Located at an altitude of over 1,200 m above sea level, Mang Den commune, Quang Ngai province (formerly Kon Tum province) is likened to a "miniature Da Lat" of the Central Highlands thanks to its cool climate all year round, vast pine forests and pristine, peaceful beauty.
Pa Sy Waterfall
Pa Sy Waterfall is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Mang Den. Located in the primeval forest at an altitude of about 1,500m, the waterfall impresses with its white water flowing down from high cliffs, creating a scene that is both majestic and poetic.
The name Pa Sy originates from "Pau Suh", meaning three large streams combined into a waterfall. Surrounding this area is an ecological space of about 25 hectares with many items such as a communal house, cultural display area, flower garden, vegetable farm and handicraft area.
Coming here, visitors can walk under the trees, listen to the sound of water flowing through the mountains and forests and enjoy the typical cool atmosphere of Mang Den. Early in the morning, the mist covering the waterfall makes the scenery even more magical.
Dak Ke Lake
Located right in the center of Mang Den commune, Dak Ke Lake is a suitable stop for those who want to find relaxation. The lake's old name was Toong Ro Poong, about 3 hectares wide.
Currently, the lake area is invested in many entertainment services such as rowing boats, pedaling ducks, fishing and sightseeing cafes. Some tourists choose to rent horse-drawn carriages or buffalo carts to stroll around the lake, feeling the slow pace of life in the highlands.
If you go in the summer, you can see a series of purple phoenix trees blooming, and in the winter are cherry blossoms.
Vi Ro Ngheo Village
Vi Ro Ngheo village has about 64 households and 300 people, 100% of whom are Xo Dang ethnic people living concentrated together, forming a miniature society of ethnic minorities.

Thousands of cymbidium orchids with all colors of yellow, pink, brown, and green are placed in front of the porch, along the walkways or on the hillsides, creating a colorful scene amidst the green background of the mountains and forests.
