Amidst the scorching heat of Central Vietnam's summer, immersing oneself in Vung Voi, Thuy Duong village (Loc Tien commune, Phu Loc district, Thua Thien – Hue) is an ideal choice.
Vung Voi – Ideal relaxation spot amidst rolling hills
Vung Voi is located about 60km south of Hue city, and about 40km north of Da Nang city. From National Highway 1A, passing through Thua Luu district, there will be signs leading to Vung Voi. From here, driving about 4km further west, you will arrive at the pristine blue lakes, and towering waterfalls nestled in the primeval forests.
Vung Voi is a cluster of lush green water ponds scattered over 500m along the edge of the primeval forest. The ponds are arranged unevenly like the steps of giant elephant feet, 'me' elephants.
Local residents often refer to Vung Voi by the name Suoi Me, stemming from the legend of the giant footprints of 'me' elephants, stepping out from the deep green forests to feast on wild yams.
In reality, to create the fascinating scenery of Vung Voi, the streams must meander through dozens of massive rocks, then cascade tumultuously all year round.
Visit Vung Voi to frolic in the clear water, with refreshing ponds, ranging from 1 to over 2 meters deep, yet still allowing a glimpse of the bottom.
At Vung Voi, travelers can rest in rustic leaf-thatched huts to enjoy local delicacies at affordable prices.
