Situated in the center of Sapa Townlet, Sapa District, Lao Cai Province; 33km from Lao Cai City, Ham Rong Mountain is an attractive tourist destination in the center of Sapa.

Legend has it that within the distance past, all animals lived along in a chaotic surroundings. One day, Jade Emperor gave an order that each species of animal had to search out for them an area to live. Having heard the order, they scrambled for an area to reside. 3 brothers of dragon who were living in a giant lake hurriedly ran to the east however couldn't find any place;  they then ran to the west. The two older brothers ran fast and came to the destination first. The youngest brother ran slowly and strayed into the crowds of lions, tigers and big cats. Fearing that these animals would attack it, the dragon opened its mouth to defense itself. At that time, the order of Jade Emperor was no longer available, so the three dragons petrified. The two older dragons, which were waiting for their brother, face Lao Cai City, and the youngest one raising its head and opening mouth faces the Hoang Lien Mountain Range. So the mountain is called Ham Rong (Jaw of Dragon).

Guests to Ham Rong have opportunities to climb up the San May (Cloud Yard) to enjoy the panorama of Sapa Townlet, visit the orchid gardens with beautiful and colorful flowers. Moreover, Ham Rong Mountain has many caves and stones in extraordinary shapes.
