Arriving at the waterfall, any tourist is sure to be charmed by the wild flowers splashing out in all different colors. Song-birds welcome the new day in full chorus. The crystal clear water shimmers under a vast blue sky.

 

Known as Lieng Nung in the local M'nong language, Dieu Thanh Waterfall has been stood in the middle of mountain and forest since time immemorial, despite various changes of the surrounding scene and natural environment. Besides the biggest water column, which comes down from the height of 30m, Dieu Thanh Waterfall also comprises of some small other water columns, creating a thin mist that cools down the temperature at the foot of the rocky mountain. In the still of the night, the sound of the crashing water can be heard from more than 2km away as it reverberates through the surrounding mountains and forests.

 

 

When standing on the summit of the waterfall, the tourists can admire a part of the magnificent mountain and forest of the Central Highlands. Under the falls, there are several deep grottoes and inside them there have many large and smooth rocks for tourists to take a short rest. The tourists can also swim in the cool current, lie on the green carpet of grass beside the stream bank, or relax under the shade of the giant old trees and take in the untouched scenery. A hike to explore the dense forests on either side of the stream is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. During the wet season from May to September, the tourists can easily net fish from the stream to cook with wild bamboo shoots.

 

At the foot of the falls, M'nong and Ma ethnic people's villages welcome the tourists who want to stay for a night. By the campfire, the tourists can sing and dance with the villagers. And no one should refuse the ruou can (wine in a jar) drunk through a communal straw. A dinner of local specialties is a great way to converse with the villagers about the local culture and history.

 

With its romantic beauty, Dieu Thanh not only attracts the tourists in Dak Nong Province but also in other provinces.
