The vast Hung Son mountain range

Located west of Da Nang, Hung Son commune is a pristine area still retaining the charm of the Truong Son mountain range. Forest-crossing roads, traditional houses of the Co Tu people, the sounds of drums and gongs, the Tang Tung Da Da dance, the craft of brocade weaving, and rituals associated with the sacred forest… all create a cultural space that is both mysterious and vibrant.
