That Son - Bay Nui (Seven mountain) region is blessed by nature with diverse vegetation and many beautiful landscapes. The scenery here is so peaceful that it seems completely separate from the outside world. This is also the convergence of the tribes. Groups of residents with different cultural origins, drifting due to chaos from many places, came here to live together for many years, becoming a unique cultural intersection point, still preserving many precious traditional values. related to many fields: beliefs, customs, practices, festivals, music, cuisine, architecture,... of Vietnamese, Cham, Chinese, Khmer.
But now, hundreds of years of culture is only displayed carelessly with stalls selling sketchy goods and clothes. The scenic beauty is drowned in shops and dusty roads crowded with people. Pilgrims only go there and back. People can no longer enjoy special festivals such as palanquin processions, singing, and lion and dragon dances because of the narrow roads.
