The treehouse accommodation at Dam B’ri waterfall eco-tourism area
Nestled amidst tea hills, strawberry fields, and lush coffee plantations, the Dam B’ri waterfall eco-tourism area is a natural marvel. With cascades towering over 60m high, day and night, colossal water masses plunge from above, creating a mystical and majestic spectacle. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in nature with a plethora of enticing outdoor activities, including staying overnight in treehouse accommodations.
The treehouse model, elevated 3m above ground and snugly nestled against ancient tree trunks, promises an exciting experience for visitors. Treehouse rental: 800,000 VND per night for 2 persons, inclusive of breakfast, coffee, and soft drinks.
Temple of Tranquil Serenity
Located approximately 21km south of Bao Loc city lies the Temple of Tranquil Serenity, nestled atop Hill 45 in Loc Thanh, Bao Lam, Lam Dong. This ethereal sanctuary boasts celestial 'gateways,' offering panoramic vistas where one can immerse in vast expanses, harmonizing with the heavens and earth, amidst the mountains and valleys.
To reach the Temple of Tranquil Serenity from Bao Loc city, take Tran Phu road until the Dai Binh intersection, then turn right. Proceed along Loc Thanh commune road (National Route 55), passing Loc Thanh market and Da Trang bridge. Continue straight, passing Niết Bàn pagoda, then turn right at the next intersection. Keep straight, then turn left towards the cultural village (Thon 4 - Loc Thanh commune). After passing through the cultural village for about 2km (look for a small alley on the left), turn left uphill, then follow signs (Quan Chieu Duong) to reach the Temple of Tranquil Serenity.
Dam B’ri Reservoir
Located 18 km from Bao Loc city in the direction of Dam B’ri commune. Upon reaching the Dam B’ri junction, continue southeast towards Loc Tan commune (Bao Lam district) until you reach Cau Tre factory. Proceed another 10 km following signs for the 'Main Dam' to discover the stunning azure waters of the reservoir.
Spanning approximately 20 hectares, the reservoir's deep blue waters create an illusion of a 'sea' amidst the mountainous terrain. This hidden gem retains the pristine natural beauty of the forests, yet the journey to reach it presents challenges with several difficult passages.
Tâm Châu Tea Hill
Known as the city of tea, Bao Loc boasts the largest area of tea cultivation in Lam Dong province, as well as the largest area of tea cultivation in the Central Highlands and Southern provinces. The predominant tea variety here is Oolong tea, with short stems. The B’lao tea brand (formerly known as Bao Loc) has long been familiar to tea lovers. B’lao tea lacks the bitterness of northern tea, it's more astringent, with a sweet aftertaste and a delightful aroma.
While lacking the long history of Cau Dat Tea Hill (Dalat), Tâm Châu Tea Hill still captivates visitors. If possible, wake up early and come here when the morning mist still lingers, marvel at the dewdrops clinging to the leaves, stroll along the dirt roads around the lake, and savor a steaming hot cup of tea in your hands.
Dam B’ri Waterfall
Located 18km from the center of Bao Loc city, standing nearly 57m tall and 30m wide, Dam B’ri is the tallest and most majestic waterfall in Lam Dong. From this height, the water cascades down, creating a misty veil. On sunny days, visitors are treated to a breathtaking rainbow at their feet.
At the foot of the waterfall lies a small moss-covered bridge, exuding a romantic and poetic charm, leaving visitors in awe. Additionally, visiting Dam B’ri in late October or early November, visitors have the chance to admire the vibrant pink flowers in full bloom.
Nam Phuong Lake
Less than 2km from the center of Bao Loc city, Nam Phuong Lake is a familiar destination for locals to picnic, play, or admire the romantic scenery. With an area of nearly 100 hectares, Nam Phuong Lake is divided into two parts: Nam Phuong Lake I and Nam Phuong Lake II, separated by a dam about 150m long.
Spacious and cool, this place stands out. Surrounding Nam Phuong Lake are lush greenery, and from afar, you can even see the distant mountains peeking through the morning mist, evening clouds,... all simple and rustic, but making time seem to slow down.
Bat Nha Monastery
When mentioning Bao Loc, one cannot overlook Bat Nha Monastery. Just the name alone evokes a sense of serenity. As a spiritual tourism destination, Bat Nha exudes a tranquil atmosphere, with hidden altars amidst cool pine forests. Here, visitors can sightsee, participate in Buddhist rituals, and stay overnight in clean guesthouses. The water used in the monastery is drawn from the streams in the forest, abundant and cool all year round.
Di Da Pagoda – Tam Hop Waterfall
At Cõi Riêng, beverages are crafted with utmost care to cater even to the most discerning palates. Here, you can relish a variety of hot teas like peach tea, ginger tea, honey chamomile tea, honey green tea, or coffee brewed in different styles. If you seek a tranquil space to work, read, write, unwind, and enjoy warm drinks amidst Bảo Lộc's chilly weather, Cõi Riêng is truly the ideal choice.
