Located in the Hoang Lien National Park, Love Waterfall is considered one of Vietnam’s top waterfalls to visit. The waterfalls are approximately 100 meters (328 feet) high. Love Waterfall’s has incredible views and are well worth the visit.

The waterfall is open from 9:00am to 5:00pm, every day of the year. The ticket office is actually 1.1km from the actual falls themselves. From the ticket office, there are 2 routes to the falls - 1) the left side which is a hiking trail though the forest and 2) the flat path that runs along the river (the Golden Stream)
Fairy origin story
Once, a long time ago it is said that Fairies would bathe at the waterfall. One particular fairy became enamored by a young boy that would visit the falls and play beautiful tunes on his flute. The fairy would come to the waterfall to listen for hours to him play. Her parents, once they found out, forbade her to visit anymore. Instead, she came to the mountain nearby where she hoped to still be able to hear his tunes. Unfortunately, she was unable to hear him or even see him. As a last resort, she turned herself into a bird, where she could spend eternity circling the mountain peak above, and therefore listen to the boy’s flute playing whenever she wished.
