Dalat Hill Station Tour
 |
Standing
at 1,500 m above sea-level Dalat was established at the beginning
of the 1900 by the French as a cool retreat from the sweltering
heat of the coastal plains and the Mekong Delta. It then became
popular with both the colonials and visiting europeans as a
holiday resort where they could go boating on the lake, playing
tennis, hunting in the surrounding forests in search of big
game and since the 1920's, playing a round or two of golf. Many
of the French colonialists built vacation homes in Dalat and
these villas remain standing today in all their architectural
splendour. |
