Robin Hill, Tuyen Lam Lake and Dalat City Highlights

In the morning, enjoy the airy space at Robin Hill, Dalat Cable Car Station, for a panoramic view of Dalat City and the marvellous sight of the pine-forested valley stretching down to the south.
After taking some photos, you have the option to take the cable car descending 300 meters, with lovely views of flower and vegetable fields dotted across the pine-forested valley below, to visit Tuyen Lam Lake. Surrounded by pine forest, Tuyen Lam Lake looks like a paradise, with Truc Lam Zen Monastery, which is currently the biggest Zen University in Vietnam. Please dress decently. The quiet setting beside its beautiful flower garden, built on top of Phoenix Hill, adds to the charm of the visit.
Continue driving southward to visit Datanla Waterfall, which has a magnificent view and can be approached by roller coaster.
On the way back to Dalat City centre, visit Bao Dai King's Summer Palace, associated with the last Emperor, and discover the unique cultural lifestyle of Vietnam through its royal decoration. It is a meaningful place on your Dalat trip.
Have lunch at a local restaurant on the way.
In the afternoon, continue to the Valley of Love, the most romantic place for lovers, with many beautiful love signs, flowers, and pine hill scenery beside Da Thien Lake. It is also well known for its cowboys and is a good place for horse riding.
If you love artwork, XQ Embroidery Village (XQ Historical Village) is a worthy place to see many miraculous handmade embroidery works and find out how this fantastic artwork is created. This is the head and original home of XQ hand-embroidered works in Vietnam, and you will be surprised by and admire the charming ladies working here.
Continue to The Cock Church, the Cathedral of Dalat City, known for the bronze rooster placed on top of its tower. Built in the European Gothic architectural style in 1931, it is the biggest church in Dalat City and was designed and built by Frenchmen.
Enjoy free time to taste artichoke tea and jams at the Dalat Specialities Showroom.
