#vietnamtrip Măng Đen, a serene highland town in Kon Tum Province, Vietnam, is often called the “second Đà Lạt” due to its cool climate, misty pine forests, and tranquil ambiance. Situated at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, it’s a hidden gem for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The journey to Măng Đen, via winding mountain roads, offers breathtaking views of lush greenery. Once there, visitors can immerse themselves in the unspoiled beauty of pine forests, waterfalls, and lakes. The Pa Sỹ Waterfall is a must-see, cascading amidst dense foliage, creating a picturesque scene. Visitors can also explore Đắk Ke Lake, perfect for a relaxing walk or a paddleboat ride. The region’s cultural richness is evident in the traditional stilt houses and practices of local ethnic minorities, such as the M’nông and Ba Na communities. Măng Đen’s cuisine is another highlight. The grilled chicken with sticky rice, cooked with local herbs, is a must-try. Other dishes, like forest vegetable salads and freshwater fish, provide a taste of the highlands. Unlike more commercialized destinations, Măng Đen retains its pristine charm, making it ideal for those who enjoy quiet and simplicity. Its unspoiled landscapes and mild weather make it a perfect getaway for relaxation and introspection.

It is a mountainous region that takes about 8 hours by sleeping bus from Da Nang and Nha Trang in Vietnam. It is a really attractive region with cool temperatures unlike ordinary Vietnam. It was a really unique place that was hard to tell if it was Vietnam, with a different culture from ordinary Vietnam, and crops unique to the mountainous region. Among the central mountainous regions, Dalat is already a place where most Koreans go, so I recommend a trip to Mang Den, which is the hottest place in the area! How to get there Take a sleeping bus from the central regions such as Da Nang, Quy Nhon, and Nha Trang (Average time: 8-10 hours) Prices It is much cheaper than tourist destinations because it is not yet fully developed into a tourist destination Travel within the region Recommended motorcycle rental Recommended activities - Cloud hunting (sunrise) - Pa Si Waterfall Recommended hotels Mangdiang Boutique Hotel About 25,000 won per night It is a new hotel, so it is really clean and has a good atmosphere Ratings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Vietnam travel

The pagoda is located on the road to Pa Sy Waterfall. In front of the temple there is a large parking lot, cars and motorbikes can be parked for free. Entering the temple is also free, there is no charge. The temple is very big and spacious. From the temple gate, there are many stairs to go up, but each section has a hut to sit and rest so older people can go there. There are many trees on both sides of the road so it is cool. When we got to the temple, it was quite sunny. There were many check-in corners around the temple. I went straight down to the waterfall so l stopped by here on my way home. I was quite tired from taking pictures of the entire temple, it's very large.

Completely different from imagining the sunny and windy land of Kon Tum, Mang Den tourism is likened to a fairyland with a diverse ecosystem and fresh atmosphere that is not inferior to tourist destinations such as Da Lat, Sa Pa. With pure, somewhat simple and rustic beauty, this is a land that promises to bring many outstanding discovery experiences to visitors when visiting. Specifically, the appropriate times of the year to visit Mang Den: During the period of Dec - Jan, visitors will also have the opportunity to see peach blossoms blooming at Mang Den, a poetic and impressive place that seems to only be seen when coming to Japan. However, it should be noted that during this time the weather in Winter is quite cold, prone to light drizzle. If you travel to Mang Den in February, you will see Mimosa flowers and Ban flowers blooming, attracting the whole forest. From March to June, purple myrtle flowers will bloom on every street here. If you want to see the golden rice fields full of seeds and enjoy the aroma of ripe rice, you can come in June - July. In August, raspberry and raspberry flower season are equally impressive. I would like to also recommend Tron (Trốn) homestay, esp for dog lovers. Nứa is cute and so are his bosses ^^
