Rent a paddleboat at sunrise, sample freshly made artichoke tea from street vendors, or wander the weekend night market that lines its shores for local handicrafts and street food.
• Da Lat Railway Station: Just 1.5 kilometers away, this 1930s art deco colonial landmark is one of Vietnam’s oldest operating train stations. Catch the scenic 30-minute heritage train to the village of Trai Mat to visit a centuries-old Buddhist temple and pick up handmade silk souvenirs.

Travel Tips

Da Lat’s mountain climate stays cool year-round, so pack light layers to take advantage of the resort’s outdoor seating and evening walks. If traveling with kids, request a connecting family room in advance, and ask the concierge to book a spot in the on-site children’s play area before arrival. For a memorable morning, order in-room breakfast and enjoy your meal on your terrace overlooking the resort’s garden before heading out to explore. The central location means you can walk to most central attractions, but grab a local Grab bike or taxi for trips further afield to Crazy House or the surrounding hills—always agree on a fare upfront if hiring a traditional taxi to avoid overcharging.
