Nestled amidst towering mountain peaks that reach an average height of 500-600 meters above sea level, the road to the Heaven Pond – Fairy Spring unveils a breathtaking spectacle. As you traverse this path, let your eyes wander to the majestic Na Mountain, standing tall at an astonishing 1200 meters, defying the vast blue sky.
The Enchanting Fairy Spring
Originating from Na Mountain, the Fairy Spring meanders through colossal blocks of stone, akin to a strip of delicate white silk gracefully hanging on the mountain slopes. Against the verdant green backdrop of the forest, the spring’s ethereal beauty blends seamlessly with the azure heavens, evoking a scene both awe-inspiring and mysterious. With a remarkable length of 10 kilometers, the spring is adorned with rocks and golden sand, filtering the crystal-clear water it carries. At its source lies the Fairy Well, from which water surges forth to form the Fairy Spring, giving birth to 14 magnificent waterfalls along the way. Some of these cascades stretch up to 20 meters, their pristine white curtains resembling a gateway to hidden caves.
The relentless flow of water over time has sculpted the giant stones at the foot of the waterfalls, creating ponds of various sizes that rest upon these ancient foundations. Local tales recount that this sacred place was once frequented by fairies. Legend speaks of how the king of heaven raised the water level, causing it to overflow the well and cascade down the mountainside, forming the splendid waterfalls we witness today. It is believed that those fortunate enough to bathe in the Heaven Pond-Fairy Spring for three consecutive years will be blessed with skin as radiant as pearls, a countenance as resplendent as the full moon, and a soul as elegant as that of a fairy. It is perhaps these enchanting tales that lend Fairy Spring its mesmerizing allure. Particularly during scorching summer days, hundreds of people flock to this oasis to seek respite and immerse themselves in the sublime surroundings.
