Y Ty is located at an altitude of 2000 meters, leaning on the Nhiu Co San Moutains which mostly are covered by clouds in a whole year. They are said that Y Ty is a missing paradise in Vietnam.

The bridge is located at the end of Lao Chai village, 10kilometers from Y Ty commune center. It also known as Thien San Shu in Ha Nhi ethnic language, which means “born by God”. The bridge used to very short,approximate 1meter. It was just a natural stone bridge spanning the ravine Lung Po. After a long time of geological movement, the stone is can not spaning the ravine, so they built a wooden bridge and after that is a concrete bridge. Looking down the ravine from the bridge, hundred meters of cliffs are abrasived by water. It has made many exotic types of stone. The waterfall is called Lung Po – Father Daragon (in Chinese is Hong Yan He) maybe because of that strange shape of the waterfall.
