On the morning of November 1, hundreds of people and 7 elephants gathered at the house of Mr. Dang Nang Long - known as the "elephant king" of the Central Highlands, to bid him farewell to his final resting place.

From early morning, many elephant trainers (elephant drivers) along with 7 domestic elephants and hundreds of people were present at Mr. Long's private house to see him off for the last time.

The clip recorded images of many elephant riders (elephant drivers) along with 7 domesticated elephants and hundreds of people present at Mr. Long's private home in Lien Son town, Lak district, Dak Lak province to see him off for the last time.

The elephant trainers control the herd of domesticated elephants from Mr. Long's private house, going around Lak Lake and Le village (Lien Son town) where Mr. Long used to live.

After going around, the elephants knelt down in front of Mr. Long's house to say goodbye to him.

Mr. Y Vinh E Ung (38 years old, an elephant rider) said that Mr. Long is the one who has been attached to, supported, and helped elephant owners in the area participate in tourism, create jobs, and develop the economy.

"Mr. Long is a person who loves elephants very much and always strives to develop his herd of domestic elephants, so people love him very much.

We and the elephants that he was attached to came here early in the morning to bow and say goodbye to him," Mr. Y Vinh E Ung shared.

Previously, on the afternoon of October 27, Mr. Dang Nang Long passed away at the age of 63.
