Dray Thuong Waterfall (Gia Long Waterfall)

Dray Thuong Waterfall (Gia Long Waterfall)

Dray Thuong Waterfall is located on the Ea Krong River, next to Kuop Buon in Ea Na commune, Krong Ana district, 18km south of Buon Ma Thuot city center. From a distance, Dray Thuong Waterfall stands out a white color on the silver water of the Ea Krong River. The two sides of the river are a vast green of the mountains. Right at the waterfall area, a very majestic image, strong impression that is the image of the Ea Krong river, with the water floating on the upstream, suddenly folded by a stone shelf across the river, about 70m wide. The rushing water in the abyss is about 08m high, echoing a corner of the forest. In the rainy season, the water is filled with the river, we only see a giant, intense waterfall. However, in the dry season, the water flow is completely, forming 09 different large and small waterfalls. Of the 09 waterfalls, there are 05 waterfalls located in the middle of the river from 05 to 10m apart, there is a rumbling water, but there is a gently murmuring water. Dray Thuong Waterfall has since become the love and attachment of the indigenous people here. Expressed through the ancient ancient story of the Ede people full of poetic, about the legend of this Thuong Sung Waterfall. The story says: In ancient times, in an Ede village, there was a very beautiful girl named H’mi, she loved a tall, healthy and gentle boy. Every day, the couple often invite each other to work. One day, after finishing the field, the two invited each other to rest on a rock under the ancient tree. When they were sweating and sweating, they saw a monster, their heads were as big as the mountain, their eyes were like a copper pot, a long beard with their arms, her hair was as sharp as the name, the whole body covered with a white scales, sparkling like silver. The monster flew up to the sky and suddenly fell to the ground like crows grabbing the bait, his legs kicked hard to make a large land sinking and there a giant water column sprayed violently, dragging H’mi was terrified, and her lover was swept away. The boy like a tiger trying to pull his lover but despair, watching his lover disappear into the fog, and sparkling white scales. Since then, the boy turned into a large tree trunk, the root was deep into the rocky rapids, the body of a suffering person who was struggling. And the huge water column turned into Dray Thuong waterfall today. And, at the other end, H’mi was still loyal to crying and crying day and night to reclaim her lover. In addition, Dray Thuong Waterfall is also associated with the following historical event: In the 1930s - 1933, the French colonialists mobilized the people and political prisoners at Buon Ma Thuot's exile house very hard and hard under their torture, torture to build an arc cross through the waterfall along with the hanging bridge across the Ea Krong River. Today, we still see the two sides have two bridges that the French colonialists have built, this is the most convincing history of the cruelty of the French colonialists at that time, there were countless people and political prisoners abandoned the bodies in the forest and abyss. And here, it is also a challenging place, practicing the gods and the will of revolutionary struggle of patriotic communists. On January 4, 1999, the Ministry of Culture and Sports issued Decision No. 01/1999/Decision -The Culture and Sports Culture recognized Dray Sap Thuong Waterfall as a national landscape monument.
