📍 Destination Overview
Da Lat, at 1,500 meters in central Vietnam, was founded by French colonists and remains Vietnam's most romantic highland retreat. Hundreds of pink, yellow, and white colonial villas dot pine groves and gardens, earning it 'Little Paris of the East'. With spring-like weather all year and the eccentric Crazy House, it is a beloved cool getaway.
