Folklore associated with Ao Gioi Suoi Tien

The landmark is located in the Nui Na area, carrying ancient legends about “The Dragon and the Fairy”. When Mother Au Co gave birth to a pouch of eggs that hatched 100 children, she took 50 to live in the mountains, while Father Lac Long Quan took the other 50 to the sea to expand the territory.

Later, Mother Au Co chose to return to Hien Luong as her homeland to live peacefully, but after a while, she heard the order from the Jade Emperor to return to heaven. The stream where people bathe and change clothes flows down the foot of the mountain, creating the famous landmark “Ao Gioi - Suoi Tien.”

Currently, the locals hold a large ceremony to commemorate Mother at the Au Co Mother Temple until the 7th day of the first lunar month. During the festival, there will be a ritual of bringing a silk ribbon to lay on the high branches of ancient banyan trees hundreds of years old, honoring the contributions of the deity who gave birth to mankind.
