Community House

 When travelling in a place, you want to know something must-see? Kon Tum is a province of Central Highlands, home to ethnic minority people. Their accommodation is a stilt house, particularly a community house is a place for communal activities.

Kon Jo Dri is one of the most famous and poetic communal houses in the Central Highlands associated with the childhood of children in the village.

Kon Jo Dri is a Ba Na village located on the Dak Bla River, in the Dak Ro Wa Commune, Kon Tum City. The village built a community house in 1977, seen as the most impressive in the region with a height of 16 meters and a width of 12 meters. This is a place villagers organise lunar new year festivals, gathering, exchange of gong (a kind of drum). Seen from a far distance, the house looks like an axe rising into the sky.

In addition to its position and magnificent appearance, the community house's scenery is poetic because it sits in the middle of hundred-year-old tamarind trees. Any village of this area has its communal house, the symbol and pride of residents.

Homestay at the community house gives you an opportunity to learn about ethnic minority people's culture, customs, and style of living. Children here are friendly, different from the usual shyness of other children. During the day, the adults go to work or on the field, the yard, the communal houses. Especially, you find the feelings of walking across a suspension bridge
