Kon Tum, Mountainous province in Central Highlands, Vietnam

The Kon Tum province extends across 9,677 square kilometers, featuring rolling hills, fertile valleys, and rivers including the Dak Bla and Se San waterways.

French missionaries established the first Christian settlement in Kon Tum between 1841 and 1850, leading to the creation of an administrative center by 1893.

The region contains ten administrative districts where twenty different ethnic groups maintain their traditions, including the Ba Na people who named this territory.

Travelers reach Kon Tum through road connections from Da Nang, finding accommodations ranging from basic guesthouses to mid-range hotels throughout the province.

The Rong Houses, traditional communal structures of the local ethnic groups, stand on tall stilts and feature characteristic high, sloping roofs reaching toward the sky.
