Dalat city

1, Overview

Da Lat is the capital of Lam Dong Province and the largest city of the Central Highlands region in Vietnam. The city is located 1,500 m above sea level on the Langbian Plateau. 

The city's temperate weather stands in contrast to Vietnam's otherwise tropical climate.

Residents and tourists have said that Da Lat has all four seasons in one day: spring in the morning, summer at noon, autumn in the afternoon and winter at night, from the sunset to the sunrise

This mountain resort town was once a summer getaway for the French, who left their mark in the European-inspired architecture and countless lakes. Da Lat's main lake is the center of the action, but amazing natural wonders await in the hills all around.
