Da Lat
The 'city of a thousand flowers,' cool year-round on the highlands, where pine hills, waterfalls and flower gardens run together.
Da Lat is the exception to Vietnam's tropical climate — cool all year round, misty every morning, and flowering down every slope. Among its pine hills, lakes and old French villas, this highland city offers a slower pace rarely found elsewhere in the country.

Valley of Love and the scenic Tuyen Lam Lake
The century-old Da Lat railway station, in French colonial style
Da Lat's night market in the cool evening air
