Hi Hivers,
Today I will take you guys on a walk with me to explore the mural road of Tong Ju village in Ea Kao commune, Dak Lak province, my hometown. As you may know, I am living and working in another province, today I have the opportunity to bring my friends back to my hometown to visit. And the mural road at Tong Ju village is one of the destinations I want to recommend to my friends because of its speciality. Tong Ju is a village of the Ede ethnic people, the most common ethnic group in my hometown. Whenever mentioning Dak Lak, people immediately remember the images of the Ede ethnic people.
The life of the villagers in Tong Ju village still goes on peacefully and idly every day. They don't seem to care much about the busy world outside, but they just live their happy lives.
Agricultural vehicles are the main means of transportation for local people and also one of their typical images.
Small wooden houses are also typical images of Tong Ju village. Although living in small houses, the villagers still lead a happy life.
Brocade weaving is one of their main occupations. They make their own traditional costumes.
As you may know, Vietnam is the second coffee exporter in the world and Dak Lak is the capital of Vietnamese coffee. So it is not surprising that the main income of the people of Tong Ju comes from growing coffee.
They also raise cattle and poultry to increase their income. In general, they lead a very peaceful life associated with agriculture.
When I walked around Tong Ju village, I had a feeling of peace. People here live in harmony with nature, so you will see a lot of green areas and trees around the village. The people here are also very fond of flowers, so you can see a lot of different flowers around the village.
And the main thing I want to introduce to you today is the mural road in Tong Ju village. This is a great project of Central Highlands cultural researcher Linh Nga Nie Kdam. It shows the life of the Ede people vividly through the murals. Just by walking around and looking at these murals, visitors can better understand the people, culture and life of the Ede people.
This is H'Hen Nie. She is an Ede ethnic and the first ethnic minority in Vietnam to become Miss Universe Vietnam in 2017. She is the pride and inspiration for many Ede ethnic people.
A typical image of the Ede with houses on stilts, dirt roads, grassy hills and lots of wind.
An image of the Ede people's activities, they are sitting together to drink can wine, a local specialty wine.
Hunting and taming elephants was once a famous profession in Dak Lak.
The image of a woman carrying her child on her back and working is also a common image here.

This is H'Ang Nie, a famous international supermodel. She is also the pride of the Ede.
This is the Communal House, a typical image of the Ede, where their community activities take place.
The Gong Culture of the Ede has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
The wharf is a sacred place for the Ede people, where they come to collect water to serve their lives. To keep the water clean, they have to conserve watershed forests.
I hope you have found interesting things and learned good lessons about Tong Ju village in particular and the people and culture of the Ede people in general through this post of mine. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Have a nice day!

Thank you very much for your visit, friend.
I love eating coffee beans when they are ripe too, especially arabica coffee.

Beautiful murals and love your storytelling through the photos and writing. Wouldn’t have expect to seen murals like this at a village. I’m too used to seeing murals in urban areas.
Thank you very much for your visit, @sizzlinkola
You're right, it's not normal to see murals in rural area, that's why I love the idea to have it here.
As always such amazing photos and a great read, really making us feel like we are there with you and experiencing life there
