Măng Đen (formerly Đắk Long commune) is a township and administrative seat of Kon Plông District in Kon Tum Province in Vietnam.[1]

Măng Đen is a newly-formed town on the sparsely populated Mang Den Plateau in the northern part of the Central Highlands region (Vietnamese: Tây Nguyên). The town was built in 2003 around the Sedang villages of Dak Ke and Kon Bring and an abandoned American airfield called Plateau G.I. The settlement received township status in 2019.[2]

At 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) above sea level, the township has cool climate with average temperatures of 17.0–22.7 °C (62.6–72.9 °F). Mang Den's specific sights are pine forests and wild Himalayan cherry blossom in the winter. It is dubbed as "the second Da Lat" due to its temperate climate.[3]
