Since the mid-19th century, following in the footsteps of Western missionaries, Catholicism began to be present in the Central Highlands, including Kon Tum. In the early days, worship facilities in this country were mostly small-scale, made of wood, thatch, bamboo, leaves... Only later, when the number of parishioners increased, did people consider built large churches, including Kon Tum wooden church. According to historical sources, the Kon Tum wooden church was presided over by Father Joseph Décrouille, in charge of the Kon Tum parish, and started construction in mid-March 1913 and was completed in early 1918. The church's construction process spanned many years. through many hardships, even stagnating at times due to the time World War I broke out. Previously, it took people up to 3 years to prepare, starting with hiring skilled workers to go into the forest to cut wood and then using elephants to pull it back, then sending people back to areas such as Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, and Binh Dinh. ... find good workers to build. The reason it is called a wooden church is because the main material used to build this church is red wood, a precious wood abundant in the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands.

The ceiling, walls and partitions are plastered with a straw-mixed soil material in the traditional style of Central Vietnamese houses, with absolutely no reinforced concrete or lime mortar. Explaining this, in a report sent to the Paris Missionary Society in 1913, right at the beginning of construction of the church, the Apostolic Vicar Bishop of Dong Dang Trong Grangeon wrote as follows: "Stone cannot be used." Like bricks for construction, only wood can be built with high quality and the architect said that this church in Ba Na has the appearance of a cathedral. Overall, the church is designed in Roman architectural style combined with the stilt house style of the indigenous Ba Na people. This is considered the pinnacle of the combination of Western culture and national identity of the Central Highlands region. Looking from the outside, the building is a tall, majestic building that stands out with the dark and timeless colors of wood and tiles. The front of the church has a 4-storey bell tower 24m high in the middle, creating harmony and balance for the entire building. The two-winged corridor is wide and long, the roofs are high and sloping like the communal roofs of the Ba Na people, firmly supported by round wooden columns.

The fields here are also divided into quite small plots, with many different shapes, rather than running long like in the Northwest region. The most beautiful time of Dak To Pe Terraced Fields is during the ripe rice season. At this time, the fields will be dyed a rich and brilliant yellow color, shining under the rays of the sun. In particular, Gia Lai people cultivate two crops per year according to the weather, so when the rice is ripe, it will ripen simultaneously, creating a brilliant beauty and stretching over 50 hectares, extremely beautiful. The people here are very enthusiastic and friendly with groups of tourists who come to visit and travel. You can comfortably climb along small trails, watch people harvest rice, and chat with them to better understand the lives of the people here. However, because the terrain of Dak To Pe Terraced Fields is only slightly sloping, it will not look beautiful when photographed. Therefore, if you want to take impressive images, you must climb to the top of the mountain or take photos with a flycam to see the vastness and majesty. Located at the end of the Dak To Pe terraced fields will be the wild and beautiful Doi waterfall. The waterfall consists of two parallel streams, following the cliff and pouring down. The water source of Double Waterfall is formed from Dak Oi and A Dit streams. The stream flows through the Dak To Pe terraced fields, reaching the cliff, forming two parallel waterfalls, 20m apart. Water from the waterfall pours down into the middle of the abyss about 150m deep, creating a scene as soft as a girl's silky hair falling down. Although not as majestic as Kty Waterfall or Kleng Waterfall, Double Waterfall still has a very unique beauty. However, the amount of water at Double Falls is not too abundant. During the dry season, Dak Oi and A Dit streams will dry up, causing Twin Falls to lack water. Currently, only the waterfall on the left from Dak Oi stream is still flowing steadily, while the waterfall on the right has almost dried up, with only traces of the flow still imprinted on the cliff.
