Today, the national park remains a popular summer escape for the Vietnamese, who come to enjoy its refreshing temperatures, lush jungle scenery, and beautiful mountain landscapes.

It is more than 300 meters high and 20-30 meters wide, and it is amazing to watch the silver water running against the bright red water-rail flowers.
