From the entrance to Da Lat City, visitors can see two high mounts with sharp, harmonious and proportioned outline eminent in the blue sky. These are the two highest mounts of Lang Bian Highland at the height of 2.167 meters. In clear days, the two mounts may be seen in the distance of hundreds of kilometers.
The legend told Lang, the boy, and Bian, the girl, from two different tribes were deeply in love with each other. However, because the two tribes were enemies, their marriage failed and the couple chose the death to protect their love. All the wild animals from the highland forests came and sadly saw the two unhappy souls off. Particularly, the most loyal elephant lied prostrate to death next to the couple's graves. Since then, the two mounts were named Lang Bian. At the starting point of Prenn Pass you can see on their left a mount looking like an elephant head called Elephant Mountain.
