Amidst the lively waves crashing against the shore of Sam Son beach, there is an incredibly poetic space that anyone visiting this coastal city would want to stop and admire - that is Hon Trong Mai Sam Son. The image of two stone slabs leaning against each other like a pair of male and female birds makes this place a famous symbol of Thanh.

When standing at the foot of the mountain looking up, the two stone slabs clearly appear with the shape of a pair of male and female birds entwined with each other.

Not only beautiful for the "strange" shape of the stone slabs in nature, but Hon Trong Mai Sam Son also carries special geological value. Geologists have studied and published that this is the result of natural weathering that has lasted for millions of years. Sea winds, salt air, and the natural geological movements in the area have created stone slabs with remarkably coincidental shapes.
Since ancient times, to explain the appearance and "soul" of the stone slabs, a legend has been passed down in folklore about this scenic spot. It is also because of this legend that visitors love and cherish the cultural values more.
According to ancient legend, there was a poor, gentle, hardworking young man who fell in love with a beautiful girl in the village. Their feelings for each other were very deep but were not accepted by the girl's family due to their different social statuses. Nevertheless, they still found ways to be together.
One day, when war broke out, the young man went to fight to protect his homeland. The girl stayed behind, waiting for her beloved to return. The war ended, but the young man did not come back. The longing for her lover made the girl go to Truong Le mountain every day to look out to sea, hoping for a miracle to bring her beloved back.
The heavens, moved by their love and loyalty, transformed them into a pair of entwined birds that never parted on the mountain peak. Later, the pair of birds turned to stone, creating Hon Trong Mai as it is today.
The sad yet beautiful love story has made visitors who come here have moments of reflection, contemplating the loyalty and endurance of romantic love.
