Behind the familiar mountains's name as Fansipan Mountain - The indochine summitKy Quan San (Bach Moc Luong Tu) Mountain - Cloud heavenPutaleng Mountain - Deep into the JunglePusilung MountainTa Lien Mountain - Lost in the fairy forestLao Than Mountain - The land of clouds ... An almost forgotten mountain, it was discovered at the end of 2016 by trekker. it is Po Ma Lung Mountain - The forest wall of border

Po Ma Lung (Bach Moc Luong or Bach Long)

Po Ma Lung has an altitude of 2967 meters and is one of the peaks with a conquest route located in the VietNam - China border belt, in Phong Tho, Lai Chau province. The name of the mountain is also very interesting when it makes up the confusion with Ky Quan San (Bach Moc Luong Tu) Mountain - Cloud heaven. In addition, it is also known by another name: Bach Long (dragon white). From the villagers here, that name is associated with the legend of a dragon, it dived into a deep lake here and disappeared. Right now, that deep lake has been filled up due to the mountains collapse and created the extremely majestic dragon fairy waterfall.

And another special name, the first conquest team gave this mountain the Buc Tuong (The wall) for tribute singer Tran Lap, one member of band Buc Tuong. However, at the present time, Po Ma Lung is used as the official name of this peak
