Ao Gioi - Suoi Tien is located on Na Mountain in Quan Khe commune, Ha Hoa district, 80 km northwest of Viet Tri city, 8 km from Au Co Temple, 15 km from Ao Chau, with the advantage of being adjacent to the road, waterway, and railway systems, located in the overall development of Phu Tho tourism.
In the past, there was only the Fairy Well, where fairies often came to bathe every day. The Jade Emperor let the water in the well rise, creating waterfalls, and over time, more ponds were created. Anyone who bathes in the Ao Gioi - Suoi Tien for 3 years will have skin as white and smooth as jade, a face as bright as the full moon, and a peaceful and bright soul.

Also according to legend, on the morning of January 7, Mother Au Co went west to No mountain, later called Na mountain, and encountered a rocky crevice. She went up the rocky slope and met a group of fairies who brought her clothes down for her to change into and took her to heaven under the order of the Jade Emperor. The water where Mother bathed flowed down to the foot of the mountain, forming a stream, which later generations called Ao Gioi - Suoi Tien and whoever bathed in Ao Gioi - Suoi Tien for 3 years would have skin as white and smooth as jade, and a face as bright and beautiful as the full moon.
The stream originates from the highest mountain of Ha Hoa district, with a system of more than 10 large and small waterfalls that the locals have given names that are both rustic and carry the nuances of legends in the fairy world such as: Ao Gioi, Gieng But, Vuc Xanh, Dong Khong Day, Long Thuyen Waterfall, May Waterfall, Dong Tien, Thac Gio, Thac Ba Tang, Be Ngoc, Thac Chum...
Along the stream, there are also stone slabs of many different shapes with unique names such as Kneeling Elephant Stone, Lying Tiger Stone, Dragon Stone, Heaven Gate, Fairy Wings... The waterfalls are up to 20m high, creating very attractive landscapes. Some waterfalls fall into deep, clear pools of water, while others fall into sparkling, colorful pebble beaches, creating magical beauty.

The source of the stream is the Fairy Well, about 40m2 in area and more than 10m deep. From the bottom of the well, the water gushes up cool and sweet, forming the Fairy Stream. The Fairy Stream winds through many levels and steps, creating many vertical waterfalls.
Along the length of the stream, there are 14 waterfalls, some of which are 20m high, like white curtains, covering caves and rock niches inside. At the foot of the high waterfalls are giant stone slabs, which have eroded over a long period of time, forming small ponds with the bottom of the pond being a whole slab of stone, creating a unique beauty that can only be found in this attractive eco-tourism area.
