12°40′N 108°3′E / 12.667°N 108.050°E / 12.667; 108.050Buôn Ma Thuột or sometimes Buôn Mê Thuột or Ban Mê Thuột (Vietnamese pronunciation: [ʔɓuon1maː1tʰuot̚ʔ6], listenⓘ), is the capital city of Đắk Lắk Province in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Its population was 434,256 in 2023.[1] The city is the largest in the Central Highlands and is known for its coffee culture.[2][3]

In 1904, the French colonialists established Dak Lak province and chose Buon Ma Thuot as its capital.[4][5] Since then, Buon Ma Thuot has become the administrative, economic, and cultural center of the region. Throughout the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans, Buon Ma Thuot made significant contributions to the cause of national liberation.[5]

Names

[edit]

The name Buôn Ma Thuột derives from the language of the Ê Đê as the village of Ama Y Thuột, who held considerable power and prestige as the head of his village, where Buôn Ma Thuột now stands, in the late 19th century.[6][7]

History

[edit]

In 1904, according to a decree by the Supreme Council of the Governor-General of Indochina, Đắk Lắk Province was established with its provincial capital in Buôn Ma Thuột.[8] In 1913, Đắk Lắk Province was dissolved and merged into Kon Tum Province, causing Buôn Ma Thuột to lose its status as the provincial capital. However, in 1923, the Governor-General of Indochina issued a decree to re-establish Đắk Lắk Province, with Buôn Ma Thuột once again serving as the administrative center.[9]

From the 1930s to 1954, Buôn Ma Thuột experienced significant development with the construction of numerous administrative, commercial, and military infrastructure projects by the French colonial government. The town gradually became a key hub connecting the Central Highlands with the central provinces of Vietnam.[8]

After the Geneva Accords of 1954, Buôn Ma Thuột came under the control of the government of the Republic of Vietnam.[10] From 1954 to 1975, it continued to serve as the administrative and economic center of Đắk Lắk Province. In 1958, the Saigon government divided the province into multiple districts, with Buôn Ma Thuột being the most important. The town also held a strategic position during the Vietnam War.[11]

On March 10, 1975, the People's Liberation Army launched a decisive attack on Buôn Ma Thuột,[12][13] marking the beginning of the Central Highlands Campaign.[14][15] After 1975, Buôn Ma Thuột remained the central hub of Đắk Lắk Province.[16][17] On August 21, 1995, Buôn Ma Thuột was officially upgraded to a city under the province's administration.[18]

Geography

[edit]

The city is located at 12.6667° N 108.0500° E, right at the heart of the Central Highlands of Vietnam, 1300 km from Hanoi, 500 km from Da Nang, and 350 km from Ho Chi Minh City. Lying on a fairly flat highland, at an average height of 536 m (1,759 ft) above sea level, Buôn Ma Thuột has a vital role in Vietnam's national security and defense system.[19] Buôn Ma Thuột is the capital of Đắk Lắk Province and also the biggest city in the Central Highlands region (Tây Nguyên).

Transportation

[edit]

Buon Ma Thuot Airport is located southeast of the city which provides direct daily domestic flights to Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City operated by Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, Pacific Airlines and Bamboo Airways.

Culture and heritage

[edit]

Coffee

[edit]

Although coffee was introduced to Vietnam as early as 1870, in Đắk Lắk, it only began widespread cultivation in the 1930s by the French. The basalt soil in the Central Highlands proved particularly suitable for coffee cultivation, leading to an increase in coffee growing areas. Currently, according to statistics, Đắk Lắk has more than 175,000 hectares of coffee (in reality, over 200,000 hectares, as some areas are not included in the official plan). Đắk Lắk is recognized as having the highest coffee yield in the world, significantly contributing to Vietnam's position as the second largest coffee exporter globally, with robusta coffee ranking first. Almost every district in Đắk Lắk grows coffee, but Buôn Ma Thuột coffee is considered the highest quality with a distinctive flavor, earning the city the title "coffee capital."[24][25]

