Trip to Da Lat, Vietnam 🇻🇳

It was a short trip with family to Da Lat, Vietnam. We started our journey by visiting Da Lat Cathedral, nicknamed “Chicken Church” ⛪️ because of the rooster statue on its bell tower. The French colonial architecture is stunning, especially in the early morning light when the church glows softly under the sun ☀️ The peaceful atmosphere here set the tone for our trip. 📍15 Đường Trần Phú, Phường 3, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng From there, we explored Da Lat Railway Station 🚉 which feels like stepping back in time. The vintage trains and art-deco style architecture are a photographer’s paradise. We found that mid-morning, around 9 AM offered the perfect light for capturing vibrant details without harsh shadows. 📍Quang Trung, Phường 10, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng We then strolled along Xuan Huong Lake. The reflection of pine trees and colorful paddle boats on the water is simply magical. Sunset 🌇 here is incredible, and we highly recommend arriving around 5 PM to capture the warm hues over the lake. 📍Phường 1, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng We also visited Cau Dat Tea Plantation, arriving around 7 AM to catch the golden sunrise over the lush green tea 🍃 fields. Walking through the plantation felt refreshing, and the misty morning vibes made our photos look surreal 📸 📍Trường Thọ, Xuân Trường, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng We also visited Pongour Waterfall, one of the most majestic waterfalls we’ve ever seen. The cascading water against the rocky backdrop is mesmerizing. Arriving around 10 AM gave us great lighting without the crowds 💯 📍Đức Trọng District, Lâm Đồng Province In the late afternoon, we explored Da Lat Flower Garden 🪴which is a vibrant oasis full of colorful blooms. We recommend visiting between 4–5 PM when the lighting is softer. This is definitely worth to visit 💯💯💯 📍2 Đường Trần Nhân Tông, Phường 8, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng We also explored quirky Crazy House, which felt like walking into a surrealist painting. The organic architecture is full of twists, turns. Arrive early around 8:30 AM for the best experience before the crowds arrive 😊 📍3 Đường Huỳnh Thúc Kháng, Phường 4, Đà Lạt, Lâm Đồng Lastly, we headed to Lang Biang Mountain for a panoramic view of Da Lat. We recommend visiting around 4 PM to enjoy the golden hour as the sunlight bathes the surrounding hills and valleys. The view is absolutely breathtaking! 📍Lạc Dương District, Lâm Đồng Province Hopefully our journey inspires you to visit Da Lat and capture its beauty through your lens 📸 #vietnamtrip #vacation #trip
