Tourists visiting the Tay Nguyen (Central Highland)
region, the country''s largest coffee cultivation area, will see the
beauty of ripening coffee orchards as the region is entering the coffee
harvest season.
With its vast coffee orchards, ruou can (fermented
rice wine drunk out of a jar using pipes), and gong culture, the Tay
Nguyen (Central Highlands) is an attractive tourism destination,
especially at this time when the coffee trees are in full bloom.
The world heritage Gong, a sacred and precious musical instrument of the
Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands) is likely to lose its original cultural
significance, a UN cultural expert warned yesterday.
