Da Nhim


The photo depicts fanciful grassy hills in the mist in Da Nhim, Lac Duong, about 40 km east of Da Lat. 

In addition to losing green space, Da Lat is deserted this summer and the tourism industry is affected by Covid-19. As of the morning of July 31, Lam Dong province had 47 Covid-19 patients in 8 districts and cities. All gateways to the center of Da Lat city are locked and strictly controlled. 

There are no leisurely pedestrians, no hawkers in public places, and no tourist convoys running around Da Lat.

Suoi Vang Dam


 

Golden sunshine reflects on the area of Suoi Vang Dam (or Ankroet Dam), surrounded by pine forest in Lac Duong district, about 15 km from Da Lat. 

This dam, built of split stone, 97 m long, 10 m high, is an indispensable attraction in the journey to discover Dan Kia - Suoi Vang valley. 

Visitors choose Da Lat as a place to visit, relax and enjoy the fresh, cold air. But now Da Lat is losing its green areas, from illegal exploitation of forest resources, and the cold in the plateau is also losing its specificity.  

When the city became crowded, some chose to go further to the suburbs to photograph the white misty plateau.

Da Sar in Dalat


White clouds float on pine hills in Da Sar, Lac Duong district, about 20 km from Da Lat. 

International and domestic tourists choose Da Lat as a must-visit place to relax and enjoy the fresh, cold air. But now Da Lat is losing its green areas, from illegal exploitation of forest resources, and the cold in the plateau is also losing its specificity.  

When the city became crowded, some chose to go further to the suburbs to capture photographs of the white misty plateau.

Vegetable Garden in Dalat

Pine Hill

 

Dawn on a pine forest and greenhouses in Tuy Son village, Xuan Tho commune. To have an opportunity for  you to capture painting-like photos, you have to wake up early at dawn, then up to 7 am is ideal period for taking photos.

Tuyen Lam Lake in Dalat


 One of the ideal places to hunt for dewing in Da Lat is in the flooded forest of Tuyen Lam Lake. This is the largest freshwater lake in Da Lat, about 7 km from the city center in the direction of National Highway 20 to Prenn Pass.  

A young photographer capturing the moment of a new day on Tuyen Tam lake brings an interesting feeling. A corner of the forest appears as beautiful as a painting, thanks to the early morning sunshining through the foliage. This is also the only flooded forest in Dalat.

Bai Tu Long Bay

Cruise programs often combine many outdoor activities such as exploring Thien Canh Son cave in Cong Do reserve on Bai Tu Long Bay. Visitors climb nearly 100 stone steps to reach the mouth of the cave. From there, they can see the corner of the bay surrounded by green trees.

In addition, many cruise ships have routes through Sung Sot cave, Sang Toi cave, and Titop island.

Than Tho Lake in Dalat

 

A herd of gallant horses is grazing under the rays of the sun through the green pine trees at Than Tho Lake. 

This is a tourist attraction located in the middle of the wild pine forest, associated with the sad love story of "two grave pine hill", about 6 km from the center of Da Lat, along the road Quang Trung

Golf Course Cu Hill

 

 
Dalat is in middle of Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, all non-essential services have to be closed down. In such a situation, the golf course next to Xuan Huong lake, with a view of Da Lat PEdagogical College in the distance is deserted.  
 
Photos of the mountain town shows that Da Lat has less and less "green areas" when many buildings, restaurants, and hotels are in shade, and the city becomes more crowded. A regret for Dalat lovers.
