The Suoi Tien (Fairy Spring) Tourist Site, about 20 km from Ho Chi Minh City to the Northeast, with its many beautiful landscapes attracts many visitors, particularly children.

 

On the two banks of the spring, which runs peacefully and looks like a soft green silk ribbon, 120 cultural and entertaining works were built among the romantic nature. Passing the Gate called Coi Nguon (Back to the Source) children can live in a legendary and mythological world with fairies, Goddess of Mercy, Ancient Capital, Tortoise Genie, and stories and folktales about national heroes. All that not only incites imagination and curiosity of children but also helps them know more about the national history of thousands of years and the treasure of traditional culture.

Following this, children will see the mouth of a giant dragon, which was built with cement and steel, sculptured and engraved skillfully and precisely. Along the body of the dragon the majestic history of the nation is depicted lively through symbols and bas-relieves. At the tail of the dragon is the symbol of a womb of hundreds of eggs that illustrates the legend of Lac Long Quan-Au Co, the origin of the Viet people who have built and defended the nation with their undaunted will and mutual love and assistance.

 

Leaving for the unique Frog Genie Stage, the children will watch interesting artistic programmes based on familiar folk tales, such as Thanh Giong (Giong Saint) who defeated the En invaders and Son Tinh (Mountain Genie) and Thuy Tinh (Water Genie) that shows the will to conquer nature of the Vietnamese people in the past.

In the area of the man-made spring, primitive forests were recreated with more than 80 precious woods, 100 rare animals, special fruit trees from the South, about 6,000 crocodiles, and an aquarium palace with 3,000 sea creatures. Suoi Tien is considered an interesting and useful place for children to learn about the nature and evoke their sense of discovery.

 

In this tourist site, there is a unique entertaining area with many adventure games to test and encourage the children. All children want to try at least once such games as a high speed car race, super-speed glider, airboat, riding a bicycle in the air, gliding over the lake full of crocodiles, beholding the Suoi Tien from 3 metres above or flying in the air in automatic Boeing planes. All these games are very safe for children.

In addition, the Tien Dong (Little Angle) Beach is a wonderful area. It is located at the western gate covering an area of 24,000 sq. m with many lakes, beaches and caves.

 

There are many artificial mountain ranges around the Tien Dong Beach and water from the mountains falls down and creates many imposing waterfalls. Castles and great sea creatures appear in the distance among cliffs that create a fairy scene. There is also a lake for children to swim, play and row or to visit caves and climb the mountains to view the landscape. The water in the Tien Dong is very clean and salty like sea-water because it is treated and protected by modern equipment.

 

Visiting Suoi Tien, children not only play interesting and useful games but also live in a fairy world with wonderful things, and whoever visits this tourist site will hold sweet memories forever.
