It's not by chance that Da Lat is known as the city of love, the city of a thousand flowers, the land of mist, or the 'mini Paris' of Vietnam, weaving its charm into the hearts of visitors with its captivating lakes shimmering like graceful young maidens.
Xuan Huong Lake
Xuan Huong Lake stands as one of the most beautiful lakes in Da Lat, nestled right in the city center, often hailed as the 'heart' of Da Lat.
The crescent-shaped lake stretching 7 km has become a symbol of Dalat, whether day or night, that moon frame remains enchanting. Welcoming the dawn, the lake is covered in early morning mist accompanied by the chirping of birds, and as night falls, it glimmers as if adorned with gold. Here, visitors can stop by lakeside cafes to enjoy the fresh air or opt for a romantic ride on swan boats or tandem bicycles along the lake shore.
Lament Lake
“Dalat has Cam Ly waterfall
And Lament Lake where souls sigh”
Lament Lake is one of the renowned tourist destinations in Dalat, located 6 km from the city center atop a high hill, north of the city, amidst serene pine forests.
Visiting Lament Lake, you'll immerse yourself in a cool, tranquil atmosphere, listening to the rustling of pine trees and the whispering of the wind, as if lamenting a beautiful yet tragic love story of the hero under the Tây Sơn dynasty, Hoàng Tùng, and his beloved Mai Nương. Out of longing for this romance, every early morning or twilight, the thousands of pines by the lake play a melancholic melody as if sighing with regret and sorrow.
Lament Lake has been developed for tourism, offering numerous activities for visitors. Here, you can stroll on lush green meadows, admire the shadowy pines reflecting on the lake, or ride horses around the lake like a true wanderer...
Tuyen Lam Lake
Tuyen Lam Lake is one of the most stunning natural lakes in the country, situated near the Phoenix Mountain – where the Truc Lam Zen Monastery is located, just 7 km from the city center.
The lake is surrounded by pristine evergreen pine forests and numerous verdant islets scattered across its surface.
Throughout the year, Tuyen Lam Lake exudes its own unique beauty. On dry, sunny days, golden sunlight sparkles, filtering through the shadowy pines onto the clear blue lake, while on rainy days, delicate raindrops merge with distant mist, draping the mountain slopes like a dreamy veil. The sound of rain and wind blends into the melancholic atmosphere.
Tuyen Lam Lake is truly a magnificent destination that visitors should explore at least once when visiting Dalat. Here, don't forget to take a boat ride on the lake, admire the picturesque landscapes, and savor the mountainous specialties.

Viewed from Ngoan Muc Pass, Da Nhim Lake resembles a picturesque landscape, harmonizing with Dalat's natural mountainous scenery. As dusk descends, a deep purple hue blankets the lake like ripe clusters of grapes, creating a mystical beauty unmatched by any other.
Da Nhim Lake is a splendid fusion of land, water, and sky, creating a magnificent panorama for Dalat that attracts many visitors.
Golden Stream Lake
Golden Stream Lake is one of the famous tourist spots in Dalat, located 12 kilometers north of Dalat city center. The lake resembles a young maiden immersed amidst lush green pine hills.
The lake consists of two small branches, Dankia and Ankroet, separated by the Ankroet dam blocking the Da Dung River. Nearby is the Ankoret waterfall, where the first hydroelectric plant in Dalat was built.
