 Dalat,
capital
of
Lam
Dong
Province,
is
located
approximately
308km
northeast
of
Ho
Chi
Minh
City.
At
an
elevation
of
1,500m,
Dalat
bears
the
look
of
an
Old
French
city.
It
was
founded
in
1897
when
Doctor
Alexandre
Yersin
recommended
that
the
area
be
developed
as a
resort
town.
Dalat
has
many
natural
and
artificial
lakes
such
as
Ho
Xuan
Huong,
Than
Tho,
Da
Thien,
and
Tuyen
Lam
bordered
by
lines
of
pine
trees,
which
are
a
well-known
feature
of
Dalat.
A
trip
to
Dalat
is
not
complete
until
one
goes
to
the
Dalat
Flower
Gardens. |

The
temperate
climate
of
Dalat
is
suitable
for
flowers
such
as
orchids,
roses,
lilies,
and
camellias.
Nowadays,
tourists
not
only
limit
themselves
to
Dalat;
they
also
visit
the
area
of
Langbian
Highland
and
the
ethnic
minorities.
Langbian
Mountain's
highest
peak
at
2,165m
is
very
tempting
for
climbers.
From
Lom
Bieng
Klo
peak,
one
can
see
endless
green
mountains
reflecting
the
silver
rays
of
the
sun.
Many
tours
are
organized
in
the
area,
including
parachuting
and
climbing. |
