Ako Dhong: village in the city
Only two kilometres north of Buon Ma Thuot city (the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak), Ako Dhong holds the hidden beauty of atraditional village of the E De ethnic group. We were amazed to find a traditional village still thriving in a modern city. Now, the 62ha village has around more than 247 households who make a living from brocade, ruou can (wine drunk out of a jar through straws)and handicraft products. The village has a peaceful vibe, and the roadsare clean and spacious. In front of each long house is a garden with manytrees. VNA Photo: Thanh Tùng
