From the airport to the city center is about 4km, you can catch a taxi to go to downtown, very convenient.
Hotels, motels and Pleiku more acceptable price. However, I have seen the phenomenon of overbooking coming here on the occasion of last year's 30.4. Occasions when to Pleiku, I have asked many hotels are signaling the end of the room and finally at Thanh Binh Hotel (No. 93 Hai Ba Trung Street) for $ 250k / 2 bed room, not cheap compared with the average of the area this area.
It will take a little time for you to find a room like that for $ 150-200k, but on that price, during 3-400k, there are many choices.

Eating in Pleiku
Because much more time in Pleiku and have both led away to enjoy some familiar dishes Pleiku Pleiku should find more attractive dish. But the price of food in the restaurant is not cheap.
Pho Tau dry at Ly, Tran Phu Street 35k price, food is also delicious, but a bit more unusual. Eight in her pancakes Tran Binh Trong Street intersection with Le Hong Phong, bun kebabs on Nguyen Trai, vermicelli crab in the Small Market, Phu Loan bread at Su Van Hanh street ... But I find most interesting is snacking at night in the central market. The barbeque restaurant, pancakes, corn roast, dumplings, tea ... is listed in the pavement with extremely attractive price. Both these dark, eat their evening tea in it, the price is only 5k / tea cups and always be kind to add peanuts to eat with aromatic flavor, Bui Bui, very attractive. Evening in Pleiku also seem more crowded, young people sitting here well or coffee shop or stroll the park amnesty ... If you do not like junk food like me, the feeling that you try to look up the lights from cities 12-storey hotel, Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
Visit Pleiku course can not not enjoy coffee. You can look Thien Truc on Cach Mang Thang Tam Street, Tram wuu road ... I shall have more opportunities to drink coffee in Gia Lai, but not in the popular bar, which usually meets on the road shop Turn on, cheap, nice seat that was only about 15k / ly. Many people say that drinking coffee Pleiku to new early morning drink right "style Pleiku".

  • Then you should go back downtown area to be able to visit other attractions. Minh Thanh pagoda-style architecture with remote Taiwan was very attracted tourists because there is a huge tower located in a pretty massive site at No. 14 Nguyen Viet Xuan. In the temple, the details of architecture, sculpture has its own mark. Besides Minh Thanh Temple, Temple Buu Pleiku also strictly at Ly Thai To Street, but when I came here, the temple is being restored, sprawling brick and stone, so I do not inwards
  • Notre An it is a structure of Christianity Pleiku City. Church is not large but typical architecture, situated in a quiet space and harmony. This is not a popular tourist spot in Pleiku but personally I found very impressive.
  • Prison Pleiku
  • This is where political prisoners detained under the French, American (before 1975), this monument is located right in the city center, 300m from the post office, is preserved many artifacts used in the period before 1975 in prison as well as the form of payment is applied here.

The motorbike you can not run into the dam is. Which cars have 4 seats lease for 200k / car nearby to go on hydroelectric dams, watching from above or visit the area on the turbine. Nearly hydropower sector have an ecological tourist areas but so too crowded Yaly is therefore no longer served any more. Hydroelectric Entries pretty easy going, but if you go from Kontum to Pleiku direction should be taken signposts. Good people should ask people whether it was correct road.
Phu Cuong WATERFALL - HO Ayun Ha (Chu Se district)
From downtown Pleiku, you can go to the neighborhood to visit some very famous waterfalls in the area.
Phu Cuong waterfall, Chu Se district, more than 40km from Pleiku city, is like silk crossing Highland mountains, the highest waterfall Highlands. Phu Cuong waterfall flowing on the lava of a volcano has stopped working and 45m height should see waterfalls from below makes visitors feel downright spectacular. Waterfall quite evil, a few years ago want to swing down to the waterfall about 200 meters, but now has the way down to the waterfall. However, very slippery rock waterfall, rapids so you need to be very careful, not because he wanted photographed waterfall but too risky.
From a suspension bridge above the falls looking down, watching the steam to see all the grandeur of Phu Cuong waterfall.

By the way last year have not been easy to go down the waterfall and follow the indigenous people here, they must take a detour and go very hard, or dry season could go down the right road, but the rainy season falls down, it can not is due to overgrown vegetation off the trail. But there are now many travel companies in Gia Lai gave operators around Khoeng on his itinerary so can the way was easier than before
In addition to the above two waterfalls you can visit other waterfalls in Gia Lai. But according to his personal and found that the two largest waterfall, the most worth going here. Nine-story waterfall, Ia Grai district, 25km from the city of Pleiku, own name waterfall that visitors can also imagine the scene here.

The Delicatessen in Gia Lai
In addition to its excellent cuisine but in Gia Lai or surrounding provinces as well have called, bitter coffee, then Gia Lai Shoots there are special dishes that were up to Gia Lai and you need to try.
Dry Pho Gia Lai
Overall this dish is most pronounced when Gia Lai.

The dried noodle shop in Gia Lai in the streets, often selling all day, not just sell like a bright gift as in other localities. This dish is also known as "pho two bowls" for noodles and water are separated into

Bun crab sauce
Bun crab sauce is present in most of the provinces in the Central Highlands, but many argue that it originated is of the Binh Dinh Gia Lai migrated when they were making this dish. This is not the food one eats well liked immediately because of its bold flavor. Noodle broth was also cooked as soup crab crab cakes, crab but vermicilli differences that most crab after the water leach are incubated approximately 1 day for fermentation, which is why at why this dish has such different taste.
Salt beef is a sunny yellow dots
Cows in a sunny or Gia Lai, also known as a sunny two dew cow, pretty strange sounding names and also very delicious food. A special feature of this dish is that it is dotted with salt ants. This is really a unique type of salt, made from forest is of Ayun Pa, Krong Pa.

The local people found in their forests there are hundreds of different types of leaves that get nowhere, and kitchen foil is one of the most abundant. This leaves a sweet taste brackish, so people also called the "leaf seasoning". Previously in wartime, people just for a few leaves in a pot and stove was made a pot of soup for the whole family. But today there are many different ways to make this soup tastier such as crab soup kitchen leaf, leaf fish stove ...
Tomato
This is a fish that can be done so long been, for as long as it is more delicious dishes. Sour Fish braces are made from fish, fish species like carp big mouth but I flattened live in streams.
