Da Lat never gets old for tourists due to its combination of both familiar and unique destinations, offering a plethora of new experiences.
Plan your romantic trip to Da Lat following in the footsteps of Khánh Thi and Phan Hiển
Da Lat is dubbed the city of love with its dreamy, tranquil, and romantic scenery, perfect for couples' getaways. The city of flowers always brings different feelings to visitors, making each visit a new experience. Therefore, in the eyes of distant travelers, traveling to Da Lat is a destination that is 'never old', never boring. Despite visiting this city many times, both Khánh Thi and Phan Hiển still hold beautiful impressions of Da Lat.
Cam Tu Cau Flower Garden
Cam Tu Cau Flower Garden became well-known to many tourists last year, after a unique wedding photo shoot taken here went viral. Since then, the garden has become famous and one of the must-visit destinations in Da Lat. Khánh Thi shares: 'When traveling to Da Lat, you must visit the Cam Tu Cau Flower Garden. The route is easy, from the city center of Da Lat, you go along National Highway 20 towards Trại Mát, about 500m from Trại Mát station, you will see a sign guiding you to the left into the Cam Tu Cau Flower Garden. Keep going straight to the end of the road and you will see the vast flower field. The entrance fee is 15,000 VND/person, if you want to buy flowers as gifts, you can ask the garden owner for more information!'.
Additionally, Khánh Thi shares a little tip for those who love unique architectural wonders. You should visit Linh Phuoc Pagoda (also known as Broken Glass Pagoda) on your right-hand side before turning into the flower field. This pagoda boasts colorful decorations made from broken pieces of pottery and porcelain, yet it maintains a solemn atmosphere.
Strawberry Fields
In Vietnam, there are not many places where strawberries thrive. Therefore, tours exploring strawberry fields are highly favored in Đà Lạt. Here, you can not only tour the fields, pick strawberries, eat them right in the garden, and buy finished strawberry products as gifts. In many fields, tourists are also taught how to effectively plant and care for strawberries.
Đà Lạt has quite a few strawberry fields open to visitors such as Biofresh, Japanese strawberry garden, Hiệp Lực garden, Nguyễn Lâm Thanh garden, Nguyễn Thành Trung garden, 88 strawberry garden, Uncle Hùng's garden… The area around Thánh Mẫu street gathers the most strawberry fields, among which Biofresh strawberry garden stands out with its charming, clean, and airy space. Not far from the city center, located within the premises of Hồ Than Thở tourist area, situated at 17 Vòng Lâm Viên, ward 8, Đà Lạt, the garden covers an area of 3 hectares.
Da Lat Night Market
Apart from its beautiful landscapes, Đà Lạt is also beloved for its diverse and unique street foods. A must-visit destination in the city of thousands of flowers is the night market located right in the heart of Đà Lạt, offering a plethora of local specialties, which taste even better when enjoyed in the chilly atmosphere of the highland night.
To prepare for your 'eat around the world' journey at the Da Lat night market, you can try dishes like grilled sweet potatoes, fragrant grilled corn, just like the couple Khánh Thi - Phan Hiển. Right from the beginning of the market, at the Hồ Xuân Hương roundabout direction, you can already see these stalls. One delicacy that contributes to the culinary fame of Da Lat is grilled rice paper, cheap, delicious, perfect for the chilly weather with flavors of shallots, quail eggs, minced meat, dried shrimp, chili sauce... To satisfy your hunger, you can choose from dishes like crab soup, rice noodle soup, or hu tieu at the food court near the left entrance of the market. Additionally, other dishes like crab soup and corn sticky rice are also suitable for the chilly night weather.
Da Lat Railway Station
Da Lat Railway Station - the oldest station in Indochina - is now not used to serve locals but mainly for tourism. Built by the French from 1932 to 1938, it was completed as the terminal station on the 84 km Phan Rang - Da Lat Railway line. The station features unique architecture with three pointed roofs, resembling the three peaks of Langbiang Mountain or the longhouses of the Central Highlands, and is recognized as a national-level historical-cultural relic. Nowadays, the station is a popular spot for young people to take photos with its 'divine' angles, exuding a nostalgic charm.
