So, that's what sights can be viewed in Dalat:
Hotel and Art Gallery Hang-Nga (crazy house)
The most interesting strange construction of wood, concrete and wire, Crazy House, as its locals nicknamed - this is a hotel. And also the gallery of contemporary art and cafe. About this building can be said "terribly beautiful," but definitely, if you arrive in Dalat, it is impossible not to visit him. The stairs and tunnels are carried by the "web" and the "pale loaves", the dark holes - the windows - all this is clearly different from the rest of the architecture of the city. And children in terrible delight (well, and adults too). It is not necessary to settle in the rooms of this hotel - it is worth it a lot (still!), But to go inside the construction and stroll through the numbers (where people do not live), it is possible for a fee. By the way, the owner of this strange building, and at the same time, the architect, Vietnamese Hang Nga, the daughter of the former general secretary of the Communist Party Chuoneg Tiny.

Museum Lam Dong (Lam Dong Museum)
The museum has been working since the late 90s of the last century, and is located in the mansion of one rich local resident (so residents of the city are sometimes called the "Palace of Nguy Huu Hao", in honor of the rich). The palace spread out on the territory of 2.7 hectares, on the top of the hill, 4 km northeast from Dalat. The museum holds artifacts and archaeological finds of different periods of time, as well as cultural ethnological objects - all in 9 exhibition halls. In the museum you can get acquainted with traditional crafts, see national costumes and hunting accessories, learn more about traditional festivals, military life, and so on. This is not just a museum, this is a cultural center. Soon the museum plan to expand and attach four houses on piles who will tell the guests of the complex about local national minorities and their crafts.

Summer Palace Bao Dai (Bao Dai Summer Palace)
"Royal Territory" King Bao Dai. It is located in a pair of kilometers from the center of Dalata on a high hill (the height of which is 1550 meters). Initially, the residence of the French rulers and from the 50s of the last century, the property of Bao Dai, this is an incredibly the original building will certainly surprise you. Interestingly, during the reconstruction of the builders discovered an underground 4-kilometer tunnel, but the Vietnamese ruler ordered to be silent about it. It is known that the tunnel connects the first palace with the second, there are side branches that connect the palace with villas on Tran Hung Tao Street. Surprisingly, but in spite of different things are not quite pleasant events, the palace has survived in an excellent form, so travelers can enjoy beautiful interior and luxurious exterior. An interesting collection is the national flags of countries that were in political relations with Vietnam, as well as busts of the members of the royal family, family portraits and antique furniture.

Ancient Pagoda of the Heavenly Gods (Dragon Pagoda)
It is located on a hill called Dragon Hill, 5 km north-east of Dalat. She was erected here at the end of the 50s of the last century, members of the community of THO Dae. Pagoda initially consisted of 3 structures made of wood that was covered with iron roofs. True, at the end of the 80s, one of the buildings was demolished, and the other two were expanded. Directly in the center of the sanctuary you can see the Buddha statues of 2.5 m high, in the corners there are statues of four other gods. In the sanctuary called Min Kuang you can see three more statues of the Buddha. Moreover, these statues are made of aloe valuable wood, height under 4 meters. There are still one altar of Buddha Shakyamuni for about 10 meters long.
Chicken Village (Chicken Village)
First of all, these villages are known thanks to their huge statue of the rooster in the center of the village. Actually, there is nothing special in this village, except that the village of 600 people of Koho people live in the village - as they live now, you can watch this village. The village is located next to the highway 17 km from Dalata. As for the rooster, except that it is just fun, it is also supplied with a special device - when the water is pumped up with the pump, the rooster begins to sneak. And the appearance of the statue is somehow connected with the legend of the unfortunate love and the tragic death of some local mistresses.
Dalatsky Cathedral (NHÀ Thờ Chính TÒa đà Lạt)
This Catholic Cathedral, built in honor of St. Nicholas, was erected by the 1940s when Dalat captured the Japanese. Parishioners in this cathedral in those days were European colonists and local residents facing Catholicism. The cathedral of pink brick is decorated with chic stained glass windows (from France) and 47-meter spire.
Lake Suanhayong
Artificial lake in the form of a crescent in the heart of Dalata appeared in 1919, after the construction of the dam. Quite rapidly, the locals were chosen by the water and began to often break picnics on his shores, and also ride on catamarans in the form of swans. Once the lake was called "Le Grand Lak", but then he was renamed him in honor of the local poetess Ho Suan Hyong of the 17th century. By the way, "Sumakhyong" can also be translated as "fragrance of spring". The embankment is very romantic and picturesque. Especially often come to photograph newlyweds. Right there are near Flower Gardens (Ray of Hoa Dalat) which appeared in the 60s of the last century. What is there just no! And hydrangea, and fuchsia, and orchids! In the cells here live monkeys that entertain the people. Next to the gardens in the stalls are sold some colors and plants, for example, Ku Lee - fern stems that can be used for medical purposes.
Pagoda lame
Also, it is called Podgar Kuan Em you. Built it in 1961. Moreover, most of the pagoda was made by the hands of a monk, in particular, the main gate, a Japanese garden with a bridge, as well as wooden furniture for the pagoda. This is a very picturesque place, with paths and shady trees. Look for Pagoda 500 meters from the Pasteur Institute on ul. Theyene Mi, 2.
French district
There is this region between the cinema and the Fan Din Fung Street. When the French gone from here, there was little changed here. This is a great place for hiking.
