Dalat
City

Dalat,
capital of Lam Dong
Province, is located approximately
308km northeast of
Ho
Chi Minh City.
At an elevation of 1,500m, Dalat bears the look of an Old French city. It was
founded in 1897 when Doctor Alexandre Yersin recommended that the area be
developed as a resort town. Dalat has many natural and artificial lakes such as
Ho Xuan Huong, Than Tho, Da Thien, and Tuyen Lam bordered by lines of pine
trees, which are a well-known feature of Dalat. A trip to Dalat is not complete
until one goes to the Dalat Flower Gardens.

The temperate climate of Dalat is suitable for flowers such
as orchids, roses, lilies, and camellias. Nowadays, tourists not only limit
themselves to Dalat; they also visit the area of Langbian Highland and the
ethnic minorities. Langbian
Mountain's highest peak
at 2,165m is very tempting for climbers. From Lom Bieng Klo peak, one can see
endless green mountains reflecting the silver rays of the sun. Many tours are
organized in the area, including parachuting and climbing.
