About Dalat:

Built on a plateau 1,500 metres above sea level, Dalat was such a favourite retreat of the colonial French that it became known as "Le Petit Paris." A cool retreat from the heat of the coastal plains and the Mekong Delta, Dalat has a refreshingly mild climate accompanied by a pretty landscape of waterfalls, lakes, springs, pine hills, and French built villas. It’s also a good base for visiting local tribal villages outside the town. Some villages, like Lat Village and the Chicken Village (with a huge statue of a chicken) are close to Dalat itself.

Nestled amongst the green, rolling hills of central-southern Vietnam, Dalat was originally a summer retreat for the colonial French who came here to enjoy the town's charms and take the mountain air. The city's temperatures hover between 15ºC to 25ºC all year round making it an ideal travel destination at any time of year and earning Dalat the soubriquet "City of Eternal Spring". The city and its surroundings have a distinctive romantic flavour, especially the graceful architecture of the older hotels in Dalat itself: colonial classics exuding character and charm.
