A bit far from everywhere
In a nutshell
A different take on Vietnam than what most visitors expect
SurfaceTravel Says: We stopped at these falls as we were leaving Dalat on our road trip down to HCMC. The falls are nice to see and walk under, but the place is all touristed up with gates and admission prices, concrete elephants, etc. The falls were flowing heavily as this was the rainy...
cachaseiro Says: The Truc Lam temple is a buddhist temple a little outside Da Lat that was build recently and it´s a center of Zen buddhism which is not that common in Vietnam, but the place has quite a few munks and gets Zen buddhist visitors from all over the world.The temple has a really...
cachaseiro Says: The last king of Vietnam, Bao Dai, had a summer palace in Da Lat where he spend most of his last years as a king when he had no power anyway and he spend most of his time there playing golf and trying to seduce women.The palace is open for the public and a very nice excample...
cachaseiro Says: Da Lat has a flowerpark where you have a broad variety of the flowers found in the region and the place is very popular with vietnamese tourists.It´s quite colorful and worth a visit.I have come there with tour groups a couple of times and my guests, who are mostly senior...
Visit Hang Hga Gallery and Guesthouse
kelnsha Says: It is nicknamed the 'Crazy House' by locals, this guesthouse, cafe and art gallery is about 1 km southwest of Xuan Huong Lake. The architecture is something straight out of Alice in Wonderland and cannot easily be described: there are caves, giant spider webs made of wire,...
Thien Vien Truc Lam(Buddhist Meditation Monastery)
kelnsha Says: It is a lovely coloured building. The giant bell is on the right of the main building and a giant drum is on the right. The sign on the front gate reads 'Phat Giao Viet-Nam' (Vietnam Buddhist Association).
Go on a motorbike trip with the Easy Riders
Claudi Says: During your stay in Da lat you have chances to be asked by one of the Da lat Easy Riders to go with them on a motorbike tour.They are professional guides and unlike other ´tour guides´ we experienced before in Vietnam they do speak good English and have a repartoire of ample...
JessieLang Says: The Dalat Cable Cars opened for business in 2003. The ride is beautiful, and almost a mile and a half (2.3 km) long. It runs from 7 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 5 p.m.50,000 Dong one way, or 70,000 round trip.

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.
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 :)
Gili_S Says: This was not the measure of transportation that we used, but it was just an option for tourists who want to try something else. The 3rd photo here I am not really sure about those horses if one can ride on them, they were just there and we notice them while hanging around.
Gili_S Says: As everywhere in Vietnam there will be all kinds of souvenirs one can buy and take home with you. In this particular location I can only remember the local hand made stuff at the chicken village. Silk and weaving items are always a good deal, you can barging on the price if...
Gili_S Says: The Dalat Flower Festival is probably the biggest event is held in this city every year during the winter (January ?) That is a good reason for celebration and special decorations in the temples and other sites in the city.
Valley of Love - Overly Kitschy!!!
nexusangel Says: The place is seriously spoilt with the excessive weird sculptures and statues that scatter the area.Plus the jeeps near the walkway down to the lake kind of spoils the expereince ( i think they are for taking short rides and pictures in , of course with a fee)Considering...
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.
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...
