Located at 1 Hoa Binh (right by Da Lat market), Windmill Bakery stands out with its golden wall adorned with words drawn in a style reminiscent of the past.

Although the wall has been repainted with vibrant phoenix flower motifs, its allure and influence over time cannot be denied.
Even though it has donned a new coat, the golden wall still holds a special place in the hearts of visitors.
A small note: it's advisable to park your vehicle before returning for photos, as this area tends to get crowded with vehicles, and the road is narrow, which could disrupt traffic.
One thing worth mentioning is the quality of the sandwiches here. For just 15,000 VND, you can get a hearty sandwich filled with meat. A crispy baguette, combined with meat, vegetables, and sauce, gives you a satisfying and heartwarming breakfast on chilly days in Da Lat.
Another must-visit spot in Da Lat is Cau Dat Tea Hill. Although it's a bit far from the city center, you'll be rewarded with the refreshing greenery of vast tea hills and a stunning route lined with romantic pine forests.

One thing I absolutely love here is the free entrance and parking. Once you arrive, you can simply park your vehicle and enjoy unlimited photo opportunities.

Around the time I visited Da Lat a few months ago, there was also the Cau Dat Tea Hill Coffee Shop. However, due to a storm, the owner was concerned for safety reasons and relocated it about 300 meters away. What a pity!
