Not only known as a charming painting, but the waterfall is also associated with the ancient folk story of the Ede people. The story is that: In the old days, in an Ede village, there was a boy named Dam Ji, an extraordinary appearance, his limbs solid like stone. Ji is good at hunting, every sword of him is a terrifying animal, but his personality is very impatient and aggressive, if anyone does not mean his intentions, he immediately punish him, so even though he is very talented, he is not admired by everyone, whereas his younger brother is gentle and kind, so he is loved and appreciated by his people. One day, the two brothers went to the forest to hunt for animals, had not hunted any animals but the mouth was thirsty, there was no drop in the forest to drink. While despairing because of thirst, holding the sword in his hand, the hot ji swung on the ground, the sword had just stabbed to the ground and suddenly shook the earth and a stream appeared in front of him, he shouted happily because there was a country to save thirst. He reached out and swung another seven sword to the ground, then at the distance not far from the stream, the wandering, very shaking, the animal panic, he came to see the appearance in front of a stream. Since then, in the forest that the boy often comes to hunting with two streams and streams in the west, everyone named Ea Dah and the east stream are named Ea Puč. But these two streams have two different personalities just like the two brothers Dam Ji. Ea Dah stream in the west has the same personality as the British, very brave and intense. Referring to the name of this stream, people in the area are terrified, if they come here to catch fish, find drinking water to be very wary of air, which will be swept away by the stream, children in the area down to the shower are often lost by the stream. Those who come here to catch fish and praise this stream many new fish to catch fish, if they say this stream has little fish or no fish, the stream will not give the fish, can catch the whole day they will not get any fish. When the angry stream will rise, it will cause floods to get drifted. In contrast, the Ea Puč stream in the east is very peaceful and does not harm people, whoever comes here fishing, catching fish leaves with shrimp and fish full of baskets, so people call the Ea Puč stream as the Hien stream. The stream is like a gentle and kind younger brother who often helps others, unlike the ferocious Ea Dah stream. Besides, Thuy Tien Waterfall is also associated with the beautiful love story between Uncle Ho's army and a beautiful Ede ethnic girl, both bravely fought against the enemy to the last breath to protect the village, protect the revolutionary zone, contributing to the victory of the resistance war against the US to save the country of our people.

Cham Yang Prong Tower of Ea Rok commune, Ea Sup district, about 100km west of Buon Ma Thuot city, also known as Green Forest Cham Tower. This is one of the only indigo towers in the Central Highlands built in the late 13th century to worship Siva god in the form of Mukhalinga (great god), praying for the flourishing of the race and happy happiness. Yang Prong Tower, also known as the Green Forest Cham Tower, is a Cham tower located in Village 5 Ea Rok commune, Ea Sup district, Dak Lak province. Legend has it that the tower is the tomb of the head of the old Cham village. In 1906, it was found on the stone frame of the tower of the ancient steles of the Cham king in the late 13th century. The material vestiges around Yang Prong seem to prove this is a old manager of the Cham people in the Central Highlands. The tower is quite intact, higher than 10m, built of hard bricks with many different sizes. The tower has a square jar, the eastern lobby of 1.60m wide. The structure of the square tower, the upper point is like onions, different from the usual Cham architecture. In 1990, many domestic and foreign scientists came to and there were a number of tower research. The scientists all asserted: Yang Prong was built in the 13th century, proving about 700 years ago, the Central Highlands not only had indigenous people but also other ethnic groups. Yang Prong is a monument of great significance for ethnologists, history, architecture ... The tower was built at the end of the 13th century under the reign of Sinhavarman III (Che Man), worshiping Shiva in the form of Mukhalinga, praying for the development of the race, and happy happiness. The Tower of Prong was discovered in the 1904-1911 years by a French ethnicist named Henri Maitre. The scientist described this project in Les Jungles Moi (all forest) published in Paris in 1912. Yang Prong Tower is a red brick architectural block on a blue stone high floor. The tower has a height of 9m, the square bottom is 5m long, each outside is 3 fake doors, a single door opens towards the East direction, where the reign of the gods. Above expanded and soaring pen pyramid, different from the architecture of other Cham towers in the Central. During the war, the tower was searched by gold and mines, so it was much damaged. The tower is also not built on high hills, low mountains without trees like other Cham towers but lying under the ancient canopy of the Ea Sup forest and the peaceful Ea H'leo River. Yang Prong means a great worship tower, a god who specializes in managing crops according to the concept of the ancient Cham people. This is an unfinished project, because when building a tower, Cham people never build one but often a population. Currently, the tower has been recognized as a cultural heritage that needs to be preserved. Despite being embellished, the tower generally retains its ancient and solemn features. Around the tower is surrounded by many years old, quite dense, this is also a testament to the protection efforts of the local government. Not only is a unique artistic architecture, Yang Prong tower has a mysterious ancient Cham nuance and culture, steady ancient existence and sustainability at the same time. On August 3, 1991, the tower was recognized as a national architectural and cultural relic. Source of electronic portal in Dak Lak province
