Chronicles of Da Lat
Da Lat, the 'City of Eternal Spring', was founded in 1907 as a French colonial hill station. The city's architecture reflects its French heritage, with grand villas, churches, and colonial-era buildings. Da Lat's scenic landscapes, mild climate, and natural hot springs made it a popular retreat for the French, who built many of the city's iconic landmarks. Today, Da Lat is a cultural melting pot, blending Vietnamese, French, and indigenous Khmer influences. Its Xuan Huong Lake, a tranquil oasis in the city, is a hub for water sports and picnics, attracting locals and visitors alike.

Anywhere in Da Lat (including airport or city) → Binh Yen Hotel or any local point
