Hon Chong Promontory Nha Trang Landscape:

Hon Chong consists of two large rock clusters located on the coast at the foot of La-san hill, which can be created by the tidal intrusion on this hill. The large rock cluster outside the sea is called Hon Chong, consisting of a large square block of stone lying on a flat and broader rock. The rock face faces the sea with a huge hand-shaped dent.

Legend has it that, once upon a time, the giant man sat fishing here, there was a giant fish that took the bait away, he had to pull back, holding the fishing rod, the hand against the rock took the momentum to make the hand press on the rock and leave the mark as seen.

According to another legend, once there was a giant who came to this country to visit, meet the fairies on the beach, he stopped passionately watching and accidentally slipped, he quickly clung his hands to the mountain causing the ridge to collapse, kicked down, leaving his hand mark on the stone. The five-finger slippery footprint also left traces in the Suoi Tien area.
