Bao Loc City in Lam Dong Province is famous for the magnificent
Dambri Waterfall, immense tea and coffee plantations and winding hills
which exude the soothing dried tea aroma. However, if you look beyond
Dambri you will discover that Bao Loc also has the magical Suoi Mo
(Dreamy Stream) which is a great spot for a romantic trip.
About 14 km from the center of Bao Loc City, the stream is located in
a small rough alley in Dai Lao Commune. To get to the stream is not
difficult. From the center of the city, you can ride heading towards
HCMC for eight kilometers to reach old Dai Lao Bridge. Then you go
straight for six kilometers and will see a small alley with a fabric
signboard ‘Giáo Xứ Suoi Mo’ (Suoi Mo Parish). Nipping into the small
alley for about 500 meters, you park at a local house for VND5,000 for a
motorbike with the stream on the right.
There is no exaggeration in the spring name as the stream will amaze
tourists at first sight with very pure and cool water squeezing through
thousands of rocks in diverse sizes and shapes. The stream is totally
primitive with dense, wild trees lining its banks. Among the wild trees,
travelers will discover many strange fruits, flowers and lianas which
maybe they have never seen before. The interesting thing for groups of
travelers in the central highlands is stepping on the rocks to go along
the stream and appreciate the pristine nature. Amidst the long stream,
there are many big rocks for tourists to take a rest, play with bubbles,
chat with partners or even eat under the shady groves. After conquering
nearly one kilometer of the streams, tourists will reach a waterfall
with two layers. The fall is not imposing by its height but the water
stream is like a silver carpet exposing itself in the immense greenness
of forest all around.
There is a small lake under the fall where tourists can swim, but
remember to wear a life-jacket to be safe. Moreover, on the right of the
falls is a giant rock where groups can have a seat to relax after a
long walk and admire the beauty of the falls.
Unfortunately, there is not any food service in the stream but it is
near a main road so travelers should buy some snacks and water at a
grocery at the beginning of the alley or at Dai Lao Market near the
bridge. Normally people are going past this way to Dalat City but I
think it is worth your while to stop by Bao Loc and spend a short time
to exploring the stream for a nice fun day at one with nature.
