Now, let Vietnam Escape Tours help you explore the beauty as well as interesting facts involving this attractive islet.
Legend has it that the Jade Emperor, seeing Vietnam always being invaded by other countries, sent the Mother Dragon and her herd of Dragons down to the earth to help the Vietnamese fight the enemy.
As soon as they landed, they met at the right time when the enemy was coming, and the flock immediately split up to spray fire to burn the enemy's ships, and at the same time released countless dragon balls, piled up into thousands of large and small islands. Legendary stone, the place that ends up like a wall is extremely important to assassinate between heaven and earth, where it is set up to defend and beat the enemy.
The enemy boat did not expect the incident, partly because it was rushing quickly, partly because it was avoiding running from the Dragon, it was suddenly blocked and crashed into a rock and sank or shattered, the enemy lost their lives to fish and shrimp offshore.
When the enemy was overwhelmed, the Vietnamese escaped the danger of foreign invasion. The Dragons were about to fly to the sky when they suddenly saw a peaceful place, green trees, rich products and hardworking people. The mother dragon felt attached and did not want to leave, so she and her cubs decided to return to the place where the match had just taken place as a shelter and from here the dragons protected the people of Dai Viet forever.
Of all Dragon balls released was there one that later transformed into a giant pen, which is the But Islet nowadays. Thanks to this, the Dragon Mother wanted to remind Vietnamese people of always learning, practicing and cultivating knowledge. Only based on the power of intellectuality and use of talents across the country, Vietnamese people can defeat any enemy, and develop it into a robust nation. So, this is regarded as a symbol of education on the sea.
