Last summer, my family and I had a vacation in Dalat in order to escape the burning days in Ho Chi Minh city. Instead of traveling by plane, we chose to travel by bus to enjoy the scenery along the way. Dalat is a city of fog, so everything was covered in a thick layer of mist when we arrived there at a very early time in the morning. After checking in at the hotel, we spend time to visit Bao Dai Palace - a very famous structure that tourists should not miss when coming to Dalat. This is the place where King Bao Dai - the last king of the Nguyen Dynasty spent a part of his life together with his family. It was built in a classical European style with skilful details. In the afternoon, we visited Dalat Flower Garden, the place that gathered many different kinds of beautiful flowers from all over the world. We took several pictures there, and I heard that this place would be even prettier in the Flower Festival. In the evening, we went out to the night market to enjoy some featuring foods of Dalat and enjoy the fresh air. It was getting cold as the night approached, and I had to wear an extra T shirt right in the middle of summer. On the next day, we visited Mount Lang biang. That mountain carried a sad story of a pair of lovers who could not have a happy ending. When the girl Biang and her lover Lang were forced to leave each other, they kill them self so they could stay together forever. We ended the trip by going around the city one last time. 3 days were not enough to explore Dalat, and I am sure that I will come back here next summer.
