3. How is the legend of LangBiang told?

At the stele in LangBiang mountain, you will see the story of love story told as follows:

“Once upon a time in this mountainous region, there was a son named Lang, the chief of the Lat tribe, who loved a daughter named Biang, the daughter of the chief of the Chil tribe.

Because of the different tribes, Biang could not marry Lang, so the two had to take death to keep their love and to oppose the strict customary law.

When Lang and Biang died, Biang’s father regretted so he unified the Lat, Chil, and Sre tribes into the K’Ho ethnic group.

Since then, boys and girls of the tribes easily fell in love and got married. The two people’s graves became two high mountains next to each other and the villagers named this site LangBiang Mountain.”
