DNO - Nestled amidst the pristine forests southwest of Da Nang, Co Tu ethnic community-based tourism villages are emerging as attractive destinations on Central Vietnam’s tourism map.
Communal guol houses, gong dances, brocade weaving, heritage forests and the simple lifestyle of local residents create a distinctive cultural space.
Tourism is opening up new livelihood opportunities for local communities as well as contributes to the preservation of traditional values passed down through generations.
The community living space in Por’ning village reflects the close-knit lifestyle and strong community spirit of the Co Tu people.Viewed from above, the Bho Hoong village nestles beside a stream amidst the towering mountains of the Dong Giang highlands, creating a harmonious picture of nature and community life.The artisans and villagers of Bho Hoong recreate the traditional drum and gong culture, a heritage closely intertwined with the spiritual life of the Co Tu people.The moment when dawn clouds blanket the mountain ranges creates one of the most distinctive landscapes of the mountainous area west of Da Nang.Visitors experience the heritage forest of Po Mu trees.The community house serves as a venue for demonstrating, preserving and passing on brocade weaving skills to younger generations.Co Tu women continue to preserve the art of brocade weaving as a way of safeguarding indigenous knowledge while creating livelihoods through community-based tourism.The innocent eyes of the children of Por’ning village reflect the vitality and hope of the villages in the vast mountains.
