Dalat is a city in Lam Dong province, at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level. With many beautiful landscapes, it is an alternative Vietnam: the weather spring-like instead of tropical hot, the city dotted with elegant French villas rather than stark socialist architecture and the surrounding farms cultivating strawberries, coffee and flowers instead of rice. Known by many names like Flower city, Fog city and more, the moderate climate has made Dalat popular as a tourist destination also offering adventure-sports like canyoning, mountain biking, white-water rafting and treks into the surrounding hills.
