Despite some popular sightseeing spots like Thung lung Tinh Yeu (Love Valley), Than Tho Lake, and Cam Ly Waterfalls, tourists to Dalat in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong are recommended to make a tour to farms to have a new and interesting experience.
Thanh Mau area in Ward 7 of Dalat City is where tourists can find popular strawberry gardens. People will have a chance to admire fruitful and beautiful gardens and enjoy fresh fruits. Some farms’ owners charge VND10,000 for entrance fee but some allow free entrance for guests to come and enjoy strawberry for free. This is a good chance for tourists to talk and watch these hospitable farmers at work.
Other interesting venues that tourists should head to are flower glass houses in three villages of Ha Dong, Van Thanh and Thai Phien.
Ha Dong flower village was established in 1975 by 35 households who came from Hanoi. The venue has original architecture of a northern village with garden, pond, and cattle cages. Van Thanh village is known as a kingdom of roses while Thai Phien is home to flowers originated from foreign countries like sword lily, hydrangea, and dianthus among others.
If tourists visit these locations early in the morning they can learn some gardening tips from farmers. Those who come at night time will admire a fantastic view of flower-heating cages that look like thousands of fireflies sparkling in the dark.
Travelers who wish to capture the best pictures of cabbage and potatoes gardens should follow a path leading to the peak of Langbiang Mountain. On both sides of the road are a vast area of flowers, vegetables and fruits.
