(Baonghean) - Anyone who has ever traveled up and down the Lam River, traveling on National Highway 7, will surely remember a majestic landscape, a spectacular scenic spot. "The mountains are endless, the water is endless, the water surface is green, the trees are nestled against the green rocks". That is the scenic spot Eo Vuc Bong in Bong Khe commune, Con Cuong district.

Eo Vuc Bong

Eo Vuc Bong is located next to Bong Son mountain range, a multi-level terrace of Tran Ninh plateau, one of the roofs of Indochina peninsula. According to ancient legend, Vuc Bong is the deepest abyss of Lam river, where three dragon heads converge. One dragon has a long tail to the upper Lam river, one has a long tail to the lower Lam river, one has a long tail along the entire length of Diem stream. The green dragon was assigned by the dragon family to train martial arts for the carps that have lived for many years in the upper Lam river, the yellow dragon was assigned to train selected carps in the lower Lam river. The fire dragon in Diem stream is responsible for sucking water from Diem stream, spraying water into rain, creating Eo Vuc Bong into Vu Mon gate.

Every year, when autumn comes (around August and September of the lunar calendar), the Lam River rises, the green dragon and the yellow dragon lead their proud army to Eo Vuc Bong to compete in overcoming the dragon gate. This is the final "test", any carp that jumps and flies over the dragon gate of Eo Vuc Bong mountain will be transformed into a dragon that sprays cool, fresh rain to water the forests of the West more and more lush. Indeed, today, when coming to Con Cuong, if you have the opportunity to climb to the top of Eo Vuc Bong mountain, you will see a vast area of ​​water and mountains, the Lam River flows from upstream, from downstream, from Khe Diem, winding around like a swimming dragon. When the rainy season comes, not only carp but also many other species of fish from Eo Vuc Bong cross into Khe Diem and Khe Can to flood. Some people here do not fish with nets, but with their bare hands they still catch many big fish.

The ancients considered this a sacred citadel of the dragon family, so they built a temple here at Cua Luy on Eo Vuc Bong to worship and pass on to their descendants, past, present and future generations, to protect this rare and precious scenic relic.
