Nha Trang, Vietnam

Hon Chong-Hon Vo is an unusual place that is particularly suitable for couples. The park’s name can be roughly translated as “husband stone – wife stone”. This place is often considered a stone garden, but stones form a big pile in Hon Chong-Hon Vo. What is so particular about this place? According to a local legend, a wizard giant was once sitting behind stones and secretly watching a mermaid who was swimming in the local water. The giant was really big and he was madly in love with the half-girl and half-fish creature. In order not to scare his love with a random movement, the giant was resting his hand on a stone, and the print of his palm has remained on the stones.
Local people have many interesting traditions associated with the “husband stone – wife stone”. All couples, who decide to marry, come to this place to sit on one of the stones. According to local beliefs, every couple that sits at least some time on the giant’s imprint will be happy in the marriage and will make a good family.
