Dalat
travel, capital of
Lam Dong Province, is located
approximately 308km northeast of Ho Chi Minh
City. At an elevation of 1,500m, Dalat bears the
look of an Old French city. It was founded in
1897 when Doctor Alexandre Yersin recommended
that the area be developed as a resort town.
Da lat has many natural and artificial lakes such
as Ho Xuan Huong, Than Tho, Da Thien, and Tuyen
Lam bordered by lines of pine trees, which are a
well-known feature of Dalat. A trip to Dalat is
not complete until one goes to the Dalat Flower
Gardens.
The
temperate climate of Dalat is suitable for
flowers such as orchids, roses, lilies, and
camellias. Nowadays, tourists not only limit
themselves to Dalat; they also visit the area of
Langbian Highland and the ethnic minorities.
Langbian Mountain's highest peak at 2,165m is
very tempting for climbers. From Lom Bieng Klo
peak, one can see endless green mountains
reflecting the silver rays of the sun. Many
tours are organized in the area, including
parachuting and climbing.
