Street festivals will be held next Thursday and Friday along Highway 24, featuring parades, gong performances, Xoang dancing, and cultural exchanges.
Over the course of a week starting Saturday, Mang Den will also host agricultural and herbal markets, and a food fair selling vegetables, tubers, fruits, medicinal herbs, and OCOP (One Commune, One Product) items in-person and online.
Visitors can explore eco-tourism destinations like Pa Sy waterfall, taste locally grown coffee, experience indigenous cultural spaces, and attend a painting workshop called “Mang Den in My Eyes.”
Accommodations in Mang Den are nearly fully booked for the holiday. Hotels and homestays with refurbished rooms, upgraded services, and increased staffing have launched promotional offers. Environmental sanitation, food safety, and fire prevention measures have been prioritized.
Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang, owner of Soc’s House, said, “Now all our rooms are fully booked. We’ve prepared food services and experience packages for our guests.”
Nguyen Thi Phuong from Hai Phong city said, “The weather is cool, the environment is clean, and local tourism providers are thoughtful, friendly, and enthusiastic. It gives me a very positive feeling. I will definitely come back.”
According to the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mang Den welcomed more than 1.7 million visitors in the first quarter of 2026, up 41% year-on-year. International arrivals rose 51% to more than 28,000.
Amid this growth, Mang Den has emerged as a standout destination which has continuously hosted large-scale events since the start of the year, including Mang Den Culture and Tourism Week and Cherry Blossom Season 2026.
The development of “forest-to-sea” travel routes linking Mang Den with Ly Son island and the coastal town of Sa Huynh has begun to pay off.
Nguyen Hoang Giang, Chairman of the Quang Ngai provincial People’s Committee, said, “Mang Den is one of the areas in Quang Ngai with a great potential for tourism development. About 95% of its population belong to ethnic minorities. A high volume of visitors will boost trade and services. Localities need to coordinate mechanisms, policies, and procedures to better manage resources.”
Those heading to Mang Den this holiday will be rewarded with a memorable blend of cool weather, pristine landscapes, and rich local culture.
