"Elephant Falls, Vietnam"

If you stand on top of the fall you can see rocks covered in green that look like elephants from the the back.

According to the legend, a young couple fled from their families who were punishing the young lovers for being together with a member of a hostile tribe. Both of them abandoned their roots to be with each other. Hoping no one would find them, they went into the jungle. Due to sickness, the guy had to return and get medicine ... I forgot the rest of the tale. It didn't end well for them.

I found this though:

"According to K’ho legend, the forested area was once the home of a girl whose father was a tribal chief. She died on the mountainside upon hearing that her boyfriend had been killed in a battlefield; but before her death, she sang. Her voice echoed throughout the mountains and moved the animals. The girl then turned into a cascade and a herd of elephants, bewitched by her singing, were compelled to stay in the waterfall forever.

Even today, the area retains a wild and mystical feeling."
