This morning, enjoy your city tour day in Dalat by visiting:

Bao Dai’s Summer Palace: Emperor Bao Dai had made three huge palaces in the city of Dalat. Among them, the most visited palace is called the Dinh 3 which was built in 1933. The entire structure of the palace was made in art deco fashion. It was set inside a pine grove near the Pasteur Institute, in the southwestern direction of the lake

Dalat Railway Station, built in 1938, was designed in the art deco architectural style by French architects Moncet and Reveron, although it incorporates the high, pointed roofs characteristic of the Cao Nguyen communal buildings of Vietnam’s Central Highlands. The three roofs, said to represent the three peaks of Dalat’s iconic Lang Biang mountain, are also reminiscent of Normandy’s Trouville-Deauville Station.

Crazy House: Described as a “fairy tale house”, its overall design resembles a giant banyan tree, incorporating sculptured design elements representing natural forms such as animals, mushrooms, spider webs and caves. Its architecture, consisting of complex, organic, non-rectilinear shapes, has been described as expressionist. Its creator, Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga, who holds a PhD in architecture from Moscow State University, has acknowledged the inspiration of Catalan Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi in the building’s design

In the afternoon, take a cable car running from Robin Hill to the Truc Lam Temple. The ride covers 2.3 kilometers with 50 brightly painted cabins spanning the distance. The panoramic views of Dalat are worth the effort.

Truc Lam Temple (Vietnamese: Thien Vien Truc Lam) is a Zen Buddhist temple outside the center of Da Lat. The temple is located at a turnoff on the road from the city center towards Prenn Hill, the temple is near Tuyen Lam Lake, located on Phuong Hoang Hill. The entrance of the temple is somewhat isolated, so there is a direct entrance to the temple with 61 steps or climbing, or the person can go directly past Tuyen Lam Lake and then climb 222 steps past the triple gated entrance to enter the main courtyard in front of the temple.

Our next stop is Dalat flower garden, sitting at the end of Xuan Huong Lake, around 2 kilometers from the city center, it cover 11 hectares. With its cool mountain climate, Dalat is perfect for growing a wide variety of flower

You also can not miss a trip to Dalanta waterfall. It is not so imposing or tumultuous as some others in Dalat but it exerts an extraordinary attraction to adventurers. Datanla or Datania is a word compound in K’Ho language, meaning ‘water under the leaves’ – related to the war of Cham, Lat, Chil in the 15th-17th centuries. There are beautiful and glossy rock slabs where fairies from heaven are legendarily used to bathe and get amused; therefore it is also called Fairy Stream. Going farther down, tourists are soon in front of an immeasurably deep chasm, called ’Death Chasm’.

Stay overnight in Dalat.
