A nice cool break from the heat!

A bit far from everywhere
In a nutshell
A different take on Vietnam than what most visitors expect
akkipaa Says: Truc Lam Temple is a Zen Buddhist Pagoda outside of Da Lat in Phuong Hoang Hill some 1300 meters above sea level. The temple was built in 1993 (opened to public 1994) and it's located on the area of 24 hectares Two hectares of the area are occupied by buildings and it's...
akkipaa Says: The XQ embroidery is definitely worth seeing. For some reason the atmosphere is calm and relaxing, you forget the rush and can fully concentrate to environment, workers and students studying embroidery. The art works are many, from tiny to large and it's easy to understand...
akkipaa Says: This massive rooster can be found from Darahoa. There is of course a reason, only some 300 inhabitants in the village. The reason is the old one: love and positive moral. The people in the village are from two minority groups: Chills and K'hos. Tradition tells that a Chill...
akkipaa Says: One of the newest Dalat's attraction is the Cable Car which drives along more than 2 kilometers wire to Quang Trung Reservoir. The views are stunning and you can just relax and watch Vietnamese lifestyles with a lot of open fire and smoke and the views from the cable car...
akkipaa Says: When HCMC's Post Office is by Eiffel here we have a replica of Eiffel's most famous "building". This is not as tall as the original, but definitely reminds us that this used to be French area.The main purpose is to serve telecommunication but why not to build the towers so...

V Cafe: Great food and atmosphere in Dalat
Stnkwiaz Says: After a month of travelling through Vietnam and after eating only local cuisine which don't get me wrong is excellent I was ready for some western food...Unfortunately we were in Dalat where it is quite scarce. So after some walking around we spotted v cafe and decided to...
NYTim Says: My friends were craving Western food after 11 days of Asian repasts. V was right across the street from out hotel. We had pizzas and some chicken dish. It was okay. Do not drink the Dalat wine. We did and had terrible hangovers the next morning.
Saigon Nite Bar: Saigon nite life
TeganSacha Says: Amazing drinks, amazing games! (pool and connect 4) Bartender is a legend! Makes the best cocktails ever! SOOOO STRONG!!! Will also beat you at nearly every game of connect 4! Weak spot it pool! Haha Bartender is awesome guy, so easy to talk to, makes you feel welcome and...
Gili_S Says: Da Lat nightlife is in a the highlights as it is also destination for the locals to travel for romantic vacation. Clubs will play loud music, sometimes local "Schlager" and even worst will be karaoke.Anyhow, I was happy with the Dry Martini..... shaken not steered :)
Gili_S Says: Those sliding cars or sledge, call it how you want are the fastest way to get down the valley to the Datanla Falls instead of strolling down the walking path. Best is that you can always take them on the way up :)
Da Lat Market: Market - Inside
akkipaa Says: Dalat Market (Cho Da Lat) is similar to many of Vietnam’s city markets. It is really an interesting place to my kind of north people who's markets are grey, white and black with quite poor local stuff. Here you find colors, spices, fruits almost everything from clothes to...
Da Lat Market: Market - Outside
akkipaa Says: There are many young end a little bit older woman selling fruits, handicraft and berries on the streets. They are all the time aware, whether it is illegal or they should have paid of the place. A couple of times I saw a police car appearing and the sellers took whole...
akkipaa Says: If you like to ride on the roads, I really don't recommend you the motorcycle or scooter. They can drive amazingly e.g. in Ho Chi Minh City, you might find kilometers long 5 row motorcycle queues and to pass the street needs Strenght! Just step on the street, don't get back,...
Helpfulness
As you can realize from the photo, the traffic is more than dangerous the drivers are not following all the rules (like we are, right :). Here is quite common situation, a double passing, both trucks are somehow busy and try to pass you whether there are someone coming ahead or not!
Be safe out there!

akkipaa Says: Okay, you whether like this or not. It's a bit of tourist trap but who cares. Take a ride a relax, there are brakes to control the speed and it's not so fast. You can take the ride alone or double as we. You can take return (both ways 40 000) or climb back up to balance you...
Gili_S Says: Remember that Da Lat is in the mountains, it might be cold here, depends to what weather you are used for, but be aware that it will be much colder here then in the tropic climate you enjoy in the cost line on the sea level. So bring something warm, especially for the...
Jumping Jiminy--It's a cricket farm!
JessieLang Says: Thien An Cricket Farm has been in operation for 3 years, and it supplies Dalat restaurants. (They are a popular snack, and supposedly go well with beer.) It takes 3 months to raise them to market size. They keep them in plastic tubs that are too slippery for them to crawl...
Gili_S Says: Po Nagar is the ancient place over 1000 years old. This ancient place and temple tower are just by the city of Phan Rang-Tháp Chàm on the east coast. You can stop over here wile travelling on the coast line from south to north or other way.
akkipaa Says: Drink when you are thirsty and eat when you are hungry. In Vietnam my recommendation is easy for light lunch, order Pho with Paa Paa Paa. Pho is Vietnamese soup, Paa is three, and 3 times Paa is 333, which is local Vietnamese beer! Extremely good mixture and keeps your...
Gili_S Says: Da Lat is in the mountaineer city of Vietnam. It is located in the south central highlands of Vietnam in the country of Lam Dong rather far from any central business city. It is surrounded with mountains, parks and lakes which make it very interesting place to visit in...
Da Lat was the place we went to visit when we wanted to get away from the coast line and check some other sites in Vietnam. This city in the high mountains has a lot to offer and is a great place to...
Da Lat is my 2nd stop after Saigon. This is a highland town and slowly becoming a popular holiday destination for local, especially those from Saigon.
After 4 days of traffic chaos in HCMC we were looking forward to our 3 day visit to the peaceful highlands and country setting of Da Lat. We were on a group holiday with 27 members of our local orchid...
I like Dalat very much.. For its tranquil environment, for its refreshing air, for the night market selling cheap jackets, for the whole town of Dalat university students, for the soya bean drink on...
Wasn't expecting this feeling. Almost like an alpine resort somewhere in Europe! An interesting town that I would put on the itinery if you have the time. This was the only place in all of our trip......
