[Photos] Pristine beauty of Con Son stream

Con Son stream is part of Con Son – Kiep Bac special national relic site in Chi Linh city, Hai Duong province.

The stream rises from Ngu Nhac and Con Son ravines, about 3 km long, winding in and out, forming many successive rapids before flowing into Con Son lake.

World Cultural Celebrity Nguyen Trai, who was attached to this land, compared the murmur of Con Son stream with the sound of a harp in his poem “Con Son Ca” (Con Son Song)


Legend has it that Nguyen Trai often sit on the Big Thach Ban (Stone Slab), covering an area of about 200m2 by the upper course of Con Son stream, to contemplate the scenery, write poems, and think about the country's affairs


Close to the Big Thach Ban is the Small Thach Ban, around 70 m2 in area. There, Uncle Ho reminded local officials and people to protect the historical relic and plant many trees to beautify Con Son pagoda upon his visit to the locality on February 15, 1965


The narrow stream is covered with luxuriant trees, making it wild but poetic. This season, visitors can take photos with eye-catching purple flowers there


Tourists have a picnic under canopies next to Con Son stream, which is 5 – 7 degrees Celsius cooler than open-air temperature


A large number of tourists inside and outside the province visit Con Son stream on weekends


Con Son stream is being restored for year-round flowing
