Discover the legendary That Son region
That Son, also known as Bay Nui, has long been associated with the legend of seven sacred mountains. That Son does not only have 7 mountains, but the land has long been identified with 7 symbolic mountains, as the spiritual center of the whole region. The story is also recorded in Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi of the Nguyen Dynasty to Viet Nam Tu Dien by Le Van Duc in 1972. The seven mountains mentioned are symbols of the supernatural, mysterious and special feng shui of this place: Tuong Mountain, To Mountain, Cam Mountain, Oc Nham Mountain, Nam Vi, Ta Biet, Nhon Hoa...
Ta Pa Pagoda - Famous destination in Tri Ton
After the mystery of the mountains and the breath of life in the early days, the semi-mountainous region also witnessed the intermingling of ethnic groups: Khmer, Chinese, Kinh. Coming to Tri Ton now, visitors can still see that harmony in the stilt houses hidden behind the canal banks, or the ancient tile-roofed houses inside the village roads shaded by mango trees, the bustling Kinh markets, the unique dishes that are no longer distinguishable as Khmer, Kinh or Chinese. There are also stories that have entered the memories of many generations of the community.
This race, with distances of 5km, 10km and 21km, is designed for runners to cross green palm fields, ancient Khmer pagodas and misty mountains. This is not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique cultural space and feel the quiet beauty of this sacred land.
