As a junction between three Indochinese countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, the Indochina junction is known as the place where “a rooster crows and three countries can hear it”. Perhaps because of this, the Indochina junction has become an attractive destination attracting many tourists who are passionate about traveling, exploring and experiencing new things.
Speaking of the Central Highlands, people will surely immediately remember a sunny and windy plateau filled with the scent of coffee flowers, or remember the solemn sound of gongs resounding during every festival of the villages in the great forest. Not only that, the Central Highlands also has a destination that the travel community is eager to conquer, which is the Indochina junction - a tourist attraction in Kon Tum that is loved by many tourists.
The Indochina junction is located in Bo Y commune, Ngoc Hoi district, Kon Tum province. It is called the Indochina junction because this is the junction of three Indochinese countries including Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. A common landmark between the three countries was built here on a hill 1,086m above sea level. The landmark is the junction of three provinces: Kon Tum (Vietnam), Ratanakiri (Cambodia) and Attapeu (Laos).
This landmark was constructed by Kon Tum province in December 2007 and completed in early 2008, under the supervision of experts from the three countries sharing the border. The special landmark weighs 900 kg, is made of triangular granite, 2 meters high, and on each side of the landmark facing each country is a solemn national emblem, the year the landmark was established, and the name of that country in red letters of that country. The border junction is a symbol that clearly shows the will, aspirations, and determination of the Governments and people of the three countries in goodwill to cooperate to resolve the border and territorial issues, and is a testament to the trust, understanding, and spirit of friendly cooperation between Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
The road to the Indochina junction is not too difficult. While driving, visitors can freely admire the majestic mountain scenery appearing right before their eyes. Next, visitors will climb the stairs to reach the most sacred image of the Fatherland's border.
