In addition to the beautiful natural scenery and attractive entertainment activities, Langbiang Da Lat peak also attracts tourists because of the touching legendary story associated with this place. According to folk tales, long ago there were two tribes living at the foot of the mountain - the Chil tribe and the Lat tribe.

Among those two tribes, there is the boy K’Lang from the Lat people and the beautiful girl H’Biang from the Chil people. While going up the mountain to pick wild fruits, H’Biang was unfortunately attacked by a pack of fierce wolves. K’Lang appeared at the right time and bravely saved her from danger. From that fateful meeting, the love between the two blossomed and grew over the years.

However, because the two tribes have a long-standing enmity due to a curse, their love is strictly forbidden. Despite all barriers, K’Lang and H’Biang decided to leave the village and go to the top of the mountain to live together to preserve their deep love.

Time passed, H’Biang fell seriously ill. Unable to treat himself, K’Lang was forced to return to the village to ask for help. But instead of helping, the villagers thought he was a traitor and threw spears at him. In an emergency, H’Biang rushed out to block the spear for her husband and died soon after. Too painful, K’Lang cried until his tears ran out, and those tears turned into a large stream named Da Nhim.

After the death of the young couple, H’Biang’s father, out of deep regret, merged the two tribes into one - today’s K’Ho people. Ong Mountain and Ba Mountain are said to be the resting places of K’Lang and H’Biang, forever together in heaven and earth. The name Langbiang was born as a sacred combination of those two names - an eternal symbol of a faithful love that transcends all boundaries.

You usually get back to town in the afternoon, when Xom Leo has been open since 3pm — see a day plan with LangBiang at midday and BBQ at sunset.
