About 600-700 meters above sea level, Dak Nong Province has a cool climate. Fog is present most of the day, especially around Ta Dung reservoir, often dubbed "the Ha Long Bay of the Central Highlands." Photos credit: Zing.vn

 The 3,000-hectare reservoir boasts 47 big and small islands. It is at the top of the province's highest mountain, 1,982-meter Ta Dung.

 It is a home to a Hmong community who preserve their traditional living, clothes and culinary culture. They cook with wood instead of gas and hang food above the stove to keep it fresh.
