2 enchanting photo spots in Da Lat that are familiar yet breathtaking
As my goal for this trip was to capture beautiful photos, I researched many locations. According to Dương Thùy Thái, despite the rainy and chilly weather around 1 PM, we managed to capture dazzling photos and still had plenty of time for sightseeing and dining. So, I'll share some tips with you.
Homestay Haven
Located at 77 Hoang Dieu Street (1.5km from the city center), this is a perfect choice if the unpredictable weather of Da Lat disappoints you. Even amidst a storm, you can still have a stunning photoshoot here.
All decor corners look incredibly charming and rustic. At night, they are also very dazzling... all bedrooms have a lovely vintage style.
Làng Cù Lần Route
The route from the city center to 'Làng Cù Lần' is about 20-30km. It might sound a bit far, but don't hesitate because it's better to go far once than wander around looking for a tired spot that's not beautiful and takes more time. It takes about 30 minutes by car, and you'll encounter pine forests, countless beautiful bends in the road, lakes, and streams. These are also the places featured in the music video 'Tháng 4 là lời dối của em' ('April is a Lie of Mine').
The pine forest is on your right-hand side as you go. Pay attention because there are quite a few forests, but the most beautiful spot is near a slope, with a small sign 'Làng Cù Lần' opposite the pine forest leading to a lush green grass field with pine trees on the right. There's a path lined with trees and a small stream down to the golden valley. Also, on that route, when returning from the pine forest, it's on your right-hand side. You can ask the locals for directions to make it easier. Leave around 8:30 in the morning to start snapping pictures, and return to the homestay for a rest around 12:30.
That's just two spots but enough for an album full of unique and beautiful photos. Especially, all the photos in my album were taken with a phone.
Apart from these two spots, when in Da Lat, you should also check out places like the chicken church, Lam Vien square, children's house, Da Lat station...
