    Thanh Hải |

    Gia Lai - Tourists can explore many interesting destinations in Tay Nguyen such as Chu Dang Ya volcano, Tan Son dam, hundred-year-old pine trees, Ha R'bau ancient house...

    Located in Gia Lai province, in the Central Highlands region, Pleiku is a name that is not too prominent on the tourist map of Vietnam. However, few people know that there are many unique destinations and cuisines for young people to explore.

    Ms. Ha Anh said: “For me, Pleiku is a quite interesting place. The weather here is pleasant, not hot, the roads are spacious, and there are not many places to play, but it is enough for a 2-day-1-night schedule."

    She shared that her best friend and she took a direct flight from Hanoi to Pleiku to avoid being tired and save a lot of time. She confirmed that the flight only takes about 1 and a half hours and booking through online applications makes the cost quite reasonable.

    One of the things that I like most about Pleiku airport is that all taxis have their prices publicly listed, so there is almost no situation of being "cut off".

    Regarding accommodation, Ms. Ha Anh suggests that people can choose to stay in a homestay, which is both beautifully decorated and cheaper than big hotels: "I chose to stay at May Garden - price 250,000 VND/room. The road leading to this homestay has super beautiful pine trees. In the afternoon sunlight, it looks like a fairyland, but if you come home late at night, it will be a bit scary."

    To facilitate travel, female tourists rent motorbikes at the homestay for 130,000 VND/day. However, she also notes that tourists should choose and check the car carefully before taking it to avoid choosing a car that is too old or damaged.

    "On the occasion when I went to Tan Son dam, the water was dry, so taking photos was not very sparkling. If I went early in the sunshine, it would be more beautiful" - she shared.

    Ha R'bau Ancient Church is one of the extremely famous relics in Pleiku. This is a relic that was present more than a century ago, representing the faith and love towards God of the Jrai people.

    This ancient architectural work not only has historical value but is also associated with many profound cultural and spiritual meanings: "The ancient church is deserted, surrounded by many butterflies, simple and quiet" - Ms. Ha He shared.

    One of the destinations that impressed her most in Pleiku was Chu Dang Ya volcano: "The characteristic of the volcano is that there will be surrounding fields that look like carefully woven fabrics, which is extremely eye-catching. Just going around the base of the volcano, there are many beautiful check-in spots."

    If you have plenty of time, you can also go to two famous spots: ancient pine trees and tea lake. These two locations are on the same route as the road to Chu Dang Ya volcano, so it is quite convenient.

    Ms. Ha Anh said she had the opportunity to taste two specialties in Pleiku: stinky crab vermicelli and Gia Lai dry pho. These dishes are very cheap, only costing less than 30,000 VND. However, visitors should search in advance or ask local people for advice on the best places to eat.
