Staying at the altitude of 1,050 metres, Moc Chau
is a large highland stretching around 80 kilometres long and 25
kilometres wide with 16,000 hectares of grass field. Moc Chau is said
to be the place where there are the most of tourism resources of Son La
and the mountainous area at the North-Western and Northern regions of
Vietnam. The very special climate of Moc Chau is one of those
resources. In the middle of Moc Chau Highland, there exists a
sub-climate area with a cool summer with the average temperature of 20
Celsius degrees and a dry winter that make it different from other
regions.

From the three-way crossing gate Pa Hang, going by auto about four kilometres, following the main path or the way along the spring, we can reach the confluence of the two springs where there is a grandiose waterfall. The legend had it that this fall is the brassiere of the girl saving a boy from the flood. Although lying lower than the path on the ground, the two waterfalls fall down from the height of 100 metres; one side is divided into nine layers and the other is divided into five layers. Those two waterfalls stay far from each other at the distance of 200 metres and there is a plain ground which makes convenience for tourists' gathering.
