Ba Ho stream
is 25 km from Nha Trang to the north. This is a stream originating
from the top of Hon Son (over 660m), flowing between the two sides
of the rocky mountains into the fields of Phu Huu hamlet, Ninh Ich
village, Ninh Hoa district, then pours into Nha Phu swamp.
The stream gets its name in its supper stream, on the way through
the forests and mountains, it opens three times in width right in
the mountains into three continuous lakes.
With its beautiful landscapes, the stream
has been in many people's mouths and mind and bears many legends
told by the local people.
From Nha Trang, you can follow National Route 1A for 19 km, then 2
km of forest lane after turning left. Walking along the stream, you
will soon reach the First Lake. The surface of the lake is about 150
m2, lying below a cascade 5-6m high. Around the lake are
numerous rocks of all sizes and colors.Leaving the First Lake and continuing your way upstream, you will
reach the Second Lake after making your way quite difficulty for
1,000m.
Unlike he First Lake, the Second Lake is narrower and milder, but
with more "fairy" features due to its quietness. The lake is formed
by a big flat rock lying across the stream. The surface of the lake
is always tranquil like a huge mirror left behind by the fairies.
The Third Lake is only a few hundred meters from the Second
Lake, but the way is covered with bushes and is a little
challenging to visitors.
The Third Lake is narrower than the two others but its bed is
wider, lying at the foot of a small cascade beside a rock wall
with many tree roots and rampant vegetation. But here, visitors
may find in the age-old trees by the lake orchids giving out
their sweet and soft fragrance among the twittering sounds of
myriads of strange birds.
