Hi Welcome to Dalat. This awesome little city in the South of Vietnam is only a short bus ride from Ho Chi Min City
and Nha Trang. There are plenty of amazing sights for you to see in Dalat. The popular
Crazy House is a very unique building. Often Described as a fairy tale house, the weird
shapes and objects of this building have been inspired from works of artists such as Dali
and Walt Disney.
Make sure you climb all the way to the top to get a beautiful view of the entire city.
On your way out of the crazy house stop by the Dalat Chatedral as they are walking distance
from each other and admire its beautiful architecture.
Another popular attraction of Da Lat is the amazing Truc Lam Cable Car that takes you all the way up
to the Thien Vuong Pagoda. This beautiful scenic cable car gives you a panoramic view
of the entire city.
Da Lat has cool weather year round which is perfect for agriculture. Because of this make
sure you take a light jacket or sweater to use at night.
After the awesome cable car ride you will arrive at the serene Trúc Lâm Temple
This beautiful well kept monastery is one of the most peaceful places we have ever been.
One of the main objectives of the temple is to recreate the spirit of Zen Buddhism
The monks at this monastery have an attention to detail compared to no other. Every inch
of this place is taken care of and the view of the lake from the top of the mountain is just breathtaking.
The lake near the center of the city is probably one of the best sights of DaLat and makes
the whole town look that much more interesting. Take a stroll around the late at any time,
and stop at one of the many cafes around the lake to have a very relaxing drink with a
beautiful view.
There are plenty of tours that take you to the countryside of Da Lat. We decided to join
a motorbike tour given by our hotel which took us to different places. We got to try
eating a cricket for the first time, experienced the everyday life of locals and visit the
stunning Elephant waterfalls.
We stopped on the side of the road to check out a plant that’s used in curry that we were
told it was sometimes used as lipstick.
Another great attraction that you definitely can’t miss is the old style Dalat Train
Station. This well kept station takes you back into time with its vietnamese architecture
and design. Get on a short train ride to the unique Linh Phuoc Pagoda.
This amazing pagoda is a work of art. It is completely made out of shattered pieces of glass and ceramic. On site you can see the
talented artists working on statues and furniture. YOu’ll be amazed with all the different
pieces of art, tall buddas and colorful architecture.
We hope you enjoy our video, if you are lucky in dal at you’ll get to see a monkey on
top of a pig. Make sure to visit our site for more detailed information.
