veiled by the rush of water The government recognised Prenn Waterfall as a site of national beauty in 1998 In the Cham language, ”Prenn” means ”an invaded area” or ”borderline.” Several centuries ago, the Cham in the Kingdom of Panduranga on the east coast (present-day Ninh Thuan Province) invaded the land of the Lat and the Chil, both related to the Co Ho Prenn was the border area and also the battlefront between the two sides The Cham lived on the stretch of land from Prenn through D’Ran (Don Duang District, Lam Dong PrOVince) to Phan Rang on the coast The Co Ho, Lat, and Chil lived in the area on the western side of Prenn According to Chém history, this conflict took place in the seventeenth century during the reign of King Porome (1625-1651), who had great military strength and wanted to expand his kingdom westward into the Lang Bian Highlands However, the Co Ho, the Lat, and the Chil clipped his ambition The Cham occupied D’Ran for a long time Vestiges of the Cham dynasties can be
