Perched 1500 meters above sea level on the Lang Biang plateau is Da Lat, the quaint capital of Lam Dong province. A temperate climate and fertile soil have earned Da Lat the moniker “city of eternal spring” and it is one where the flowers bloom, birds sing and the air is clear, fresh and redolent of pine. It is such a popular destination that there is one saying goes “Missing Da Lat in Vietnam holiday is like visiting Paris and skipping Eiffel Tower.”
At the heart of Da Lat is the central market and Xuan Huong Lake, the city’s prime feature. Other attractions include the Da Lat flower garden, the "Crazy House", Bao Dai's Summer Palace, the Railway Station and the "Valley of Love" park. Most travelers spend their time exploring the beautiful countryside by foot, motorbike or bicycle. Da Lat is also becoming one of interesting destinations for outdoor adventure activities including trekking to the nearby minority villages, cycling, canyoning, kayaking, rock-climbing and rappelling.

Getting there:
Da Lat has a small domestic airport. It is a 45-minute-flight or a six-hour-drive from Ho Chi Minh City. It takes one hour and 40 minutes to get there from Hanoi.
Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate, dominated by the south or southwesterly monsoon from May to September and the northeast monsoon from October to April. The southern summer monsoon brings rain to the two deltas and west-facing slopes, while the cold winter monsoon picks up moisture over the Gulf of Tonkin and dumps it along the central coast and the eastern edge of the central highlands. Within this basic pattern there are marked differences according to altitude and latitude; temperatures in the south remain equable all year round, while the north experiences distinct seasonal variations.
In the past few years Vietnamese food has become more and more popular around the world. Food lovers may have tried the two best known Vietnamese dishes – spring rolls and bread rolls. Rice, noodles, fresh vegetable and herbs all play big roles in Vietnamese food, making it one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.
In Vietnam you’ll discover one unmistakable fact: Vietnamese people love noodles. They eat them every day, sometimes for every meal. Vietnamese noodles are made from a few basic ingredients, the most common being rice, wheat and mung beans, but a whole sub-cuisine is built on these basics.
