Especially relaxing when letting the fish nibble your feet. This is a small fish, living in waterfalls on high mountains. The fish can withstand very high flow speeds, so its head is pointed, its body is long, and its body is thin. The fish's mouth is specially structured, able to cling firmly to trees and cliffs.
This fish eats algae and plankton, but when they see visitors' footsteps, they gather and nibble at them like a massage technique used in many places.

With this type of massage, visitors just sit on the rocks, put their feet in the water, dozens of small fish compete to nibble the dead cells around the feet. After the initial tickling feeling, the whole body will feel comfortable and relaxed.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: “This is the first time I have felt this wonderful feeling. The scenery is wild and majestic. What I like most is that every time I step into the water, dozens of fish surround me and nibble at my feet. It feels so relaxing.”
