Things To Do

Get Outside

• Hồ Xuân Hương (Xuan Huong Lake) — The heart of the city. A gentle lakeside stroll with pedal boats, pine-lined paths, and easy café stops along the way.
• Trúc Lâm Pagoda & Cable Car — Take the cable car over pine-covered hills to this serene hilltop pagoda. A beautiful morning outing.
• Datanla Falls & Adventure Park — A short trip from the resort: ride the alpine coaster down through the forest to the falls, then explore zip lines, roller coasters, and scenic rides. A great half-day out.
• Elephant Falls — More dramatic and a bit further out — worth the trip.
• Tuyền Lâm Lake — A large, peaceful reservoir ringed by pine forests south of the city. Home to a golf club if you fancy a round, plus scenic cycling and boat trips.
• Capybara Garden — Yes, really. Đà Lạt has a capybara petting experience and it's as delightful as it sounds.
• Crazy House (Hang Nga Guesthouse) — A surrealist architectural wonder — think Gaudí meets fairy tale. Weird and wonderful.
• Đà Lạt Flower Gardens — Colorful, photogenic, and very peaceful.
• Strawberry Farms — Đà Lạt is famous for its strawberries. Visit a farm and pick your own.

The resort also organizes curated local tours — ask at the front desk when you arrive.

Eat & Drink

Đà Lạt has a distinct food culture, shaped by its cool climate and fertile highlands. The resort restaurant is your best bet for a full meal, but these spots are worth venturing out for.

• Đà Lạt Night Market — The best spot for evening snacks. Graze on grilled rice paper, grilled nem, and fresh strawberries straight from local farms. Wander, snack, repeat.
• Bánh Căn Lệ — A beloved local spot for bánh căn, tiny savory rice cakes cooked in small clay molds. A true Đà Lạt specialty.
• La Viet Coffee — Arguably the city's most celebrated specialty roastery. A must if you take coffee seriously.
• Married Bean — A charming café with great brews and a beautiful setting.
• Mew Roastery — Another local gem for serious coffee drinkers.

Don't leave without trying: artichoke tea, fresh strawberry jam, and avocado ice cream — all Đà Lạt classics.

North Vietnam

• Hạ Long Bay — Iconic limestone karsts rising from emerald water. Book a 2-night cruise for the full experience.
• Sa Pa — Terraced rice fields, hill tribe culture, and mountain scenery. Best reached by overnight train from Hà Nội.
• Hà Giang Loop — For the adventurous: a motorbike route through some of Vietnam's most dramatic mountain landscapes. Life-changing.

Central Vietnam

• Đà Nẵng — Vietnam's most dynamic coastal city. Great seafood, beaches, and easy flight connections.
• Hội An Ancient Town — A UNESCO-listed town of lantern-lit streets and incredible charm, 30 minutes from Đà Nẵng.
• Huế Imperial City — Vietnam's former imperial capital. Royal tombs, history, and a slower pace.
• Phong Nha Caves — Some of the world's largest cave systems. A 2–5 hour bus ride from Đà Nẵng, absolutely worth it.

South Vietnam

• Saigon (Hồ Chí Minh City) — Vietnam's beating heart, and the hometown of Jeremy's father. The best food scene in the country, world-class coffee, and endless energy.
• Phan Rang — A quieter coastal town and the hometown of Jeremy's mother. Worth a stop if you're heading south along the coast.
• Nha Trang — Beach resort city with clear water, island hopping, and water sports.
• Phú Quốc — A tropical island off the south coast. Vietnam's best beaches and best sunsets.

Hong Kong ✈️ ~2hrs from Saigon

Ming-Sum's hometown and birthplace — just a short flight away and a world unto itself. A natural add-on to your trip.

• Dim sum — The real deal. Try Lung King Heen for a Michelin-starred splurge, or One Dim Sum for a beloved neighbourhood classic. Har gow, char siu bao, egg tarts — the works.
