The Dak Po Ko stream originates from the high mountains of Ya Hoi commune (Dak Po district, Gia Lai province). On its journey, the cool, refreshing water flows through mountain crevices, forests, fields, and rice paddies before merging into the Po Ko river, forming countless beautiful waterfalls.

Among them, the Dat Dai waterfall, running alongside the rice fields of the people of Kuok village (Sro commune), is blessed by Mother Nature, harmoniously arranged between the dry, rocky cliffs and the waterfall that continuously cascades with white foam day and night. Amidst the rough, dark rocks, a few species of wild plants and flowers with strong vitality have taken root, grown, bloomed, and displayed their colors, contributing to the poetic scenery.

The road to Dat Dai Waterfall is quite convenient. After traveling about 3 km by motorbike, visitors can park their vehicles in a local's field and then stroll along the cool green forest, listening to the birds singing and admiring the mountains, forests, and fields of the local people.

For many years, Dat Dai Waterfall has been a place for locals to relax and cool off after a day's work, and an attractive check-in spot for young people. Truong Quang Dung, Secretary of the Youth Union of Sro Commune, shared: “The Youth Union often organizes trips for its members to Dat Dai Waterfall for recreation, cultural exchange, and enjoying the fresh air. This is also a popular destination for young people during the summer. Dat Dai Waterfall is an attractive and ideal destination for those who love experiential travel and exploring pristine beauty.”

Mr. Dinh Pit, Head of the Front Committee of Kuok village (Sro commune), said: Dat Dai Waterfall is located in the Dak Po Ko stream system, with ancient trees on one side and the villagers' fields and crops on the other. For generations, the waterfall has provided water for daily life, irrigation of crops, and a source of aquatic products such as eels, rockfish, loach, catfish, anchovies, shrimp, crabs, and snails. "The aquatic species living in the rapids of the waterfall feed on algae, so their meat is very firm, sweet, and fragrant, providing a rich food source to improve the daily meals of the people," Mr. Pit said.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Dinh Van Luei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Sro commune, said: "Previously, the waterfall area had many swallows nesting on the high rocks. From then on, the local people called it Dat Dai waterfall, which translates to 'swallow waterfall' in Vietnamese."

For many years, on weekends, holidays, and Tet (Lunar New Year), a large number of people, including young people in the district, have come to Dat Dai Waterfall for recreation and experiences. The commune has developed a plan to develop Dat Dai Waterfall into a tourist destination and will submit it to higher authorities for consideration and investment support to maximize its potential and advantages. In addition, the commune regularly directs its cultural officials to coordinate with mass organizations and village heads to educate people visiting the waterfall to ensure safety and maintain environmental hygiene both inside and outside the waterfall area.
