Dak To Pe terraced fields are a beautiful natural picture of the mountainous region of Dak Doa district, Gia Lai. This place carries with it the majesty and wilderness of vast, vast fields. So on your trip to Gia Lai, don't miss this attractive destination. Dak To Pe terraced fields are located in Trang commune, Dak Doa district, Gia Lai. The entire field has an area of about 50 hectares and is the wet rice cultivation area of the people of Kol and Ghe villages. Each year, people will cultivate two rice crops, in addition to alternating corn crops. According to the people of Trang commune, Dak To Pe terraced fields were formed about 45 years ago. After liberation, soldiers and officials came here to instruct villagers how to cultivate wet rice to have enough food to serve their lives. However, because this area is full of mountainous terrain, it is difficult to retain water, and the soil is easily eroded and infertile, so people have built banks to form terraced fields for easy cultivation. Up to now, Dak To Pe terraced fields include hundreds of fields of different sizes, located along two gentle mountain slopes, creating a breathtaking beauty, especially in the ripe rice season. Dak To Pe terraced fields possess a very simple and rustic beauty. This place is not as majestic as the terraced fields of Sapa or Mu Cang Chai due to the gentle terrain, the altitude is only about 500m above sea level. The fields here are also divided into quite small plots, with many different shapes, rather than running long like in the Northwest region. The most beautiful time of Dak To Pe Terraced Fields is during the ripe rice season. At this time, the fields will be dyed a rich and brilliant yellow color, shining under the rays of the sun. In particular, Gia Lai people cultivate two crops per year according to the weather, so when the rice is ripe, it will ripen simultaneously, creating a brilliant beauty and stretching over 50 hectares, extremely beautiful. The people here are very enthusiastic and friendly with groups of tourists who come to visit and travel. You can comfortably climb along small trails, watch people harvest rice, and chat with them to better understand the lives of the people here. However, because the terrain of Dak To Pe Terraced Fields is only slightly sloping, it will not look beautiful when photographed. Therefore, if you want to take impressive images, you must climb to the top of the mountain or take photos with a flycam to see the vastness and majesty. Located at the end of the Dak To Pe terraced fields will be the wild and beautiful Doi waterfall. The waterfall consists of two parallel streams, following the cliff and pouring down. The water source of Double Waterfall is formed from Dak Oi and A Dit streams. The stream flows through the Dak To Pe terraced fields, reaching the cliff, forming two parallel waterfalls, 20m apart. Water from the waterfall pours down into the middle of the abyss about 150m deep, creating a scene as soft as a girl's silky hair falling down. Although not as majestic as Kty Waterfall or Kleng Waterfall, Double Waterfall still has a very unique beauty. However, the amount of water at Double Falls is not too abundant. During the dry season, Dak Oi and A Dit streams will dry up, causing Twin Falls to lack water. Currently, only the waterfall on the left from Dak Oi stream is still flowing steadily, while the waterfall on the right has almost dried up, with only traces of the flow still imprinted on the cliff.

Mang Yang ancient rock rapids is also known by another name as ancient rock field in Don Hyang village. This rapid is located downstream of H'Chan Hydroelectric Power Plant, in Don Hyang village, De Ar commune, Mang Yang district, Gia Lai. The rocky rapids were discovered during the exploitation and construction of the hydroelectric plant. In just a short time, the images taken here have become extremely hot in Gia Lai review groups. Many young people flock here to admire this unique terrain as well as check-in with the super impressive background. In Gia Lai, there are currently three famous ancient stone fields: Mang Yang ancient stone rapids, Van village's ancient stone stream and the hexagonal stone paradise in Kong Yang village. All three of these rocks are of great significance in geological research, helping scientists learn many new things about the formation process of the Gia Lai region in particular and the Central Highlands in general. Along with that, based on professional documents and assessments of geologists, Mang Yang ancient rock rapids have a structural form and age similar to Ganh Da Dia of Phu Yen province. The ancient rock rapids at Mang Yang are made up of relatively regular hexagonal stone blocks and bars, quite similar in shape, arranged alternately in perpendicular directions. The structure here easily reminds us of a giant honeycomb, with many unique rough spots. The stone has a stained color as if it had just gone through a big fire, the color is uneven, some dark and light places are very special. If the rocky stream section in Van village was hidden under ancient foliage for a long time, Mang Yang ancient rocky rapids were influenced by the flow of the Ayun River. This river flows very fast, especially in the rainy season, the amount of water and its force can be very erosive. Hundreds of stone bars, over the centuries, have been continuously eroded by currents, combined with geological changes and weathering processes, creating the unique landscape today. According to research from scientists, this ancient rock field originated from volcanic magma eruption. Originally, igneous rock has tremendous hardness, so the force of the flow has smoothed the outside surface, making the rock blocks look like they are stuck together, forming large pieces with a hexagonal structure like a honeycomb. In many locations, ancient rock blocks also form large depressions, even penetrated by water, forming holes up to a meter in diameter. Since then, the terrain has had many more niches and caves of all kinds with different shapes and sizes. Currently, we still do not know how many ancient stone blocks there are below the dam or underground. However, according to the assessment and inference of geologists, the current exposed part of Mang Yang ancient rock rapids is probably only a part of the rock field. Over time, terrain changes can help us discover more interesting things still buried underground.
