jade Emperor, they left their footprints on stones hiding. And … is it why the stream was named?
