  • The Epic Song of the Stone

    On the Dong Van Karst Plateau, stone seems to have a destiny of its own. Children are born on the stone, young couples confess their love near a stone fence, people cultivate their livelihoods in rocky crevices, and when they die, they are laid to rest in stone tombs. The stone becomes a forest, a mountain, and a fortress, protecting the locals in their harsh lives and in their fight to defend the nation. The 17 ethnic groups living here have honored stone as their most sacred deity. They have transformed it into culture, wealth, and tourism products, turning one of Vietnam's most arid lands into a shining star of Asian tourism.
