Every time they come to the South Island, people whisper about the Tien Well, Ong Doi Cape, or the slabs of stones with deep sword marks - all of which are woven around the silhouette of Nguyen Anh. They paint a vivid picture of folk memory, but you need to remember: the fact that Nguyen Anh used to hide here does not turn all folk traces into historical evidence.

If you are lucky enough to have the land to guide you, you will be bathed in the rain of anecdotes about Nguyen Anh scattered throughout the island. Be attentive to ask what is the episode that is recorded by books, which is the passage that is added by folklore. And no matter how curious you are when visiting these places, remember to ask for the route and absolutely do not infringe on the artifacts of nature.
Understanding the story in context
An anecdote, even if passed down by thousands of people, cannot transform a crack in a rock or a gully into an archaeological artifact. These stories show us how the ancients cherished memory; but to close a historical event, one still needs files, chronology, and serious research.
