There are 9 stone floors protruding from the top, so people call it 9 floors. In addition, the number 9 is also intended to bring luck and hope to this land.

Trong Hoa commune is planning to put these two majestic waterfalls into tourism. The biggest disadvantage is that the waterfall is far from Dong Hoi city, about 160 km.
Coming here, in addition to enjoying the beauty of nature, visitors can experience the different life of the ethnic minorities in the border area of Quang Binh, try delicious dishes from nature such as bamboo shoots, and stream fish, and admire the beautiful villages in the mountains. The romantic village is located in the middle of the hill.
The road to the 2 waterfalls is quite flat, mainly along the stream, so it does not require much effort. Some sections go through large rocky beaches, eroded by water to form stairs.
On the way to the 9-story waterfall and Toc Tien, visitors cross a dense bamboo forest, about a hectare wide. The bamboos are about 5 to 6m high, about the size of an adult’s wrist. The scene evokes the imagination of historical movies.
