Da Lat is a small city that wants to entrust the rest of my life here ❤️, a day trip to Da Lat from Nha Trang has also become the first choice for travel lovers. Da Lat is 140KM away from Nha Trang, which is a long distance, usually around 7 o'clock.
Dalat is 1,500 meters above sea level, with clear air and bright winds, all year round like spring. From the beach to the plateau, starting from the hot Nha Trang, the temperature keeps dropping, and the mountains are drowsily climbed, and there is a thick fog outside the window, as if returning to winter. At this time, you will sigh the magic of Vietnam, it gets cooler and cooler as you go south.
At this time you still can't feel the charm of a colorful town, just the yard, small flowers and bougainvillea that can be seen everywhere. We found a place to eat and felt the super cheap prices. The taste is not bad. My favorite is the Vietnamese vegetable salad, which is delicious and beautiful. There was Chinese music playing in the shop, and the young man hummed softly, really wanting to sing a few words to scare the people eating here. Hehe~~
Da Lat has been selected as one of the top ten honeymoon resorts in the world. It is famous for its surrounding mountains, pleasant climate, mountains, forests, waterfalls, and lakes. Suspected that the dream of Chunchun last night was good, Yuan is now fighting the grass to win. Laughter comes from both faces. Wow! It is really a holy place for super warm love healing!
The air is filled with gentleness and enthusiasm. This is undoubtedly a small French-style town, no matter the streets and lanes, garden lawns, or the villas and verdant pine trees in this small town...

Attractions
Baoda Palace
The first attraction came to Baoda Palace, which is on a hillside. I don't have any special feelings about the furnishings in the palace, but I really like to read the simple introductions placed in each room. These introductions are linked together, and it becomes a royal story that leaves much room for imagination.
Emperor Bao Da is the last emperor in Vietnam's history, which makes people think of Pu Yi, the last emperor of China. The two of them have something in common. Baoda was controlled by France and Japan successively. Like Puyi, they were also puppet emperors, and they both had experiences in exile. However, their life trajectories are somewhat different. Bao Da was sent to France to study and live at the age of 9 and returned to Vietnam to take charge of politics at the age of 19. But Pu Yi grew up by Cixi's side, and almost had no chance to step out of the Forbidden City. Baosteel University has a certain degree of autonomy. It had reorganized the cabinet with the approval of the French governor, but the reform ended without a disease. Like Puyi, Baoda abdicated and reset many times, seeking a way out among various forces.
They all look forward to the restoration of their dynasty, but in the wave of times change, in the seesaw of various forces, it can only be a tragedy after all. They are people kidnapped by historical opportunities. History remembers their names and their lives trapped in the torrent of history. Is this luck or misfortune?
Mary Monastery Dalat
Later, we will come to Da Lat Mary Monastery. Da Lat Mary Monastery is located in Da Lat in south-central Vietnam. It was founded in 1931. The monastery was originally used as a holiday for people in France and other European countries. Later, the French evacuated Vietnam and the monastery became a church for local orphans and disabled children.
Da Lat is a plateau city with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. The Mary Monastery is built on the hillside, which looks majestic over Dalat. The side of the hillside is full of purple flowers, which match up with the surrounding yellow houses and they look beautiful and full of vitality. The sun shines through the leaves, mottled and scattered on the road, warming people's hearts like a fire.
Entering the gate of the monastery, the first thing you see is a wide and elegant front yard. The quiet courtyard is full of potted plants and trees. The green shade is deep and the flowers are full of flowers. All of his exhaustion vanished.
Following an uphill path through the front yard, the church of the monastery suddenly appeared in front of you. The biggest feature of the Mary Abbey Church is that it has a unique pink appearance and a wide triangular roof. Under the cover of the deep blue sky, it is not only solemn, but also full of tenderness. This tenderness is closely related to her pink exterior wall.
Like many western cathedrals, the Mary Monastery in Dalat also has stained glass windows, which look dazzling and colorful under the blessing of sunlight, with flowing light flying.
Going behind the church, passing through a small door that only allows one person to pass through, you come to the "secret garden". The secret garden is directly behind the church. It is filled with infamous flowers and plants. On the left and right sides are buildings similar to classrooms, with neat wooden benches outside the building.
Behind the garden is a botanical garden, which is higher and overlooks the city of Dalat. There are many old photos on the walls of the botanical garden. These photos include landscapes and portraits of people. The portraits are basically priests and nuns who have dedicated their lives to this monastery.
If time permits, I really want to spend more time in this pink-decorated church. The bits and pieces, one tree, one tree, one flower and one grass here are enough to cleanse the soul and purify the soul.
