Hi dear Hivers in the Worldmappin community, today I will take you to a beautiful village of Mang Den. Located deep in the old forests of Mang Den, Kon Tu Ma village appears like a peaceful dot in the middle of the deep green forest. This is one of the villages that still retains the most original beauty of the highland mountains, separate from the noise of the city and full of the breath of nature.
Kon Tu Ma has a very special geographical location. From the center of Mang Den, you have to cross the roads through the primeval forest to reach the village. About 18km from the center of Mang Den, it usually takes me 40 minutes to drive there. It is this isolation that makes Kon Tu Ma seem to be surrounded by nature, becoming a destination that is both wild and poetic, very suitable for those who want to experience the tranquility of the great forest.
The life of the people of Kon Tu Ma takes place slowly and simply. In the morning, the sound of roosters crowing and the wind blowing through the stilt houses signal a new day. Men often go to the forest, to the fields to work; women tend gardens, weave brocade or weave, take care of children or go to the stream to catch fish, snails,... children play barefoot in the village yard. Everything is rustic but exudes a peace that is hard to find in modern places.
The villagers are Xơ Đăng, one of the oldest ethnic groups in the Central Highlands. They live in harmony with nature, considering the forest as a friend, protector and main source of livelihood. The Xơ Đăng are very gentle, honest and hospitable. They still maintain many traditional customs such as gong festivals, basket weaving, and building stilt houses. Coming to Kon Tu Ma, visitors not only get to see the scenery but also have the opportunity to experience the unique cultural values of the Xơ Đăng.
The beautiful scenery of Kon Tu Ma has the pristine beauty typical of the Central Highlands. The vast green forests surrounding the village, the small clear stream flowing around, blending with the stilt house roofs looming in the middle of the hill. The smoke from the kitchen in the afternoon lingers in the air, making the scene poetic, while the light purple sunset on the hillside creates a strangely peaceful feeling. There seems to be no trace of hustle and bustle here, all there is is nature and people living together in pure simplicity.
Amidst the increasingly strong development of Mang Den tourism, Kon Tu Ma is still one of the places that fully preserves the soul of this land. This is not only a village but also a cultural treasure, a place where people can return to feel the peaceful pace of life, to understand more about the Xo Dang people and to touch the original beauty remaining in the great forest.
Thank you very much for taking time to read my post. I hope you enjoy it and have a nice day.
