Legend has it that in the 40s to early 50s of the 19th century, when the French colonialists were stationed in Nghe An, they had to go everywhere, surveying geology in many areas to find a source of underground water pure enough to provide drinking water for thousands of soldiers. Some time later, the French discovered a source of sweet, clean underground water with abundant reserves in the Thien Nhan mountain range. After that, they built a water supply system to the military base. Since then, they have started using the water source here as daily drinking water. Over a long period of time until today, this water source is still used by local people and neighboring areas as a habit to improve the health of themselves and their families.

The water here is cool, sweet, and pure. People often come to get it for drinking or cooking.
