The water here is green and cool flowing from upstream. Local people believe that in the past, there was a forest flower that grew on the banks of the stream, in the blooming season stretching on the rocky slope looked like a Tien’s hair, so people used to call it Tien Stream. In the midst of the intense heat of summer on the central strip of land, Tien Stream is a suitable place for tourists who want to relax in the fresh air and take a cool bath.

Le Phuong Tung, 21 years old, a visitor to Tien Stream to play, said that this is a beautiful place, the number of visitors is not as many and massive as other places, so it keeps the wild look. What impresses the Hue man is that this place integrates many things to experience during the day, such as boating, bathing in streams, eating by the mountains. He said, the stream is quite deep, estimated to be more than 2m, so it should be noted when bathing. There is a life jacket rental service. “The spring water is very clear and cool. The bathing area is fenced, so it’s very safe. The natural scenery of the mountains is very beautiful and majestic, so just sitting and watching the scenery can end the day,” Tung shared.
