Discovering Ede ethnic group village in Central Highlands
VOV.VN - Located in the Central Highland province of Dak Lak, Ako Dhong represents a timeless village with hidden beauty that is home to ethnic Ede ethnic people.
Ako Dhong village which is inhabited by the Ede ethnic minority has existed for about 60 years. It boasts a number of traditional long houses and luxuriant vegetation and flowers.
The village features more than 100 households and around 3,000 people who make a living from brocade, rượu cần (wine drunk out of a jar through straws), and handicraft products.
Villagers continue to preserve the Gong culture and traditional crafts such as brocade weaving and straw liquor distillation.
As the village is both intriguing and largely untouched, it has been selected to become a community-based tourism spot in Dak Lak province.
In the past, Ako Dhong was nothing but forests. The village patriarch Ama H’rin was the first person to reclaim the area and turn it into a new land for the Ede ethnic community in 1956. The interior in all houses includes wooden products.
Carved statues which have ever been placed in the tomb have become exterior decorative items, drawing plenty of attention from tourists.
Long houses are part of the architecture of the Ede people, illustrating the cultural and spiritual values of the Ede people.
These houses on stilts built from wood and bamboo are long enough to house many people. Local residents here seldom build new houses to replace the old ones.
