Da Lat Countryside & Pongour Waterfall

Da Lat - Van Thanh Flower Village
Vạn Thành is known as the largest flower village in Da Lat. Despite its steep, terraced landscape, it remains the main supplier of flowers to the city, especially roses. Vạn Thành Roses are famous for their wild rose-like appearance. With new rose varieties imported from the Netherlands, the local people here have cultivated many types of roses in various colors, including velvet red, lotus pink, pale pink, moonlight white, and blush pink. As a result, the area is renowned for its strong, vibrant rose varieties, but it also attracts visitors with a wide range of other beautiful flowers such as chrysanthemums, lilies, salem, carnations, and gerbera daisies. Wandering through this “kingdom of flowers,” visitors can also enjoy the enchanting fragrance that fills the air.

Lam Dong - The Ethnic Minority Village
One of the small groups of the Chil people lived in Da Lat during its early formation and development. The K’ho people lived in the valleys near the waterfalls and rivers.

Elephant Waterfall - It would be a real pity to visit Da Lat - Lam Dong without making a trip to the rural area of Nam Ban to witness the majestic and mysterious Liêng Rơwoa (Elephant Falls). To fully appreciate the pristine beauty of the waterfall, visitors must “conquer” 145 winding stone steps: some are naturally formed rock steps clinging to steep cliffs, while others are wooden planks of a charming little bridge swaying precariously above the abyss. At the foot of the waterfall and within the ancient forest, large rocks resembling elephants can be found. Because of this, the thunderous roar of the waterfall gives the impression of a herd of elephants racing or playfully spraying water with their trunks.

Linh An Pagoda - Linh Ẩn Pagoda, also known as Linh Ẩn Tự, is located in the scenic area of Elephant Falls (Thác Voi) in Nam Ban town, Lam Ha district, Lam Dong province. It has long been an ideal destination for many travelers, especially Western visitors who enjoy adventure, exploration, and experiencing the vibrant colors of the East. Though situated in a remote and secluded area, the architecture of Linh Ẩn Pagoda still exudes a modern charm, harmoniously blending with the surrounding nature. The entire pagoda complex, covering over 4 hectares of land, is lush with various forest trees such as gió, sộp, si, and bằng lăng, creating a serene and natural atmosphere.

Thien An Cricket Farm - The Cricket Farm is a new tourist attraction in Da Lat, featuring rustic huts made of thatch and crickets raised in plastic containers, yet housing thousands of crickets that continuously reproduce to supply numerous restaurants and eateries in Da Lat. This unique form of eco-tourism has attracted many visitors who are curious to explore and learn about the process of farming crickets in a charming and unconventional setting.

Me Linh - Mê Linh Coffee is designed with an open architecture, simple yet charming, unlike other coffee shops. It is surrounded by lush green coffee plantations. While one might expect the cool Da Lat climate to call for a cozy, enclosed space, Mê Linh Coffee does the opposite—it embraces an open, airy atmosphere that connects visitors with the natural breeze. Everything here is in harmony with nature, not confined within a cage under bright, extravagant lights. This makes it an ideal spot for young people, nature lovers, couples seeking a peaceful retreat, or adventurers looking for a fresh and exciting experience. At Mê Linh Coffee, you not only enjoy the rich and flavorful taste of coffee, but you can also visit the souvenir display area, where you can buy handwoven textile products made by the local indigenous people. It’s a place where you can connect with both the flavors and the culture of Da Lat.

Thị Tran Nam Ban - Cuong Hoan Silk Factory
The silk weaving factory in Da Lat is a fascinating place to visit, where you can witness the entire process, from silk cocoons to finished fabric. This is the only silk factory in Vietnam that still maintains the traditional method of extracting silk fibers from old cocoons. The cocoons are soaked in hot water, and the delicate threads are unwound and fed into a machine to open the cocoon. The threads are then wound onto a spinning spindle and used on a large loom to weave fabric with intricate patterns. It’s a unique and educational experience for anyone interested in traditional craftsmanship and the art of silk production.

Pongour Falls - Among the various waterfalls in Da Lat, such as Datanla, Voi, and Pongour, this waterfall stands out, surrounded by a vast, pristine forest. It is about 40 meters tall and 100 meters wide. Its polished steps resemble a natural amphitheater! A powerful stream of water cascades down the seven tiers, filling the air with a thunderous roar. The waterfall is majestic, yet not overwhelming. Its beauty is poetic, and it is admired by both locals and tourists alike.
