The Xo Dang ethnic people mainly live in villages located near water sources in the eastern and western sides of the Truong Son Mountain Ranges.  They earn their living by farming and hunting activities. 

The Xo Dang people have already learned how to cultivate rice plants and many industrial trees.  Despite the many changes in their daily lives nowadays, the local ethnic residents are making every effort to preserve their unique traditional culture.

Here are some photos of the Xo Dang ethnic people which were taken by Huy Dang, a freelance photographer for Danang Today.
