Move in the city of Kon Tum
To move in Kontum or outings to the surrounding area you can rent a motorbike, car or taxi. In Kon Tum Mai Linh taxi, and taxi Vincent 060 3838383, 060 38585855. I saw Mai Linh Normal central area very good customer service, new cars and beautiful but the newspaper had recently reported that Mai Linh taxi drivers taking their ATM cards, so it's best you go back every so carefully fixtures, their luggage.
If you take large groups can rent cars go 1-2 days depending on his schedule in other districts of Kon Tum. You can contact her at the hotel to ask how to rent the most affordable cars.
In Kon Tum not prevalent motorbike rental service too so if you want to rent a motorcycle to play, then you should ask at the front desk rent or protection of property. Some hotels do not offer this service but would contact protective asked rented motorbike nearby to help you. Prices fell into 120-150k / day, Tipper gasoline.
However, the move by motorcycles here you should pay attention to some points:
Go right speed, when his shot went Highlands yourself right input speed Pleiku city should then going to his Kon Tum quite wary. Especially on the road from Kontum go Dak To, Ngoc Hoi has a lot of traffic police to catch speeding cars. But they shot the middle of the road but do not fire a "refuge" as in the North. But the Police in this area is quite easygoing. That day I had presented the car hire to go out alone, busy watching the road signs should not have to go too noticed a bit so they do not make any difficulties. Hold back a moment and ask to go forward without penalty. But that day her go 45 / 40km, so not sure if you go 60/40, it may still be penalized as often.
Signposts Highlands area I found this is not clear, misleading should be turned onto certain location should remain for the local people to ask for sure.
Roads from Kon Tum in the surrounding area there are still segments do quite bad, if it rains and you should be careful and avoid going into a puddle because maybe there are huge potholes.
Eating in Kontum
Kon Tum dining at very cheap prices. In the morning, I have bought pork loaf 10k and in the café is quite beautiful to sit for breakfast which cost only 5-10k / ly. One time I went Highlands in April, this is the first day of the rainy season in the Central Highlands should morning rain also very large. Often paid his hotel room, buy one loaf of bread and a coffee shop about 9 and a half waiting for the rain to start off the day's itinerary. Occasional rain and noon, so the best you should avoid going out in the wet season.
Called Kon
The most famous dish in Kon Tum is probably the salad leaves with 40 different kinds of leaves, some very familiar but some kind to make the deep jungle. Foil pack with bacon, fried shrimp, fried glutinous rice flour mixed packaging (often called nem hearing her) ... put a special sauce made from wine and eggs suddenly. The forum you on the tour experience sharing eating tasty salad leaves tossed in Ut Baby Shop, located on Tran Cao Van, you go off the road, then turn left church's Wood Tran Cao Van (060. 3912432) . Time bar also includes Facebook must. Also known as, the more you can enjoy grilled dishes Young calves also very
If you homestay in the Culture Village should enjoy the barbecue grill bamboo or bamboo rice (rice,), drinking wine. Depending on how the ethnic areas live will have the characteristics of ethnic dishes anymore but in these areas when visiting the food you should always prepare for them. For example, ethnic R'Mam salad with fish dishes is gold; B'Rau peoples have wheat leaf pickled dishes, chicken noodles mixed forest, leaf fish cooked dry pasta ...; Gie Triêng people have meat or upstairs kitchen water voles, fish sour ... The peoples of this region also have single or bitter vegetables rather eat vegetables is also very unique, you should try. According to my experience, it depends on whether you keep to that chosen area of regional specialties that enjoy. Enjoy it at work, its origins will surely bring a dish taste special, not like we sit in Hanoi or HCMC eat it anywhere.
In the city area has several good restaurants that you should try as:
A noodle shop Percentage, wonton noodles, beef noodles, beef tasty and appetizing as its northern population, 20-25k / bowl, 67 Hoang Van Thu.

Bun crab: Bach Dang Street, Dak Bla Waterfront, near the Church turn left into the wood, kiosks selling evening. This shop is very crowded hotel but I saw little sweet.
Want your night out dining area, Tran Quang Khai Street, with a wealth of dishes to choose from: pigeon porridge, pancakes, dried pho ...
Coffee is his personal show unnamed every shop for your peace of mind rather than where they are also delicious restaurant. Coffee in this area not only phase 1 type of coffee powder which the bartender mixes powders together to create different flavors. I used to be awarded both kg coffee to bring home-style homemade drink and no one criticized his coffee maker.
There are several cafes with beautiful spaces such as Indochine Coffee, located next to Hotel Indochine, I love Kontum on Nguyen Trai, coffee Eva - sepulcher at 1 Phan Chu Trinh ...

On his coming here is an endeavor not receive any large delegations like his should have the same house, spoiled and out, climb up and down, taking pictures at any angle you want, posing all kinds. But this communal house was new communal house was rebuilt on the old foundation after house fire in 2010. Right next to the communal house K'lor Kon Kon K'lor Suspension Bridge, the largest cable-stayed bridge in the area It connects the two riverbanks Blar Dak.
Kon Tum travelers often come to visit this bridge at sunset to watch the sunset over the river Dak Blar, watching the sun shining red light into the river.
Go over the bridge, go further 6km later, you're going to Kon K'tu Culture Village. If you have time, you can stay 1 night village (in the form of homestay) to be able to participate in the cultural activities of the people here. Just enjoy wine by the fire in the communal house just listen gongs alongside Ba Na people friendly. The next day you can down the stream by canoe Dak Blar riverside views, or visit a village 2km H'Lay Falls.

It is for this reason that in 1933, King Bao Dai gave Sac sign up a new Free Charity called Temple of Charity today.
Kon Tum prison
From Phan Dinh Phung Street, go approximately 1 km southwest of the Monuments of the Kon Tum prison. This is where the colonial authorities used to detain political prisoners, the soldiers Revolution in the years 30-31. Relics are now recognized as national historic memorial populations, traditional home, welcome home, clusters indomitable monuments and two mass graves located waterfront Blar Dak.
Overall, Kon Tum town is not crowded, busy so you cant just play one day, stay more then perhaps a little sad. But from Kon Tum City go into the neighborhoods are still very much worth to go and experience points.
