The story recounts that in the past, there was a Hmong man named Tuan Tu, who had a good ability to blow mouth organ. The sound of the mouth organ sounded like a stream, chattering like the sound of forest birds, and ups and downs, making a heavenly fairy named Hoa Dao sensational. Having fallen in love with the boy, the beautiful fairy Hoa Dao escaped to stay in this land and married the boy Tuan Tu, they gave birth to a pretty boy. God was extremely angry and asked her to return to heaven when knowing that she fled to earth, married to a mortal. Hoa Dao cried and implored to stay here to support her child but no one agreed with her request. Because of loving her husband and child, the beautiful fairy left her breasts in this world to breastfeed. Later when her child was grown up, those breasts turned into two mountains shaped like milk breasts, that people still called it Twin Mountain or Co Tien Mountain.

According to legend, the milk flow of the fairy Hoa Dao has made the climate of Quan Ba and Tam Son extremely cool, and became an extremely prosperous land with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Her tears formed the dreamy, green Mieu river winding in the cat ears stone area and surrounding the land behind the legendary heaven gate.
