Da Lat (Lam Dong)

When visitors come to Dalat at the end of the year, they will have the opportunity to watch the clouds floating in the blue sky and the morning mist stretching over the hillsides.

Cloudy locations are usually located quite far from the city center, about 10-20 km. Visitors should depart at 4 a.m. or 4:30 a.m. to be able to catch the best moment – when the carpets of clouds swirl around the mountain. It often covers the foggy city and creates an impressive scene at dawn.

Hills with beautiful clouds such as Cau Dat tea hill, Da Phu hill, Thien Phuc Duc hill, pink grass hill or Hon Bo peak, and Tuyen Lam lake are popular check-in locations. If visitors do not want to conquer the hills, they can still take pictures of the sky and clouds of Da Lat from rooftop cafes. The rattan hunting cafe often has a beautiful view and unique interior decoration.

In addition, Da Lat also has many beautiful homestays with hilly views. If travelers don’t want to move, they just need to get up early to be able to enjoy the view of the mountains and clouds right from their room.
