Kon Tum, Provincial capital in Central Highlands, Vietnam

Kon Tum stretches across a basin landscape at 525 meters above sea level, surrounded by the Dak Bla River valley in southern Vietnam.

French missionaries established the first Christian mission between 1841 and 1850, leading to the formation of an administrative agency under Father Vialleton in 1893.

The name originates from the Ba Na ethnic language, where 'kon' translates to village and 'tum' means pool, reflecting the indigenous heritage.

The city extends over 433 square kilometers and connects to Ho Chi Minh City through a 547-kilometer route and to Da Nang via a 292-kilometer path.

The Chu Hreng Mountain range spans 11 kilometers from Kon K'Tu Village to Sao Mai Pass, forming a natural boundary in the southern section.
