Central Highlands of Vietnam Showcased as an Appealing Tourist Destination with Ancient Rock Field

Situated in the charming De Ar Commune, within the beautiful Mang Yang District and only 50 kilometers away from Pleiku City, this site is highly regarded as a top-notch tourist destination in Gia Lai.

The local community refers to this remarkable geological site as an ancient rock field, attributing its formation to millions of years in the past.

The rock field remained concealed until the construction of a hydroelectric dam obstructed the flow of the H’Chan River.

Many tourists expressed their excitement upon witnessing the magnificent large hexagon rocks, stunning small rock pools, refreshing water flow, and breathtaking natural landscapes.

The Don Hyang ancient rock field is around 50 kilometers from Pleiku City, the capital of Gia Lai Province.

The rock field also encompasses small rock pools, each measuring several meters in diameter.

Furthermore, located in close proximity to the ancient rock field, there is a magnificent waterfall that offers an exquisite backdrop for capturing breathtaking photographs.

The Gia Lai Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has devised a comprehensive plan to conduct a survey and analysis of the historic rock field, while also organizing captivating tours to attract visitors to this notable attraction.

To ensure a safe visit to the rock field, we highly recommend that visitors come prepared with appropriate footwear such as sneakers or slip-resistant shoes. Additionally, it is advisable to wear neat clothing and exercise caution when encountering sharp rocks along the narrow and winding path.

Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy summer bathing in rock pools. However, it is advisable to consult with local residents regarding the specific pools that are safe for swimming, as certain ones may have depths ranging from six to seven meters.

For the best experience, we recommend visiting the ancient rock field during the dry season. The early morning is the ideal time of the day to admire its beauty.

The call from Nam Giang

Image
In his memory, old Zuong Noonh from Pa Rong village, Ta Bhing commune, Nam Giang district 10 years ago was poor. However, everything has changed since the Japanese Foundation for International Development/Relief (FIDR) came to help the Co Tu restore their traditional brocade weaving. It also provided support to the local people by developing community-based tourism under a project funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). About 10 years ago, only eight women in Ta Bhing Commune knew how to weave brocade. Then, a traditional brocade weaving cooperative was set up with 40 members. The products are diverse with many beautiful pieces that are of cultural value to foreign tourists. Young Co Tu girls welcome visitors to Pa Xua village.
