Vietnam Travel - Dalat Attractions
|
Emperor Bao Dai's Summer Palace is stuffed with interesting art and
artifacts, and is well worth a look. It's also interesting to stroll around
the old French Quarter, which is little changed since the French departed.
The Valley of Love, 5km (3mi) north of the city centre, is a bizarre place
with a carnival-style atmosphere where you can hire a paddle boat on the
lake, or a horse from one of the Dalat Cowboys (no relation to the Dallas
Cowboys), who are, indeed, dressed as cowboys.
There are some pleasant walks or rides (on horseback or bicycle) in the
countryside around the city, but be aware that areas signposted with a
C-sign are off-limits to foreigners. Further out, you can visit the villages
of some of the hill tribes, such as Lat Village and the Chicken Village
(with a huge statue of a chicken).
Dalat is famous for its cafes and is a paradise for people who love fresh
vegetables. It's extremely popular with domestic tourists and honeymooners,
so there's a wide range of accommodation options. You can fly to Dalat from
Ho Chi Minh City, but the airport is 30km (19mi) from town; express buses
also link the two cities.

Sofitel
Dalat Palace     
Dalat, often called the City of Eternal Spring, is probably one of the most
delightful destinations in Vietnam and home to the boutique-style Sofitel.
Built in 1922, this stunning property has been recently restored to its
former grandeur and is surrounded by lakes, waterfalls, and one of Asia's
premier golf courses. Luxuriously-appointed rooms, gourmet restaurants and
well-stocked bars combined with excellent conference and recreational
facilities, the Dalat Palace golf course and mountainous countryside, have
made this French colonial property a must to return to. |
