While many tourist destinations across the country are facing the risk of urbanization and concretization, causing temperatures to gradually increase, Mang Den is still fortunate to retain the inherent wildness of nature.
This season, Mang Den is covered in fog, the temperature is cold enough but not freezing. Visitors can experience the small town in the clouds at an altitude of 1,200 m above sea level.
The unique feature of Mang Den is its decades-old green pine forests covering the roads and French-style villas.
Pine forests create a fresh climate and unique charm for Mang Den. Therefore, the commune government strictly prohibits acts of encroachment and illegal felling of green trees, even though many trees are located near or interspersed with residential buildings, villas...
Each pine tree is carefully preserved. Every year, Mang Den commune mobilizes people to plant thousands more trees to increase the forest cover.
Over the past time, the commune government has also organized a culinary market under the pine forest canopy. The market gathers many local agricultural product stalls and rustic dishes, attracting a large number of tourists to visit and explore.
Em Y Hien, residing in Mang Den commune, said: "Thanks to the food market, people have more jobs, create additional income, and serve tourists better.
As night falls, the market becomes even more bustling as people and tourists come to experience cuisine and enjoy music in the drizzling forest rain.
