The legend about tragic love

Khau Vai love fair originated from a legend of a beautiful but tragic love between a boy named Ba who was the Nung boy, handsome, hardworking and flute well and beautiful girl of Giay people – the daughter of the patriarch. However, they encountered the harsh opposition of the girl’s family. They said that the boy is not worthy to marry their daughter and that they did not allow their daughter to marry a person of another village.

Despite being forbidden, their love “flamed up” more and they had dated to escape to Khau Vai cave to live together. The incident caused the hatred between two families.

Because parents and villagers hate each other just because of their love, so the boy and girl broke up with each other and return their home. They swore that after marriage with another person they will meet again at Khau Vai Mountain on that day every year when they broke up.
