Da Lat. Known as the city of eternal spring,
Da Lat sits high up in the mountains of southern Vietnam. From the most scenic cafes in Vietnam to
pine forests, peaceful lakes and cozy streets tucked between the hills, Da Lat is a city you
would want to live in. Let me show you how to spend three days in Da Lat. We arrived in the
evening, checked into our hotel and went straight to the Da Lat night market.
The next morning, we didn't waste any time and headed straight for the cable car.
At the top, Truc Lam Temple, a peaceful temple surrounded by forest. From there,
we walked down a forest path that eventually led us to a lake view cafe.
We kept wandering around the lake and stumbled upon Xoi Binh Yen.
If you're enjoying the video so far, a quick thumbs up really helps the channel grow.
Next, we headed to Happy Hill Coffee. The place overlooks a beautiful flower garden
with views down to the lake, where small fishing boats quietly pass by.

dinner inside the night market.
And to end the day, we headed up for night views over the city.
So
we started the morning at Linh Phuoc temple, one of the most unique temples in Vietnam.
Next, we went view hunting.
From there, we visited the flower field just outside the city.
It's colorful, very photogenic and definitely one of Dalat's classic stops.
For lunch, we headed to a garden restaurant perched on a hill,
surrounded by greenery and beautiful views over the landscape.
Later in the afternoon, we explored around the lake in the city center.
And to end the night, we went to Dean Bar.
We
started our final day in Dalat by exploring the downtown. First stop, Jera Egg Coffee.
Then we drove out to Que Garden, a Japanese-style garden surrounded by bonsai trees and mountain
views. For lunch, we went to a local favorite, and this one is a must. Later we went to Dalat
Garden for a drink.
while walking around the city, I noticed a long line of locals waiting at a small
stall with a granny behind.
For dinner, we went for a Vietnamese barbecue at Chang Vang.
