Legend has it that once upon a time, there were a boy and a girl born from two different places of the Dong Van Plateau. And they love each other a lot. However, they are forbidden to get married by the two families, so they decided to leave home to come and settle down together in Khau Vai, a prosperous land with green plants. In honor of their merits in cultivating the wild land into a rich land, the local people built the two temples called Ong and Ba (Mr. and Mrs.) to worship them.
Another legend is that there was a young couple from different tribes Giay and Nung who fell in love with each other. The girl was so beautiful that her tribe did not want to let her get married with any man from other tribes. Consequently, violent conflict arose between the two tribes. To stop the blood shedding, the two lovers sorrowfully decided to part. However, they planned to meet once a year on that day, lunar March 27th. The place where they used to meet is Khau Vai, which thereafter became a meeting place for all those in love.
 Khau Vai has attracted not only young but also old couples of different ages. The market not only for people who come here to seek partners for the first time but also for people who love each other very much but cannot marry each other because of different reasons. The special thing is that although a husband and a wife can go to the market together to look for their own partners to share emotions.
