The locals here also have an interesting story about the “dong tree with red leaves”.
The story goes that in the past, Lord Ca Luong, the governor of this land, rode a dragon to the top of the waterfall, where he encountered a fairy challenging him to a game of chess. He won a pair of shoes that allowed him to travel great distances. However, his mother suspected his wife of adultery and to prove her innocence, the wife hid one of the shoes. The Lord’s journey to the capital with a fairy shoe and the other shoe covered in clay ended in tragedy, resulting in the red leaves on the trees.
