About this audio guide
This guide to Elephant Springs, or Suoi Voi, outside Hue follows a holiday outing on the second of May, two thousand sixteen, when twenty-seven students from a local high school waded into water that looked no deeper than a swimming pool. It traces what the stream's boulders and its name are said to owe to elephants once said to drink here, and how that ordinary afternoon swim on the Chan May coastline changed how this whole stretch treats its clear water since. Best heard standing at the water's edge before you decide whether to swim.
