Dalat travel guide

Dalat travel guide
The largest and by far the most ‘touristed' town in the Central Highlands, Dalat is the capital of Lam Dong province. The bracing, cool mountain climate that Dalat enjoys at an altitude of 1,500m (4,920ft), its large open spaces, picturesque waterfalls, colonial architecture and incredibly fresh produce provide respite for those wishing to escape the heat and humidity of Ho Chi Minh City and the lowlands of southern Vietnam. Annual temperatures range between a comfortable 16°C (61°F) and 24°C (75°F), making the city Vietnam’s most popular fair-weather retreat – and its top honeymoon destination.
It is easy to see why the French were so enamoured of Dalat during the colonial days and why it was the favourite getaway for the last emperor, Bao Dai. During the American war, the city remained a haven of peace, and as a result, Dalat’s beautiful colonial architecture has been preserved as nowhere else in Vietnam. It is a wonderful city to explore on foot. Although largely assimilated now, local ethnic minorities can still be seen walking to the market in quasi-traditional dress, with baskets and large jars hanging on their backs. Indochina tours Vietnam
Da Lat’s appeal continues as it now enjoys popularity as a vacation spot for domestic tourists. As one local explained, Da Lat experiences four seasons in one day. When you wake, the weather will feel like spring. Midday temperatures rise to a summery 24 degrees Celsius. At four o’clock the air turns as crisp as an autumn’s day. By nightfall, it’s winter – at least by Vietnamese standards. Judging by all the thick puffy jackets for sale at the market, you’d think it was Siberia. For most, the 15-degree nights are refreshing and pleasant. Come prepared with a warm layer. Vietnam travel tours

Da Lat has waterfalls
Da Lat’s cooler temperature is good explanation for why it has become the wedding and honeymoon capital of Vietnam. Vietnamese couples flock to the city for romantic getaways and what better way to stay warm then to cuddle with your sweetheart. You’ll see pairs strolling holding hands and canoodling beside the lake. If you’re a solo traveller, you’ll feel a little out of place in the Valley of Love.
Tourist attractions in Da Lat fall into two categories: those targeting domestic tourists and those for international tourists. The former are heavy on the kitsch and will have foreigners scratching their heads at concrete animals, costume photo ops and horses painted with zebra stripes. For Western tourists, Da Lat is about waterfalls and countryside, and the best way to explore both is on two wheels, whether you are driving yourself or you ride pillion.
Places to visit in Central Dalat<
Central Market
Dalat’s Central Market (Cho Da Lat) is one of the largest in the country, set in the deep hollow of a hillside and surrounded by rows of cafés and shops selling wine and candied fruit. The food is the highlight here. The second floor of the middle building is devoted entirely to food stalls. The ground floor of the market offers a peek into the great diversity of produce grown in the surrounding region: tomatoes, avocados, asparagus, strawberries and just about any other fruit you can think of, as well as flowers in abundance.
Summer Palace of Bao Dai
Tucked away under pine trees at Trieu Viet Vuong Street is the Summer Palace of Bao Dai (Biet Dien Quoc Truong). This Art Deco-influenced abode of Vietnam’s last emperor was built between 1933 and 1938. Also referred to as Dinh III, it is actually one of three palaces (the others being Dinh I and Dinh II, neither of which is currently open to the public) belonging to Bao Dai in Dalat. It’s said that all three are connected by tunnels so that the emperor could secretly visit his mistresses in each one. Although guides will say that the furnishings and artefacts in the house were used by Bao Dai, it is a well-known fact that many of his belongings were carted away in the early years. Outside the mansion, a carnival-like atmosphere prevails, with souvenir vendors, pony rides and Disney characters. To appreciate the villa better, visit it right after it opens in the morning, or just before lunch.
Lam Dong Museum
On Hung Vuong Street is the Lam Dong Museum (Bao Tang Lam Dong), an excellent museum that has been recognised by the United Nations for its extensive collection of musical gongs used by the local K’ho, Ma and Churu minorities. Other exhibits include an impressive taxidermy collection of local wildlife; ancient relics from the Champa empire excavated near Cat Tien National Park, with others from recent excavations throughout the province; and full-sized Ma and K’ho tribal longhouses, decorated with musical instruments, weapons and common household items.

