Tây Nguyên

location

Tây Nguyên ( Vietnamese for "Western plateau", from Chinese 西 原 ; in German known as the Zentrales Hochland , English Central Highlands ) is an area in Vietnam . It borders Cambodia and Laos . To it belong the provinces Đắk Lắk , Đắk Nông , Gia Lai , Kon Tum and Lâm Đồng . A large part of the population of Tây Nguyên consists of ethnic minorities such as Mường , Thái and Hoa (Chinese).

The role of the center is shared by the cities of Buôn Ma Thuột as the largest and Đà Lạt as a tourist attraction (also and especially for Vietnamese tourists).

The highlands play an important role for Vietnamese foreign trade, especially as a coffee growing area. In addition, other fruits and vegetables that are rarely found in Southeast Asia thrive in the highlands, such as strawberries, wine, practically all types of cabbage and even unusual vegetables such as artichokes and asparagus.
