Sound of gongs rings out in Central Highlands city of Pleiku

The Gia Lai Culture and Tourism Week 2022, which has just finished, is another effort by the central highlands province to preserve and promote its cultural heritage in association with tourism development. The event left a great impression on local people and visitors about the unique cultural features of ethnic minority residents.

On a cold winter’s afternoon, the mighty sound of gongs resounded throughout the highlands city of Pleiku. Sounds that bring a touch of the jungle were created by more than 500 gong players.

Street gong performances are one of various activities held as part of the Gia Lai Culture and Tourism Week 2022. Though small, it was attractive for domestic and foreign tourists. This will be a foundation for Pleiku to promote its heritage in association with tourism development.

During the Gia Lai Culture and Tourism Week 2022, 150 booths introduced typical products from the province as well as elsewhere around Vietnam. Products from ethnic minority groups in the Central Highlands and those serving the upcoming Lunar New Year, or Tet, holiday were also on display./.
