Up in the luscious mountainous terrain as you diverge further from the coast a sparkling town provides an escape from coastal Vietnamese scenery and ambience. The vibe in Dalat is as cool as the damp misty air that courses through its quaint streets. The French colonial roots are anything but forgotten and the result is an overwhelmingly pleasant location surrounded by natural beauty that rivals anywhere in Vietnam. Waterfalls, rivers, mountains, and paddy fields quilt the undulating land that surrounds Dalat, embodying rural Vietnam and providing plentiful reason to explore.
