Tiger grotto waterfall legend
According to a Chi'll legend (the Chi'll are ethnics living in Central Highlands of Vietnam), there used to be a very ferocious tiger living in this area, causing lots local people's death. Locals were extremely frightened and called the tiger by "Mr. Thirty." A brave Chi'll warrior with strong desire to kill the tiger to save his village, after several days of follow-up, did trap and hit the tiger on his leg with an arrow. The "Lord of the Jungle" ran deep into the forest painfully and has not been seen then. There is currently a statue of that brave warrior drawing his bow close to the waterfall.
To tell later generations about the legend, a statue of a huge tiger wandering around a flower garden was carved and placed near the fall. Next to the statue are sculptures of a tiger family gathering around the giant mushrooms.
