The tourists are going on the pilgrimage and doing sightseeing at the spiritual tourism destination of Thac Bo temple.
According to the legend, Ba Chua Thac Bo temple worships two female generals, Mrs. Dinh Thi Van, the Muong ethnic person, and another woman (the name is unknown) the Dao ethnic person. Under the reign of Le Loi King, the two women helped the people and army transport food and boats across Thac Bo to Muong Le (Son La) to quell the rebellion. After their death, the two women often appeared to help the people safely cross the famous dangerous and harsh waterfall when Da River had not stopped its flow. The people were grateful, so they built a temple to worship the two women, paying their respects and hoping that the two women will help and protect them from danger when they cross the river.
