When Doctor Alexandre Yersin on his way searching for medicine found the area at altitude of 1,475 meters about sea level in 1897, the French developed it into a resort town and nick-named it 'Paris of the East'. It locates in Lam Dong Province, 300 km from Ho Chi Minh City and is surrounded by forests, coffee plantations and gardens.. In the last 45 years, this town was always a favorite honeymoon spot. The Vietnam’s last emperor Bao Dai built a summer home in Dalat in 1933. Dalat’s temperatures is usually between a cool 15 and 24 degrees Celcius. Dalat is also famous for its golf course, colonial-era villas, stone churches, Xuan Huong Lake, town market and orchid garden, where visitors can see rare blue orchids.

I was in Dalat, on and off, from 1967 till 1985. Needless to say, this city engraved in my memory a lot of souvenirs. I thought all has been buried. Now you upturned everything in me...
You stated that Dalat’s temperatures is usually between a cool 15 and 24 degrees Celcius. Actually, in lunar calendar New Year 1984, it dropped down to 6°C. I just cannot forgot that evening...

Thanks for posting this. Regards,

Hello, Huy!
