Vietnam’s Dalat—nicknamed “The City
of Love,” “Le Petit Paris,” and “City of Eternal Spring”—has
long been popular with Vietnamese and expatriate artists and
writers who have taken up residence in villas around town. The
area, originally inhabited by the Lat and Ma hill tribes which
now live in nearby Chicken Village and Lat Village, increased in
popularity during the French colonial era. More than 2,000
beautiful French villas dot the area. Dalat is known all
over Vietnam for its flowers. Set next to Xuan Huong Lake, the Dalat Flower
Gardens were established in 1966 by the
Vietnamese government, and are refined
continually. Among the tastefully
arranged flora are orchids, hydrangeas,
fuchsias, and ferns. Plants and flowers
are also for sale, including special
fern fibers used to stop bleeding in
traditional oriental medicine. Across
the road from the Flower Gardens are
nurseries with various types of bonsai
trees, artfully laid out around the
lake.
