Troc Hill
Troc Hill goes by another name, Bride Hill, because many couples choose this place to take their wedding photos. This is also an ideal spot to view the sunrise and the clouds. The best time for great shots is from 5 to 5:30 a.m. when the first sunlight of the day touches the pine trees.
From Da Lat, take the direction toward Da Lat Golden Valley tourist complex and turn right at the gate. After crossing a pink grass hill, go straight to reach Troc Hill. You can go by motorbike straight up the hill without a fee, according to VNE.
