Pleiku, Provincial capital in Central Highlands, Vietnam.

Located at an elevation of 740 meters, Pleiku serves as the administrative center of Gia Lai Province, connecting major highland transportation routes.

The city gained military importance during 1965-1975 when Camp Holloway became a substantial United States military base in the central highlands region.

The Bahnar and Jarai ethnic groups maintain traditional customs in Pleiku, contributing to the diverse cultural landscape of Vietnam's central highlands.

The agricultural sector of Pleiku produces tea, coffee, timber, and upland rice, supported by the region's subtropical climate conditions.

The city implemented an extensive school safety program across 31 primary schools, reducing traffic speeds from 80 km/h to 30 km/h near educational institutions.
