DA LAT

• VIETNAM

Da Lat has long been the most popular holiday spot since French colonial times. Many call it "Le Petit Paris" and the city even has a mini-replica of the Eiffel tower in its center! Located on a plateau at 1,500 meters above sea level, this holiday town offers a good change of air with a refreshing climate while other cities in Vietnam can be very hot and humid especially during the summer. Pants and sweaters are necessary if you visit Dalat from November to March, as temperatures are around 10 ° C.
Da Lat is famous for its great variety of flowers, vegetables and fruit from the surrounding land and countless natural sites; its beautiful landscape, evergreen forests and villages of minorities. The main sources of income in the area come from agriculture and the tourism industry, but the city is also very proud of being an educational center that produces professionals every year including doctors and architects (Dalat University has more than 13,000 students). So there is a good chance that visitors will meet young, enthusiastic and friendly Vietnamese from every corner of the country.
