About Dalat
Dalat, also known as Da Lat, is a city with a population of over 400,000 permanent residents located 308 km to the North East of Ho Chi Minh City. Dalat is 1,502 metres above sea level and established in 1907 by the French colonialists as a holiday centre precisely because of this elevation which makes the local climate more temperate than lowland Vietnam. The French built European style villas and boulevards in this new town in the hills as well as establishing educational facilities which were used by the children of the French colonialists. This distinctive architecture, along with the climate, makes Dalat a popular destination for Vietnamese holiday makers, particularly people on their honeymoon.