Top palces travel in Cambodia

Things to do in Cambodia
Hit up the markets in Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh is perhaps not quite as compelling as other capitals in Southeast Asia with fewer things to do, but an enjoyable activity here is to visit the food markets during the day or at night. If you love to see a lot of hustle and bustle, you will love these markets. At the central Night Market you can purchase some great inexpensive food, and in what I think might be unique for a market in Southeast Asia you can eat your food while sitting down on blankets, picnic-style. It’s a fun way to enjoy some local food with your traveller friends. Travel Indochina Cambodia

You can buy anything at the markets… even stacks of counterfeit money
Visit the harrowing (but unmissable) genocide museums
Yes, it’s unpleasant, but it’s something you have to see to truly understand Cambodia’s recent history. In Phnom Penh, go to the S20 museum, which is a former school that was turned into a brutal prison during the Pol Pot regime. Be sure to visit the Killing Fields museum as well: it’s a place where thousands of people were systematically murdered in the most horrific of ways.
  You may need some mental detox after visiting these museums. When I was done with them I felt a strong desire to curl up into fetal position and listen to a few hours of smooth jazz to bring me back down. The “tree” at the Killing Fields is particularly horrific (people who have been there will know what I mean). While there is nothing graphic at these sites, the audio guide is evocative and difficult to swallow at times. This is humanity at its darkest. Travel to Cambodia
SIHANOUKVILLE
Despite a reputation for backpacker hedonism, Sihanoukville’s real appeal lies in its beaches. On nearby islands like Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, resorts are creating a laid-back beach-bungalow vibe. On the mainland, it’s only 5km from Sihanoukville’s grittier central beach, Occheuteal, to Otres Beach, mellow and sublime despite the long-looming threat of development. More central Victory Beach, Independence Beach, Sokha Beach, and even Occheuteal and backpacker favourite Serendipity Beach all have their charms. BATTAMBANG
The real Cambodia, far from the jetset destinations of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Unfurling along the banks of the Sangker River, Battambang is one of the country’s best-preserved colonial-era towns. Shophouses host everything from fair-trade cafes to bike excursions. Beyond the town lie the Cambodian countryside and a cluster of ancient temples – while they’re not exactly Angkor Wat, they lack the crowds. Further afield is Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary, a world-class bird sanctuary.
KAMPOT AND KEP
Kampot Province has emerged as one of Cambodia’s most alluring destinations thanks to a hard-to-beat combination of old colonial architecture, abundant natural attractions and easy intra-regional transport. Enchanted visitors often end up staying in the sleepy, atmospheric provincial capital of Kampot rather longer than planned. Nearby Kep is but a hop away and the province is riddled with honeycombed limestone caves, some providing shelter to centuries-old brick temples from the pre-Angkorian period.

Night market in Dalat

The night market is located in the Hoa Binh Zone, in the area around Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, Le Dai Hanh Street and Tang Bat Ho Street, within walking distance of many restaurants. On weekends walkers can stroll to the market on a pedestrian walkway that was opened in Dalat on November 2003. Tourists should note that all vehicles are forbidden on this walkway between 7p.m. to 10 p.m. MEKONG SECRET

The history of Dalat Market is also interesting. Originally named “Wood Market”, the market was built in 1929 by French ambassador Chassaing and was located at the site where the Hoa Binh Theatre is nowadays. The market was made from pine wood, which is the reason people call it Wood Market. It burned down in 1937 and was rebuilt in brick. In 1958 the market was moved its present location. Paradise Cruise Halong bay

A unique feature of the night market is the “shouting market” which can be found on the upper floor of the market, near the bridge, where clothes are sold. The vendors display their clothes from 4 p.m. and when the buyers start to wander in the rhythmic shouting of the sellers trying to attract their attention can be heard all around the area, giving it the name “shouting market”. The market sells mainly sweaters and jackets in many different sizes and colours at surprisingly cheap prices. Shoppers should not forget to bargain; sweaters can be purchased for anything from VND 20,000 to VND 80,000.

Leaving the shouting market, tourists can stroll past kiosks in Hoa Binh Town, and perhaps drop into a pine tree crafting shop to buy a piece of pine tree with their name engraved for a souvenir, before walking down the stairs into the Hoa Binh Zone to Dalat Market.

The street in front of Dalat night market is lighted with neon lights from the shops in the street sides. Canvas is spread on the streets to display hand-knit jumpers, woollen hats, woollen scarves, and much more. The sellers do not shout in this market but the atmosphere is also lively. Here shoppers will find Dalat ethnic fabric items with higher prices; for example, a small ethnic fabric purse will cost VND 30,000. Nevertheless, tourists will appreciate the beautiful fabrics and the variety of items available.

Dalat Night Market also has a food-corner offering dishes made from shellfish and duck eggs. Steaming hot pots of shell-fish and duck eggs are hard to resist in the colder climate of Dalat. Enjoying this special dish with hot soya milk on a cool evening is an unforgettable memory. The market also sells vegetable for tourists to buy as gifts to take home for their friends.
