Co To is a mountain in the That Son Range that is located in the territory of Co To commune, Tri Ton district, An Giang province.

The mountain is also known by several other names, such as Phung Hoang Son or, for short, To Mountain. This is a mountain located right in the middle of the large and rich lands of the Khmer people, on the border of Vietnam and Cambodia.

Legend of the name Co To

Regarding the name of Co To Mountain, according to an old legend, the place where the mountain is located is a beautiful land. That’s why the fairies are passionate about the scenery and often descend to have fun. The fairies often dance in the moonlight and play stone-throwing. After the full-moon night, people discovered a new mountain and thought that the fairies threw stones on top of each other to form the mountain. Since then, the mountain has been called Co To.

Some other explanations for the name “To Mountain” are that the mountain is shaped like an upside-down bowl. And for the name Phung Hoang Son, it is because the mountain looks like a phoenix playing in the middle of a rich plain from afar.
