Admire the mist covering the streets
Unlike many places in our country, summer is the time when bright sunlight shines relentlessly. Da Lat has its own way, as this is when the sky often rains accompanied by mist shrouding the streets.
Rain or mist is not an obstacle, but it becomes a symbol, a 'specialty' that many tourists wish to enjoy. After the rain, the air becomes fresher, but the mist still envelops the city, slowing down the bustling pace of life, making everyone want to gently savor the moment.
