About Dai Yem Waterfall
Dai Yem Waterfall is a well-known two-tier cascade in Muong Sang Commune, Moc Chau District, Son La Province, about 5 km from Moc Chau town. Fed by the Vat and Bo Sap streams, it is about 100 meters wide with a height of around 50 meters. Notable for its white, scarf-like flow in the rainy season, the waterfall is a scenic natural attraction surrounded by forest and limestone hills.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a broad two-level waterfall with an upper and lower section separated by flat terrain. During the rainy season the falls are wide and powerful, while in the dry season flow is reduced to smaller streams. The site includes viewing platforms, paved walkways, steps down to the base, and surrounding forest. The nearby Love Glass Bridge and flower gardens are within the same tourist complex.
