Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Duy Khanh (born in 1998, Quang Ngai ) said that he was invited by friends to go to the rice warehouses in Mang Den to take photos. When he arrived and saw the row of small, poetic stilt houses, he was extremely excited.

"The image of a small, pretty and poetic traditional rice warehouse is truly a unique check-in location. The people here are friendly, willing to show directions and chat with tourists, making my experience even more enjoyable," he shared.

Kon Tu Ma village is a small village on the banks of the Dak S'Nghe River. The granaries in the village were originally the place where the Xo Dang people stored their food. The granaries were built of wood and bamboo, with corrugated iron roofs, and were located close together along the mountainside.

For the people, this is not only a structure to store food but also has cultural significance and pride in abundance and prosperity.

Mr. Hoang - who is known to many tourists as Hoang Tour Mang Den - said that the traditional rice granaries of the Xo Dang people have only recently received the attention of tourists. This makes him very happy.

Mr. Hoang has been working as a photographer in the Central Highlands for 4 years. In the past time, he has accompanied many groups of tourists to explore Kon Tu Ma village, and at the same time supported tourists who wanted to stay in the village.

"People here do community tourism in a simple, natural way, contributing to local development. So whenever there is a place that is loved by tourists, I feel happy and joyful," Mr. Hoang shared.

According to him, what makes the rice granaries in the village attractive is the beauty of their primitiveness as well as the traditional culture of ethnic minorities.

"The rice granaries here have existed for a long time, closely associated with each Xo Dang family. Currently, there are still dozens of rice granaries lined up next to each other, creating a scene that is hard to find elsewhere. Tourists can freely take pictures, free of charge. It is this simplicity that makes Mang Den so attractive," said Mr. Hoang.

In addition to the rice warehouse, Mr. Hoang often takes visitors to explore waterfalls, pine forests and villages that still retain their traditional features. According to him, the end of the year is the best time to visit Mang Den, when the weather is sunny but still cool, very suitable for walking and taking photos.
