Overview

About this Tour

Da Lat is 150 km away from Nha Trang. Dalat is the capital of Lam Dong Province in southern Vietnam's Central Highlands, centered around a lake and golf course, surrounded by hills, pine forests, lakes and waterfalls. Known as the "City of Eternal Spring" for its distinctive temperate climate, Da Lat was developed as a resort by the French in the early 1900s, and many reminders of its colonial heritage remain. Dalat holds some very unique European influence architecture and has a cooler climate than the surrounding areas. Dalat today is famed as the city of Love and flowers, and has become a popular holiday retreat for young Vietnamese couples.

Hydrangea Flower Garden
Hydrangea Flower Garden

At fifteen hundred metres the air stays cool enough to grow flowers that won't take the lowland heat — which is why Dalat supplies most of Vietnam's cut blooms. The hydrangeas run in banks of blue and pink, the colour set by the acid in the soil itself.

Visit Crazy House

Crazy House
Crazy House

A five-storey concrete tree — all caves, tunnels, and stairways with no railings — built from paintings rather than blueprints by Đặng Việt Nga, a Moscow-trained architect and daughter of a former Party general secretary. Call it Gaudí in the pines: still half-finished after thirty-odd years, and you can book a room inside it.

Visit old railway station

Its was designed in 1932 by French architect Moncet & Reveron, open in 1938.

Dalat Old Railway Station
Dalat Old Railway Station

Vietnam's highest and oldest station, an Art Deco landmark from 1938 whose three peaked roofs echo the three summits of Langbiang. It was the top of a rack-and-pinion railway that hauled itself up from the coast at Phan Rang — the war ended the line, but a steam engine still sits on the platform and a short heritage run survives out to Trại Mát.

14:30

Visit Domain Church

The Church history’ goes back to ite initial construction in 1940 is French & Vietnamese style architecture

Domaine de Marie Church
Domaine de Marie Church

Salmon-pink walls on a hilltop, raised between 1930 and 1943 as a French convent — 17th-century French lines under a roof that borrows the steep pitch of a Central Highlands communal house. The governor-general's wife funded it and is buried out back; she died on the Prenn Pass, the same climb up from the coast you'll have ridden in on.

Dalat countryside motorbike tour

Our second motorbike tour, well organised by Thomas was awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 guides we had, on the back of their motorbikes going through the countryside of DaLat. Saw Coffee plantation, silkworms and how silk is made, Elephant waterfall, Pagoda, Laughing Buddha, Lunch at local restaurant, 360 degree view of DaLat and flower farm. A great way to see DaLat.

Tiring, but an adventure!

Thomas is a great guide, kind, caring, humorous and always makes sure you are safe and comfortable. He’s also a good photographer and has endless patience to take photos of you if you travel alone like I did :) I really enjoyed spending hours on the bike with him. The landscape on the road was beautiful, though the city of Da Lat itself was a bit underwhelming. I still enjoyed many of the places we visited, though.