Buôn Ma Thuột aspires to become a global centre for coffee. The city's unique cultural heritage, combined with its superior coffee production, plays a key role in its position in the international coffee industry, aiming to elevate its status and recognition on the world stage.[26][27][28]

Khải Đoan Pagoda

[edit]

Khải Đoan Pagoda, officially named "Sắc tứ Khải Đoan tự," is located in Thong Nhat Ward, Buon Ma Thuot City, Dak Lak Province. It is the largest Buddhist pagoda in the city and one of the largest in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The pagoda holds historical significance as it was the last to receive a royal decree of recognition ("Sắc tứ") from a Vietnamese king.

The pagoda was initiated in 1951 by Queen Mother Hoang Thi Cuc, the principal wife of King Khai Dinh and mother of King Bao Dai. The pagoda was built on land donated by the queen mother, who also contributed most of the construction funds, alongside donations from Buddhist followers and the local community. In 1953, during the completion ceremony of the rear hall, it was officially named "Sắc tứ Khải Đoan" by King Bao Dai, combining the names of King Khai Dinh and Queen Mother Doan Huy.[29][30]

Covering an area of about 4 hectares, Khải Đoan Pagoda features various structures harmoniously integrated with natural landscapes. The main hall, or "chính điện," is the most prominent building, with an area of 320 square meters. It combines the architectural styles of traditional Hue rường houses and the longhouses of the Ede people in the Central Highlands. The main hall houses five altars with bronze Buddha statues and intricately carved wooden bases. Additional structures within the pagoda include the rear hall, bell tower, drum tower, and a library ("tàng kinh các"). The rear hall, similar in structure to the main hall but simpler, contains statues of Quan Am and memorials to past abbots. The bell tower houses a large bronze bell donated by Prince Bao Long and Bao Thang.[30]

Khải Đoan Pagoda serves as a major center for Buddhism in Dak Lak and the Central Highlands, often referred to as the "Great Pagoda" or "Provincial Pagoda." It has been the headquarters of the Buddhist Association of Dak Lak Province since 1986. The pagoda's unique history and architecture make it a significant cultural and religious site, attracting numerous Buddhist followers and visitors to Buon Ma Thuot City.[29]

Coffee festival

[edit]

The Buôn Ma Thuột Coffee Festival, held biennially in Buôn Ma Thuột city, Đắk Lắk province, honors coffee, a dominant crop contributing 60% of Vietnam's coffee output. The festival, first organized in 2005, features activities related to coffee production and processing, alongside vibrant cultural and sports events and online transactions with the global market.[31][32]

Ngã 6 Ban Mê

[edit]

Ngã 6 Ban Mê is the city's center, featuring the Buôn Ma Thuột Victory Monument, symbolizing the city. Initially a roundabout with a threelight pole after liberation, it now hosts a grand monument with a steel tank symbolizing the beginning of the Buôn Ma Thuột battle. In the late 20th century, the victory monument was significantly expanded.

Remaining Kơnia tree

[edit]

A remaining Kơnia tree is preserved at the Đắk Lắk Cultural Center, a few hundred meters from Ngã 6. The Kơnia tree holds significant spiritual meaning for ethnic minorities, serving as a resting place for spirits and providing shade for workers. Inspired by the famous song "Under the Shadow of the Kơnia Tree," visitors often seek out the tree in Buôn Ma Thuột.[33][34]

Buôn Akô Đhông

[edit]

Buôn Akô Đhông, also known as Buôn Cô Thôn or Ma Rin, is an Ê Đê village in Buôn Ma Thuột. The village is located by a stream in Buôn Ma Thuột, once an important source of water for the natives. Situated at the end of Trần Nhật Duật street, the well-planned village preserves many traditional values and is a popular tourist destination.[35][36]
