Exploring the Central Highlands of Vietnam was more than we could have asked for! Dalat in and of itself is a city like no other in Vietnam. Its low density population makes you feel free and less stressed to move around the city. The perfect intertwining of historical French architecture and vast modern architecture amidst the lush nature of the highlands is a treat for the eyes. And let's not forget the heartwarming foods and fresh fruit (strawberries anyone?)!

Not too many families in the Cau Dat area. My two uncles and family are the few ramining from the 3 generations there, still growing tea. Im so happy to see this video and witness how much it has changed and how beautful Da Lat has blossomed.
I spent February 2024 in Vietnam. I was able to spend 5 days in DL. I saw the sunrise from the same spot you two did. Amazing city. I will return for Tet 2025 😊

Pretty sure your dish at the Pho shop was Hu Tieu Bo Kho, which is beef stew with noodles. The banh mi bo kho is served with a baguette in place of the noodles. One of my favorites. And that basket of herbs and leafy greens is meant to be ripped up and shoved into the bo kho (or any other soup dish) for added flavor and goodness. I hope you didn't miss that. I'm in Da Lat for the first time as I ride a motorcycle from Ho Chi Minh City to the Ha Giang Loop way up near the Chinese border. I'm watching your video for ideas. Thanks!

Hi guys! Great vid, thanks for the insight on Dalat. In relation to the sunrise, did you guys have to buy tickets to get into Cau Dat Tea Hill? I have been searching online but there’s not too much info on this. We’re aiming to go check it out tomorrow morning. Thanks !
@LaurenJason

No we didn’t have to! The tea hills are everywhere so we could see them right from the road! In terms of the shots when we were walking through them, it was kind of a random tea hill that we saw a couple other people walking around. Best thing is to get there as early as possible to take a look at where the best viewpoint would be!

Hi! Thank you for the helpful video!! I was wondering if it's easy to arrange for transport within and outside of dalat e.g. when you go out to the villages/ cloud hunting. I saw you said you rented a scooter - is that something that is easy to ride for someone who's never rode a scooter before? Do people get rent cars or do private hire (w/ driver) cars? I imagine having your own ride would make it a lot easier to move around outside the city!
@LaurenJason
6 ай бұрын
For us, riding a scooter here is definitely one of the easier places to ride in Vietnam especially if you leave a bit earlier to avoid the traffic! But with that said, if you'd rather not have the hassle of riding yourself, you can book a private car/tour that goes to roughly the same spots we did (www.getyourguide.com/dalat-l976/explore-the-best-of-dalat-s-countryside-tour-private-car-t531092/?partner_id=WTQXQZS&)

The flower gardens are a great choice if you visit during the late spring/summer season so the flowers are in full bloom! As for pagoda’s, the most popular one to visit would be the Linh Phuoc Pagoda which a bit out of town so if you wanted one right in town we would suggest the Linh Son Pagoda!

You do need an international licence as well as your home country motorcycle license. The Police will fine you or seize your bike if you argue with them. Unqualified riders are a huge danger to everyone and of course without a licence your insurance is invalid.
