Valleys full of purple flowers, incense-filled pagodas, spectacular waterfalls and honeymooning couples. Where else could it be but the cool mountain city of Dalat in Vietnam? Dalat is a romantic mountain city, often dubbed the 'Paris of Vietnam'. It's located in Lam Dong province, in the central highlands of Vietnam, 234km away from Ho Chi Minh City. This video shows you the highlights of this unmissable hill station and former French colony. If you're travelling through Vietnam, we highly recommend that you spend a few days here to escape the heat of the lowlands and to enjoy the multitude of attractions on offer. As for specifics, we suggest you go to witness the stunning displays of colourful flowers at the Dalat flower gardens, close to town. A wonderful hiking trail , which starts about 12km outside Dalat, takes you up to the peak of Lang Biang mountain (2169m ) for stunning panoramic views. You can also visit several waterfalls in the surrounds such as Datanla Waterfall, located just 5km from Dalat. The most spectacular waterfalls are further afield; Elephant Waterfall & Pongour Falls are two very impressive ones. The 'Valley Of Love' is not to be missed, especially for those romancing couples who want a fairytale experience. Here you'll find pristine pine forests, a large lake, 'Cinderalla' style carriages pulled by horses, swathes of purple & violet flowers and lots more. If you fancy it, you can take a cable car ride from Robin Hill to the Truc Lam Monastery and back. The ride spans a distance of 2.3 km between the two points. Dalat also has a number of beautiful lakes & reservoirs in the surrounds where you can often swim, fish or rent out pedal-boats. You could spend your time ambling the charming city streets, admiring the catholic churches and french architecture or visit the market to taste the mulberries, succulent strawberries and candied plums. There are also some stunning pagodas to see around town such as the famous Linh Phuoc Pagoda (Glass Pagoda), the Linh Son Pagoda (make sure to check out the pine tree hill behind this) and the Truc Lam Pagoda. The Bao Dai summer palace is a beautiful property to visit, and it yields an insight into the life of the last reigning Vietnamese emperor (Emperor Bao Dai). It was used as a retreat by the emperor's family. Lastly, make sure to check out the 'Crazy House', ranked among the world's top 10 craziest buildings. This architectural wonder is actually a hotel known as the 'Hang Nga Guesthouse' and was designed by a very eccentric Vietnamese architect. Thanks for watching the video.
